NANLUX SNAPBAG Octa 5′ Shallow Soft (NL Mount) — Broad Soft Light for Evoke Series | Specs & Pricing

Billed as "broad soft lighting perfected," the new SNAPBAG Octa 5' Shallow Soft has been designed with fixtures from the Evoke series in mind.

NANLUX has worked closely with DoPchoice to create the new SNAPBAG Octa 5' Shallow Soft with NL Mount.

A new professional softbox, specifically designed for NL mount fixtures like the popular Evoke 900C, 1200B, 2400B, and 5000B, its goal is to create perfect broad, even, and naturally soft illumination. To achieve this it has dual diffusers and a large 155 cm / 5 ft diameter, while the included high-quality eggcrate maintains light quality while adding precise directional control.

Key Features:

• Large diameter 155 cm/5 ft and shallow depth 65.5 cm/2.2 ft

• Delivers broad, even, and smooth soft light

• Includes two diffusers and an eggcrate

• Quick setup and collapse

• Compatible with NL mount light fixtures

Broad and Soft 

NANLUX says that the fixture delivers broad, soft illumination with smooth, natural falloff. Part of the way it does this is via a custom inner diffuser that combines two materials with different transmission levels, significantly enhancing the softness and uniformity of the light. The design also makes the softbox shallower at just 65.5cm / 2.2ft depth. This means it is more compact and easier to use in confined shooting environments, and it's even more compact when folded.

It comes with its own carrying bag and can be quickly stored immediately after it is collapsed.

Fast and Durable

There's been plenty of attention paid to design and usability. The Octa 5' Shallow Soft combines a speed ring, rods, and diffusion fabric into a fully integrated design. Eight rigid rods form a stable internal structure, reducing the risk of deformation over long-term use. The rods have a lock-catch mechanism that allows the softbox to be quickly secured and released, making setup and collapse speedy affairs.
