SPEED RING REQUIRED FOR USE
Lembre-se dos Indispensáveis
A speed ring is required and not included with this unit. Remember to get the best type of speed ring for the light you are using. If you plan on using it with multiple lights we recommend the adjustable speed ring.
This is a Photoflex SilverDome NXT, Medium Softbox , 24 x 32 x 17" (61 x 81 x 43cm) . Photoflex makes a wide variety of softboxes for use on your strobes or hotlights. LiteDomes and MultiDomes are for use with strobes only. SilverDomes and HalfDomes may also be used with hotlights. All Photoflex softboxes require a Speed Ring Adapter, which must be purchased separately.
Choose a softbox according to the size of your subject. For example, a small or extra small is appropriate for a head-and-shoulders portrait, or a very small still-life such as a paperweight. A medium softbox is good for a half-length portrait of an adult. A large is suitable for a group portrait of 3 - 4 people.
Choose a softbox interior color for the lighting effect you want. White is the most universal, giving the most softening effect. Silver gives a little more punch and crispness. Gold (with the MultiDome only) adds that punch, with a warmer tone.
LiteDomes
- White Interiors
- Offer the most softening
- Quick Release
- The Medium, Large and Extra Large LiteDomes feature a Quick-Release tab that releases the tension on the framing rods, to ease removal of the softbox from the Speed Ring.
MultiDomes
- Removable Panels
-
- Softbox begins with white interior
- Four panels each of silver and gold may easily be fastened into place
- Mix and match colors, or blank panels for more customized lighting effects
SilverDomes
- Silver Interiors
-
- Offer softening, but with an intensifying effect
- Adds specular highlights to shiny surfaces
- Dual Use
-
- Heat-resistant - may be used with strobes or hotlights
- Maximum wattage: X-Small - 500W, Small - 1000W, Medium - 2000W, Large - 3000W, X-Large - 4000W
HalfDomes
- Drama
- Formerly known as "StripDome", HalfDomes are useful as an edge light from the side, or a hair light when boomed overhead
Accessories
- Grids, Strips, Circle Masks
-
- Many (except X-Small and X-Large) accept these light-shaping devices that easily fasten to the front of the softbox
- Use a fabric grid to greatly limit the spread of the light
- Use strip and circle masks to change the shape of a reflection on your subject -- example: a circle mask will make a more natural catch light in a subject's eyes
Observação:Provide ample ventilation when using flash heads that have modeling lights. Do not use a modeling light higher than 300 watts with a LiteDome or MultiDome.

Comments about Photoflex SilverDome NXT, Medium Softbox , 24x32x17" (61x81x43cm):
I use this for lighting interviews and short films. I've set it up several times now but, the more I do it, the quicker I get. Read the directions to find the most efficient way to set it up.
I wouldn't recommend running a high watt bulb in it too long. I use a Lowel Tota with a 750W lamp and it started to smoke after 10 minutes. Luckily I found I only needed to run a 500W lamp so I think that'll help later on.
It does what it is supposed to and seems super durable!

Comments about Photoflex SilverDome NXT, Medium Softbox , 24x32x17" (61x81x43cm):
We use these softboxes on 800W Redhead open face lights. They have been generally good but after 4 years of regular use and abuse by students the foil started to flake away on the parts closest to the lamp head. We have since replaced all our softboxes with new ones and have noticed this part of the softbox has a different design now and seems to be more reinforced.
Factoring in their constant use on a very hot open face light, and replacement price it is reasonable to expect them to wear out. Hopefully the newer design lasts longer.
They are tricky to attach to the speed ring when new but once the spars bend a little they are easy to set up and pack down.

Comments about Photoflex SilverDome NXT, Medium Softbox , 24x32x17" (61x81x43cm):
Price to performance Photoflex does it again.
If you're used to the softboxes for flash only, expect a MUCH heavier unit. Thicker fabric and vents (open/close-able via velcro). AND the fact that the end of each stay (rod) velcros open for easier assembly and take down.
I have yet to use it very much, so no reliable wear rating at this point. BTW, this fits just fine into the ARRI 750 open face with the speed ring that comes with it (which is made to fit Chimera).

I ended up returning this and decided to buy a Rifa light instead because I wanted to use daylight, for a few hundred more than the silver dome + speed ring + halfblue gel. But it is a good softbox.

Comments about Photoflex SilverDome NXT, Medium Softbox , 24x32x17" (61x81x43cm):
My old flash-only medium-sized softbox was coming apart at the seams so I replaced it with this so I could also use it for video hotlights. This is a really nice softbox, especially at its price point. I can't see any reason why I'd want anything else. The fabric has a much stronger feel to it than the one that I replaced; it softens the light nicely without spilling out unwanted light; and I've used 700W hotlights in it for hours with no problem at all. For me it's perfect.
Pros
- Attach Securely
- Good Price
- Powerful
Cons
- Loose Frame Pegs

- Key for Faces
Comments about Photoflex SilverDome NXT, Medium Softbox , 24x32x17" (61x81x43cm):
I've used many different types of soft boxes over the years. Obviously, one of the best traits of any piece of equipment is durability. Although I think this box will last me a long time, I couldn't help to notice how easy the metal frame detaches from the peg. It's a small detail, but I think it's worth mentioning. Nonetheless, the box is what I expected from a soft box. It's one of the cheapest, if not the cheapest brand.

Over the last couple of years I have tried out several sources for my photographic equipment and have settled on B and H. They have been excellent to dea with. Regarding this soft box it worked out great and my photos are making me money. I had wanted a larer softbox to take stills and portraits. This works great. So far no negatives.very happy. Great [...] and product.

Comments about Photoflex SilverDome NXT, Medium Softbox , 24x32x17" (61x81x43cm):
The Silverdome gives a lovely soft light. It's pretty easy to use, but does require a bit of extra time to assemble and take apart at the end of the shoot. The first time I used it, I assembled it fine but it took me ages to figure out how to pull it apart again! Overall I would definitely recommend this product - it is a great addition to my lighting kit.

This is a great softbox, very comparable to Chimera but a lot less money. I use it with my Chimera Speedring and it works great. I love the idea of a replaceable front diffuser.
