Angler’s Quick-Open Deep Parabolic 48-inch softbox opens in seconds and folds up just as quickly. The QO-DP48 softbox features integrated locking rods that lift and lock in place and make setting up fast and effortless. The release buttons for each rod let you fold down the softbox so you’ll be ready to move to the next setup or location in seconds.

This 48-inch softbox is a 16-sided light shaper that provides a soft yet focused beam for portrait, product, and fashion photography in the studio or on location. The deep parabolic shape delivers directional control while it reduces light spill. Included inner and outer diffusers prevent hot spots while they let you manage the level of diffusion that’s perfect for your exposure.

Bowens Mount
The Quick-Open softbox is compatible with any flash head or monolight that’s equipped with a Bowens accessory mount, so you can add the QO softbox to your kit of light-shaping tools.

Integrated Support Rods
The QO-DP48 features integrated support rods that snap into place in seconds. You’ll be ready to shoot in a fraction of the time it takes to set up a conventional softbox.

Button Release
You don’t always have time to break down a softbox and transporting it can be tricky when you have to go to another room or negotiate to move around your other gear. The QO softbox solves this problem because it folds down as quickly as it sets up. Each rod has its own release button, so breaking down and moving is time efficient and saves you some effort.

Reflective Silver Interior
Without diffusion, the softbox’s reflective silver interior intensifies the light and delivers a punchy, specular light that’s great for adding drama and pop to your exposure.

Inner and Outer Diffuser
The two removable diffusers let you control the amount of diffusion that’s perfect for your exposure. The inner diffuser has a double layer that will eliminate hot spots, and the front diffuser spreads tight over the softbox for an even light that will wrap around your subject.

Natural-Looking Catchlight
The QO softbox focuses the light and provides a natural-looking catchlight to make your subject’s eyes come alive.

Speed-Ring Inserts
Angler has a speed-ring insert that adds compatibility to your softbox when you use a monolight by popular brands like Profoto, Elinchrome, or Broncolor.

Honeycomb Grid
Honeycomb grid adds even more directionality by narrowing the beam spread and limiting light spill.
