The Godox SGGV8080 is a lighting kit designed for photographers who need a larger, more powerful, and controlled light source on-location or in the studio. It's essentially an upsized version of the SGGV6060, providing a larger softbox for a softer, more enveloping light.
Key Features and Components
Softbox (80cm x 80cm / 31.5" x 31.5"): The most significant feature of this kit is its large softbox. The bigger size produces a softer, more flattering light that is ideal for full-body portraits, larger product shots, and fashion photography. The softbox is collapsible for easy transport and includes a silver interior for maximum light output, as well as inner and outer diffusion panels to soften the light.
Honeycomb Grid: Like the SGGV6060, this kit includes a honeycomb grid that attaches to the front of the softbox with Velcro. The grid is a crucial tool for controlling light spill and adding a directional, more dramatic quality to your lighting. It helps to isolate your subject from the background and create a focused beam of light.
S2 Bowens Mount Bracket: This is the core of the system. The S2 bracket is known for its universal compatibility and ease of use.
Universal Flash Compatibility: It can securely hold most brands of speedlights, including Godox's own V1, V860, and TT series flashes. It also has a removable block that allows it to mount larger off-camera flashes like the Godox AD200Pro, AD300Pro, and AD400Pro.
Bowens Mount: The front of the bracket has a Bowens-compatible speed ring, which means you can attach a wide variety of Bowens-mount accessories like reflectors, snoots, and beauty dishes, greatly expanding the kit's versatility.
Tilting Function: The bracket features a stepless tilting mechanism for precise control over the direction of your light, along with an umbrella mount at the bottom.
Carrying Bag: A compact carrying bag is included to hold all the components, making the kit highly portable for photographers who work on location.
