The Angler BoomBox Octagonal Softbox with Bowens Mount V2 is a 36" softbox characterized by its octagon shape. It is designed to be compatible with monolights, flash heads, and LED lights featuring Bowens reflector mounts. The BoomBox is a lightweight and portable accessory that serves as an essential tool for quickly setting up lighting equipment, whether it be in the field or in a studio setting. Unlike traditional softboxes, the BoomBox functions similarly to an umbrella and eliminates the time-consuming process of setting up a softbox. This is made possible through its integrated speed ring and flexible rods.
Equipped with a reflective silver interior, the BoomBox amplifies the light source and creates a powerful, specular beam. This makes it particularly suitable for situations where high contrast and sharp detail are required. The removable front diffuser and inner baffle provide a soft, wraparound light that is ideal for portrait and fashion photography. Additionally, the classic octagonal shape of the softbox ensures that light is directed precisely and limits spillage, while also generating natural-looking catchlights in the subject's eyes. For those seeking a beauty dish-style lighting effect, the BoomBox offers a removable deflector plate that helps eliminate potential hotspotting.
Setting up the BoomBox is a breeze, as it can be effortlessly opened and closed like an umbrella. Whether working in a studio or on location, the collapsible design of the BoomBox allows for quick setup and teardown. Its integrated aluminum support rods provide stability to the softbox, ensuring that it maintains its shape when secured to a light stand or other support systems, even in challenging outdoor conditions.
The BoomBox is outfitted with a Bowens S-type 144mm adapter ring, enabling compatibility with a wide range of monolights and studio flashes. Optional 144mm rings are also available for use with lights from brands such as Broncolor, Elinchrom, and Profoto.
