FAQ

Is there a grid solution for the 8x8 airbag?

This is the grid made for it. It attaches around the edges of the inflated 8x8 softbox with hook and loop. With 2-stop diffusion at 3 m and 5,600K, Aputure measures 4,530 lux without the grid and 3,450 lux with it, so expect roughly a quarter less light in exchange for tighter spill.

How much hassle is it to fold the 8x8 grid back up?

Collapse it diagonally so it lies flat, fold it in half, fold in half again and tie it with the hook-and-loop straps, then it goes into its carrying case.

How does the gridded 8x8 compare with a regular softbox?

With the grid on, the 8x8 works like a very large softbox with an egg-crate: the 230 x 230 cm grid narrows the spread so the light falls mostly in front of the source. The Control Skirt 8x8 adds side control on top of that.
