Lencarta 140 x 27cm (55 x 11") Folding Pro Strip Softbox to fit Lencarta/Bowens

Softboxes are often considered to be the ideal tool for creating soft light, because they combine the soft, diffused light effect of a shoot-through umbrella with the controlled, directional (but harsher) light of a reflective umbrella. Strip soft boxes are ideal in several different lighting situations. They are the perfect tool for creating both highly controlled rim lighting for both portrait and fashion shots and for full length shots, for emphasizing the shape in glamour shots and for creating the perfect shape of specular highlight in product shots, for example wine bottles. The speed ring is fitted with a locking nut, allowing the softbox to be rotated to the exact angle needed, and when used horizontally, it’s perfect for lighting groups of people or the full length of a product in product photography

And good softbox design isn't just about the light that goes forward, it is also about preventing light from escaping from the sides and rear of the softbox, where it is very likely to cause lens flare, reduce the contrast of your shots and spill unwanted light onto reflective surfaces such as the ceiling and walls. So, our Profold Softbox range has extra thick walls and also has heavy duty fastening flaps at the rear to stop light leakage.

STRONG BUILD QUALITY:

As well as using a thick material build quality, our strip softboxes have been made with a wide strip of Velcro type material that allows the diffusers (included) and egg crate honeycomb (not included) to be fitted tightly and securely. This also allows the diffusers to be set back slightly within the Softbox which makes the light much more directional to avoid light spill

INNER AND OUTER DIFFUSER INCLUDED:

Removable front and inner diffuser allows for versatility in refining how hard/soft your light is. Both diffusers are highly resistant to yellowing with age thanks to the high quality UV coating, and they can be wiped clean if needed. The opening mechanism includes a deflector plate, that restricts the light in the centre of the soft box to avoid ‘hot spots’ and directs it towards the soft box walls creating even and consistent light

D RING FITTING:

Our ProFold Strip Softbox has a D Ring fitted to each corner, allowing you to tie the strip softbox down safely when using outdoors, preventing damage or injury caused by wind as well as making sure your softbox stays in the position you need

IDEAL SOFTBOX FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS:

This strip softbox is ideal for product and portrait photography. It can be used for full length portraits and also widely used to light backgrounds where the length helps to avoid fall-off from top to bottom as well as rim lighting and consistent product photography. The Lencarta ProFold folding 140cm strip softbox is considered to be the ideal tool for creating soft light
