I’ve used them all: but THIS is the one!
For all the competition in this class of Parabolic umbrellas/softboxes, I wasn’t so sure about how the quality of this Raja model would stand up to the competition. I’m happy to say it not only meets, but exceeds, its competitors (even the far more expensive ones!)
In only a few weeks of owning this, I’ve used it on more than a dozen location shoots - both photo and video - and have set it up and taken it down every time. Everything is holding up very well - no tears, no shotty craftsmanship, the Velcro is tight, it just quick and works. And works great!
Between beauty shoots (stills) and single-person interviews (video), I think this model is the perfect balance of size, light quality, and fall-off (at a reasonable distance away from the subject) ; I can literally use this for everything when a soft, slightly specular, and color-accurate modifier is required.
One other HUGE benefit: my stills lighting equipment is Profoto, and my video lighting all take a Bowens S-mount; for another $40, you can buy the Profoto attachment, which comes on and off the soft box securely in less than 2 mins. HUGE win!
If I had to list a gripe, it’s that the travel bag could use an extra pouch/pocket for the removable diffusers; this is by no means a deal breaker, but it would just be a “nice to have.”
I can’t recommend this Raja soft box enough! Save yourself the money from buying the more expensive ones, and just get this one. It’s function, versatility, and quality make it a no-brainer.

Great softbox
Super easy to set up. The umbrella-type mechanism is durable made of solid metal. No shafts to insert -- just take it out of the case, and pop it open. There are two diffuser layers, plus a grid, which together make for nice smooth light where you want it.

This whole line is great.
I have 5 different sizes in this line. I use them all... depending on the situation... I use them with my Aputure lights (300d iis). I also have the aputure light dome ii and light dome mini's these are simpler to set up and use on set. Hands down a better solution...

Great light
The output of this modifier is beautiful light with high contrast and deep colors. The modifier is big (deep...) so just make sure you have a high ceiling to fit it in the room and still be able to see the model.

Fantastic modifier giving sweet controllable light. Inner diffuser & additional front grid give additional opportunities for shaping light.
Now pretty much my ‘go to’ modifier for most jobs. Umbrella style set up is easy to use & comes with a useful case for storage & transport.

This thing is awesome. Fabulous construction, mechanism allows you to get the box up and down in a jiffy, really not much to say other than this! Solid ribs means it won't collapse under its own weight like similar models.
Bowens mount rattles a bit, but it's not an issue in use.

Question & Answer
Question :
What mount is this? will it take flashpoint xplor 600 bowens mount?
Answer :
Although we are not familiar with Flashpoint, the Phottix Raja softboxes come with a Bowens compatible mount.
Question :
Is there a Profoto speedring available for purchase for this softbox?
Answer :
You can buy adapter rings from various sources for various monolights. I buy my Hensel from Alibaba in China for less than $7.00 each. Beware that there are two (2) standard diameters for these rings.
Question :
Can I use this softbox with my speedlite using the Godox S-type Bracket Bowens Mount Holder?
Answer :
Yes! I've used the Phottix Raja's with the S-type brackets with no issues.
Question :
Does the raja 80 work with a cerberus multi mount?
Answer :
Mine came with he Bowen’s Mount. The mount is changeable. Search for the correct mount with your purchase of the Raja. Excellent softbox though.
Question :
How deep is the 24" soft box?
Answer :
When fully opened, its roughly 34 inches deep when using the included Bowen’s S mount; it’s 36-37 inches in total depth when using the Profoto adapter
Question :
Can you use this with continuous lighting (LED) for video projects?
Answer :
Yes, just make sure the mount is Bowen. I use a Godox SL-60W LED fixture.
Question :
What are the dimensions of the softbox when open (specifically depth)?
Answer :
It's 41" in diameter and approximately 14" in depth.
Question :
Works with phottix - cerberus multi support with bowens speed ring (ph87308)?
Answer :
All of Phottix products are default Bowens mount.
Question :
Hello. I have a godox ad400 pro. This softboxt works for that style of flash, for a Bowen system?
Answer :
Yep. This is a bowens mount based modifier, as are most of Phottix's products. You'd have to order other brand mounts separately, or purchase the modifier as part of a package that includes a different mounting system (if that's what you wanted).
Question :
Is the inside reflecting surface smooth or textured?
Answer :
Its relatively smooth, similar to the interior of a silver lined umbrella.
