Overview
The Godox Octa Softbox for ML100Bi expands the creative lighting capabilities of the compact ML100Bi by providing a large, soft light source with enhanced directional control. The rounded octagonal design produces more natural catchlights in the subject’s eyes, elevating the quality of portrait and talking-head footage while avoiding the harsher look of bare LEDs.
With efficient internal reflection and dual-layer diffusion, the softbox evenly spreads light to reduce shadows, flatten blemishes, and improve overall color and exposure uniformity. It offers a strong balance of softness and coverage without requiring a large footprint, making it an ideal modifier for home studios, smaller sets, and mobile productions.
Setup and breakdown are quick and intuitive, enabling lighting teams to adapt scenes rapidly — whether switching from dramatic spotlighting to soft cinematic key light or using it as fill for multi-light arrangements. Rugged yet lightweight construction ensures durability when traveling or working in dynamic shooting environments. For creators seeking professional softness with a portable ML system, this softbox is a valuable and versatile upgrade.
