Nanlux has worked with DoPchoice to create the new SNAPBAG Octa 5′ Shallow Soft with NL Mount (SB-O5-NL).
This new professional softbox is specifically designed for NL mount fixtures like the Evoke 900C, 1200B, 2400B and 5000B with the goal of creating perfect broad, even and naturally soft illumination.
To achieve this, it has dual diffusers and a large 155 cm/5 ft diameter. The included high-quality eggcrate maintains the beautiful light quality while adding precise directional control.
Even though it is wide once assembled, the Octa 5′ Shallow Soft with NL Mount is said to also be remarkably compact when folded and fast to set up, and is built with durable, premium materials for demanding production environments.
The Octa 5′ Shallow Soft delivers broad, soft illumination with smooth, natural falloff. Its custom inner diffuser combines two materials with different transmission levels, significantly enhancing the softness and uniformity of the light.
The design also makes the softbox shallower at just 65.5cm / 2.2ft depth. This means it is more compact and easier to use in confined shooting environments. The included eggcrate effectively controls the direction and spread of the light, delivering a more controlled light spread.
The Octa 5′ Shallow Soft combines a speed ring, rods and diffusion fabric into a fully integrated design. Eight rigid rods form a stable internal structure, reducing the risk of deformation over long-term use.
The rods have a lock-catch mechanism that allows the softbox to be quickly secured and released, making set-up and collapse fast and effortless. To assemble, push the rods downward and the softbox unfolds instantly.
Collapsing is also said to be rapid and simple – unlock the rods one by one to pack it away, with no extra tools required.
