You can now get quality softbox lighting from your battery portable flash system. Designed for Norman LH2 and LH52 portable heads, the 12 inch square SSB12-BP softbox can also be used on most Quantum Q Flash and Lumedyne lampheads.

Much like the Norman Studio Softbox design, this unit "pops-up" like an umbrella. No loose parts or assembly required, except for the removable front diffusion panel that attaches easily.

No speed ring adapter is required. Each Softbox attaches to the lamphead like a standard reflector. On Norman lampheads, just position over the flashtube and tighten the reflector locking screw.
Size 12 x 12" (30 x 30 cm)
Shape Square
Compatibility Strobe only
Removable Front Face Yes
Removable Interior Baffle No
Accepts Grids No
Required Speed Ring Included for Norman LH2, LH52 heads

        i use this with my Lumedyne lights and it's perfect. It fits into the light, just as the snoot would. It's easy to fold up and re-assemble. Seems pretty durable.

        I'm torn on this one. Yes its a softbox and yes it fits the 200C strobe head. In doing one well, it does the other poorly. If you have to have a softbox, buy a real, full size box and save your money. Jury's still out...

            I use this softbox interchangeably--on an LH2 in the studio for a hairlight, and on camera (with a bracket) as a flash diffuser (fits my Sunpak 120j). It also works well off camera as an on location main light (again, with the 120j). The softbox is "easy up and easy down" and sturdy enough to last a long time if you don't sit on it or try to walk through walls with it.

              Really easy to take anywhere! It's pretty small but cranks out a nice even light. It's size makes it very portable. We used it to front light a family of seven adults with strong backlighting this weekend with excellent results. The mount works very well and stays put on the strobe head.
