Why the Godox Softbox QR-PT Series is a Game-Changer for Photographers and Videographers
If you’ve ever wrestled with a softbox setup while your client waits, you’ll understand the appeal of a lighting modifier that’s quick, reliable, and delivers beautiful results every time. The Godox Softbox QR-PT Series is designed for creatives who want efficiency without sacrificing quality. From content creators working in tight spaces to studio professionals needing soft but punchy light, these softboxes do the job and do it well.
Whether you go for the 70cm, 90cm, 120cm, or the mighty 150cm version, each Godox Softbox in the QR-PT lineup comes with a quick-release system that makes assembly and teardown a breeze. No frustration, no delays. Just click, lock, and light.
What sets the Godox Softbox QR-PT Series apart?
The Godox QR-PT softboxes are parabolic in shape, which means the light they produce is focused and flattering, with soft edges and excellent coverage. Each Godox Softbox features a reflective silver interior to maximise light output and includes both inner and outer diffusers so you can fine-tune the softness. You can even add an optional grid to control spill and create more contrast in your shots.
Key features of the Godox Softbox QR-PT range:
- Quick-release click-lock mechanism
- Durable build with flexible rods
- Reflective silver interior for maximum efficiency
- Double diffusion with removable inner baffle and outer diffuser
- Grid-compatible (sold separately)
- Compatible with Bowens mount lights, including most Godox strobes and LEDs
- Available in multiple sizes: 70cm, 90cm, 120cm, and 150cm
- Includes a padded carry bag for easy transport
Which Godox Softbox size is right for you?
Let’s take a look at the different sizes in the QR-PT range and what they’re best suited for:
70cm Godox Softbox
Compact and highly portable, this is perfect for quick setups, especially in small rooms or on-location shoots. Great for vloggers, event shooters, or anyone needing a lightweight modifier that still delivers a soft light effect.
90cm Godox Softbox
The happy medium. Large enough to give you a soft, natural look but small enough to move around easily. Ideal for headshots, interviews, and YouTube content creation.
120cm Godox Softbox
A popular choice for studio portraiture and commercial shoots. It produces beautifully soft light with enough spread for half-body or full-body portraits.
150cm Godox Softbox
Big, bold, and brilliant. Ideal for fashion, beauty, or group portraits where you need the light to wrap gently around your subjects. Requires a bit more space but offers dreamy, cinematic results.
Where the Godox Softbox excels
This series isn’t just about looks. It’s built for real working conditions. Whether you’re in a studio with a fan going, on a windy rooftop, or shooting in a client’s lounge, each Godox Softbox QR-PT is designed to handle the job with ease.
- For photographers: The light fall-off is gradual and natural, perfect for skin tones, product shots, and dramatic effects.
- For videographers: The consistent spread and shape of the light make it ideal for interviews, talking-head content, and creative storytelling.
- For content creators: Easy to set up and pack away between sessions, it’s a reliable tool when you're juggling gear on your own.
Setup in seconds, not minutes
The standout feature of any Godox Softbox in this range is the quick setup mechanism. Just lift each rod into place until it clicks. Need to break it down? Press a button and collapse the rod. It’s a one-person job, no screwdriver or extra hands needed. The system is durable enough to survive repeated setups without wearing down, which is great for creators on the move.
Compatible and flexible
The standard Bowens mount means you can use your Godox Softbox with popular Godox lights like the SL series, LA300R, AD400Pro, AD600Pro, and more. Want to use it with other lighting brands like Profoto or Broncolor? You can, with a compatible speed ring adapter (sold separately).
Tips for getting the most out of your Godox Softbox
- Use both diffusers for ultra-soft lighting in beauty or portrait work
- Remove the inner baffle if you want slightly more contrast
- Add a grid to tighten your light spread and reduce spill
- Angle it slightly off-centre for a more natural look
- Pair the 70cm or 90cm with a boom arm for overhead or hair light setups
- Use the 120cm or 150cm for full-length fashion shots or soft group lighting
