Godox EazyFlow Softboxes: Pro Soft Light Without the Hassle

A great softbox should not have to be expensive, bulky, or complicated to use. That is how photographer Frankie (@fjhphoto) sums up the Godox EazyFlow Series: professional-quality soft light without the usual hassle. For photographers who travel, teach, shoot on location, or simply want a modifier that does not slow them down, Frankie finds the EazyFlow makes lighting easier, faster, and more accessible.

Why Frankie Rates the EazyFlow

With a range of sizes and shapes, from compact softboxes to large octaboxes and beauty dishes, the EazyFlow gives Frankie the flexibility to build a setup anywhere. These are the points he keeps coming back to:

  • Fast setup and breakdown: open or fold flat in seconds.
  • Travel-friendly design: compact enough to take wherever the shoot goes.
  • Grid included: control spill and shape the light precisely.
  • Swappable mount: easily switch mounts for different lighting systems.
  • Flash and LED compatible: one modifier for both photography and video.
  • Multiple sizes and shapes: from compact softboxes to octaboxes and beauty dishes.
  • Accessible: professional lighting control without a premium modifier price.

Frankie's personal favourites are a compact rectangular EazyFlow for tight and detail work, the 60cm Octabox as an everyday soft key, and the big 150cm Octabox for wraparound portrait light. In our range, the compact end is covered by the EazyFlow Rect 45x60cm.

TL;DR

A studio softbox that travels like a book. The Godox EazyFlow Series folds ultra-flat for a backpack and pops open in about a second with a push, then collapses with the press of a button. It uses a high-strength metal mounting ring, a silver interior with dual-layer diffusion for soft, hotspot-free light, and an included fabric grid for directional control. It ships with a Bowens speed ring and accepts optional rings for MS, Godox, Profoto, and Broncolor. Seven sizes cover octagonal and rectangular shapes, from a compact 60cm octa to a large 150cm octa.

Inside the EazyFlow: The Technical Detail

Frankie's take covers how the EazyFlow feels to use. Here is what makes it work, from the folding design and mount to the light quality and the full size range.

Introducing the Godox EazyFlow

A Studio in Your Backpack

Traditional softboxes are soft on light but hard on space. The EazyFlow Series solves that with an ultra-flat profile that lies almost completely flat when folded, so it slides into a backpack alongside your laptop rather than swallowing a whole case. Stack several together and they nest neatly, which makes carrying a full lighting kit to a location genuinely practical.

That portability is the whole point of the range. Pack light, keep your kit compact, and be ready to shoot the moment you arrive, whether that is a wedding venue, a client office, or a cramped studio corner.

One-Second Setup

A softbox is only useful if it is up when the moment is. The EazyFlow Series uses a rapid-release mechanism that pops open and locks securely with a simple push, then collapses in seconds when you press a button. There are no fiddly rods to thread through fabric channels, which is exactly what you want when you are moving fast at an event or working in a small space.

That quick handling means you spend your time creating rather than building gear, and it makes the difference between catching a fleeting moment and missing it while you set up.

Professional Light Quality

Portability means nothing if the light is poor, so the EazyFlow Series pairs a highly reflective silver interior with premium dual-layer diffusion. Together they eliminate hotspots and spread soft, evenly textured light across your subject, the kind of result you expect from a studio-grade modifier. It works just as well for skin as it does for product.

For more control, every EazyFlow includes a fabric grid that slots on to tighten the beam and cut spill, so you can shape directional light and keep it off the background. It gives you soft, flattering light with the option to make it precise.

Built to Last

Foldable does not have to mean flimsy. The EazyFlow Series is built around a high-strength metal mounting ring, so the part that takes the strain of daily setup and teardown is solid rather than plastic. The locking system holds firm and keeps your softbox stable on the light, shoot after shoot.

One Softbox, Many Systems

The EazyFlow Series ships with a Bowens mount speed ring as standard, so it fits the most common light fitting straight out of the box. When your gear changes, a versatile speed-ring system lets you swap to optional rings for MS, Godox, Profoto, and Broncolor mounts, so the same softbox moves between high-powered strobes and continuous LEDs across brands.

That flexibility protects your investment. Build your modifiers around EazyFlow now, and you are not locked out if you add a different light system later.

The EazyFlow Range: Which Size to Choose

The range covers octagonal and rectangular shapes in a spread of sizes, so you can match the softbox to the job. Larger boxes give softer, wraparound light for portraits and groups, while smaller and rectangular boxes suit tighter setups, product work, and controlled strip-style light.

Model Shape Size Best for
EazyFlow Octa 60cm Octagonal 60cm Compact key, tight spaces, travel
EazyFlow Octa 90cm Octagonal 90cm Everyday portrait key light
EazyFlow Octa 120cm Octagonal 120cm Soft, wraparound portrait light
EazyFlow Octa 150cm Octagonal 150cm Groups and full-length portraits

EazyFlow Rect 60x60cm Square 60 x 60cm Even, catchlight-friendly fill

Godox EazyFlow FAQs

How quickly does the EazyFlow set up?

Very quickly. The rapid-release mechanism pops the softbox open and locks it with a single push, in about a second, and it collapses just as fast with the press of a button. There are no rods to thread, which makes it ideal for fast-paced or on-location work.

What mount does it use?

Every EazyFlow ships with a Bowens mount speed ring as standard. You can also fit optional speed rings for MS, Godox, Profoto, and Broncolor systems, so the same softbox works across different strobes and continuous LEDs.

Does it come with a grid?

Yes. Each EazyFlow includes a fabric grid that attaches to tighten the beam and control spill, so you can switch between soft, open light and precise, directional light without buying a separate accessory.

Which EazyFlow size should I choose?

Larger octaboxes like the 120cm and 150cm give the softest, most wraparound light for portraits and groups. The 90cm octa is a great everyday key, while the 60cm octa suits travel and tight spaces. The rectangular boxes, from 45x60cm to 60x90cm, are ideal for product, tabletop, and strip-style light.
