The Godox 40x40cm Softbox Bag Kit is a compact and portable lighting solution for photographers. It is part of the same product family as the other Godox softbox kits (SGGV6060, SGUV6060, etc.), but designed for a smaller footprint. The key thing to note is that this kit is often sold with two different types of brackets to accommodate different lighting systems: a Bowens mount or an Elinchrom mount.
Key Features and Components
Softbox (40cm x 40cm / 15.7" x 15.7"): This is a small, square softbox that is highly portable and easy to set up. It's designed to provide soft, diffused light, making it suitable for headshots, small product photography, and as a hair or accent light in more complex setups. It comes with both an inner and outer diffusion baffle.
Bracket: The kit includes a bracket that acts as the interface between your flash and the softbox. Godox makes a few versions of this kit, which can vary based on the mount type:
S-Type Bowens Mount Bracket: This is the most common version. It's a universal and pre-assembled bracket that holds your speedlight (or a small off-camera flash like the AD200Pro) and allows you to attach a wide range of Bowens-mount accessories.
S-Type Elinchrom Mount Bracket: This version is specifically designed for photographers who use Elinchrom's lighting system. It allows you to attach Elinchrom-mount accessories to your speedlight.
Compatibility: The S-type bracket is a major selling point. It's designed to hold most brands of on-camera flashes, and some larger off-camera flashes. It holds the flash body securely without putting pressure on the hotshoe.
Portability: The softbox and bracket are both collapsible and fit into a compact carrying bag, making this kit an excellent choice for photographers who need a lightweight and mobile lighting setup.
