GODOX LM-S25 Octa Softbox for Godox Lux Master Retro Camera Flash

Excellent hand held light!!! Well made.

I bought this Godox Flash and I can't be happier! It's just wow! You just look at the image quality! Highly Recommend!

This little softbox has generally been perfect for me. Before COVID I used to do a lot portrait photography, but since then and adapting to a work from home lifestyle, I don't get out nearly as much and have far less opportunity to do so. I've generally switched to taking photos of my collectibles. Softbox wise, this small softbox is basically proportional to using a larger 32 inch softbox on a human when I'm photographing one of my dolls. It allows me to have a very portable main light kit for the type of photos I'm taking and for that, I love it. Where it loses a star for me is only that it doesn't seem to attach as easily or as well as the dish reflector that comes with the Lux Master by default. Aside from that I really can't find anything else to complain about.

It's designed for the Godox Lux Master Retro flash and does fit. Couple things, though. First off, the point of a softbox is to diffuse and soften the light. But because this one is still a relatively small light source, your light it still going to be on the harder side. Yes, it softens, but it's a cumbersome method given its relatively small size. Secondly, to open it up, you have to use the center screw to tighten and hold the umbrella arms in place. Given the tightness and pressure, good luck with that. On a flash. Definitely do not attempt this with the flash on your camera. So, small size (limited softening) and hassle assembly makes this a pass for me. The only reason to own this is if you own that specific flash, and you have $25 you need to burn.

I wanted to get on here and help some others out. I like the product but it didn't have any instructions and I struggled for 10 minutes before I figured out the easiest way to install it. What worked best for me is NOT expanding the softbox, but instead guiding the collapsed umbrella into the socket and then twisting. THEN opening it and doing the rest. Dont forget to pop your bulb out after! Hope this helps.

Not the best build as it's difficult to secure to the flash. Afraid it's going to smash the bulb when it does accidentally fall off.

Well, it is a must-have if you enjoy your Godox LuxMaster Retro Camer Flash. It's well-built, very lightweight, and easy to carry. However, the installation could be more fun. It uses a threaded knob to open up the umbrella, and due to the hard tension, it's tough to assemble. Also, be careful about the icon wire around the corner! (pic #3)

Me parece genial, lo único que le falta es que pueda ser usado como luz de modelado.

I recently added the GODOX LM-S25 Octa Softbox to my lighting setup, and it has made a noticeable difference in the quality of my photos. Designed specifically for the Godox Lux Master Retro Camera Flash, this softbox provides a soft, diffused light that eliminates harsh shadows, creating a more flattering and professional look for portraits and product photography. The 25-inch octagonal shape helps create a natural catchlight in the eyes, adding a beautiful and even light distribution that I couldn’t achieve with smaller, less efficient modifiers. The construction of the softbox is solid, and it’s lightweight enough to be easily handled and set up. I appreciate the sturdy build, especially considering how portable it is—it's perfect for on-the-go shoots or studio sessions. The softbox is also incredibly easy to assemble and disassemble, which is a huge time-saver during shoots. The light output when paired with the Godox Lux Master flash is soft but powerful, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. Overall, the GODOX LM-S25 Octa Softbox has greatly improved my lighting setup, offering exceptional diffusion and enhancing the overall quality of my images. It’s a must-have for any photographer looking to create soft, even lighting with their Godox Lux Master Retro flash. The build quality, ease of use, and professional-level results make this softbox a fantastic addition to my gear collection, and I would highly recommend it to photographers looking for a reliable and efficient lighting modifier.

This softbox is lightweight, portable, and designed for the Godox Lux Master Retro Flash. While it effectively softens light, its small size limits full diffusion. Installation can be tricky due to the tensioned umbrella arms and threaded knob, so take care when assembling. It’s functional but could benefit from an easier setup process.
