Angler Silverbox Overview

The 18" Angler 7262-S-18 Silverbox Octagonal Softbox is a highly versatile light-shaping tool designed for use with for strobes, LEDs, and fluorescent lights.

This extra-small softbox allows photographers to place it where larger softboxes can't go for small object photography or for hair or accent lighting in fashion and portraiture. Its deep design gives the Silverbox longer, more directional throw than shallower softboxes of this size while retaining wrap-around light qualities and rendering natural-looking catchlights in the subject's eyes. The softbox features a textured silver interior for maximum output and a removable front diffuser. Removing it converts the softbox into a deep, long throw reflector with high brightness and contrast.

The octagonal Silverbox has an additional control via a fabric grid (available separately) which mounts to the recessed lip of the softbox with touch-fasteners. The grid narrows and concentrates the light's beam forward, controlling spill light and adding directional control to the Silverbox's attributes. Every Silverbox comes with a carrying case. Separate purchase of a speedring that matches your strobe's mount is required for use.

Note:
Speed Ring not included, and must be ordered separately

Angler Silverbox Reviews

Awesome for backlight!

This Soft Box is just what I wanted. It does everything from using your typical COB LEDs to withstand HOT halogen lights [UP TO] 500 watts, in case I wanted to run a hot light such as my Chimera Triolet (BH sells that as well). ARRI lights will work as well as long as you have the speed ring for it but won’t be as effective inside ANY softbox. For the best results, running hot lights, I’d recommend a light that accepts “tube like”Mogul base bulbs as it will shine 360.o all around, reflecting the light very evenly on that silver finish. An ARRI light will just pierce through the back, since the bulb is inside the fixture and not protruding outside it, thus being less effective. This softbox is DEEP and that will allow you to use a Mogul halogen bulb safely without damaging the internal diffuser, which the internal diffuser is located far enough from where the speed ring is. Perfect. Now, using a COB chip LED Monolight, since most are 120.o angle, it will reflect all over inside the softbox which is what you want. I’m using this softbox primarily as a backlight on the subject on a green screen as it will reduce “green spill” coming from the green screen. Another great use is for hair light and WITH a grid, (sold separately) will provide even more lighting control. The link for that grid is https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/904245-REG or, B&H#IMLBGOXS  This softbox, for being a deep one, which I love, BUT... it can be a little tricky to install on a speed ring as the rods will tend to come off easily. I’m a very experienced person dealing with soft boxes with traditional speed rings. The solution for this is to install just a little bit of a double-sided carpet tape. The brand is “ShurTape” and use this brand ONLY. I made a full detailed video review on YouTube specifically for Angler, including this model and Impact soft boxes and I explained there how to make these rods not to come off, AND, how to setup ANY type of softbox and any type of speed ring. Usually, I see many folks out there with enormous difficulty setting up traditional speed rings. After you watch the video, after learning, you’ll see it’s actually FUN to set these up! Here’s the link: https://youtu.be/tVbP-RQkon8 Very pleased with this softbox for being a deep type and also so versatile. [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review]

Great Softbox for Low-Key Headshots

This is a great soft octabox for low-key headshots where you don't want a ton of light spilling into the background onto the subject. This does require a Speed Ring, so do not forget to add that to your cart or you will be disappointed when it arrives and can't use it.
