FOMITO QS35160 softbox strip 35 x 160cm
Product description
A strip softbox is a practical way to shape light for portraits, products, and general studio work, especially when you want smoother results than a bare LED. The FOMITO 14 x 63 Quick Release Strip Softbox, model QS35160, is built around that idea with a rectangular strip format and a Quick Release design to speed up setup during busy sessions. It also supports even light spread for more consistent illumination across your subject 📸.
If you are working with studio lighting that benefits from controlled direction, this softbox gives you a more flattering beam without turning every shoot into a major rigging job. It includes a honeycomb grid and diffusers, so you can adjust the softness and beam shape depending on whether you are photographing a product shot, a portrait, or something in between. Keep in mind it is described for use with GODOX SL60W LED lights, so matching your light head setup matters when planning your studio kit.
Key features
The FOMITO QS35160 is a rectangular strip softbox in a 35 x 160cm size, which helps you create a shaped, directional light source. The Quick Release folding design is intended to make it easier to set up and pack away, which is useful if you shoot on location or move gear between rooms. With softbox materials and included diffusers, you can aim for a smoother, more even look that is popular for portraits and controlled product lighting.
You also get a honeycomb grid, which can help manage spill and tighten the beam when you want more precision. That combination lets you move from a wider, softer spread to a more controlled output, without needing to swap multiple accessories every time. If your workflow involves both product and portrait sessions, this flexibility can reduce the friction of changing lighting setups between shots.
A further advantage is that the mount and overall design are presented as compatible with GODOX SL60W LED lights. When your light head and softbox are meant to work together, it is easier to focus on lighting choices rather than compatibility checks. The softbox is also described as lightweight and portable, which supports frequent use and easier transport for on-the-go shoots.

What you’ll notice day to day
In real shooting terms, a strip softbox changes the feel of your images by shaping how light hits your subject. For portraits, the long rectangular shape can help create a more flattering spread and a cleaner highlight pattern than a small light source. For product photography, the even distribution and adjustable beam control are useful when you want fewer harsh edges and more consistent coverage 🧩.
The quick folding design helps when you need to get from bag to stand faster, particularly if you are running multiple setups in a single day. You can also tailor the look using the included diffusers for softer output and the honeycomb grid when you want to reduce spill. If you prioritise speed during setup, this kind of Quick Release approach can make your workflow smoother without sacrificing the core purpose of soft shaping.
It makes sense if you already own studio LED lighting that matches the stated compatibility, and you want a versatile softbox that can be adapted for different shots. It may not suit you if your current lighting head does not match the described mounting and compatibility expectations, since the softbox is presented as being for GODOX SL60W LED lights. For photographers who want a portable studio-style light modifier for day-to-day work, this FOMITO softbox is a straightforward add to a kit that needs reliable shaping.
Who it’s for
This softbox is a strong match if you shoot portraits, product photography, or general studio lighting where controlled soft light matters. It is also a good fit if you are building a kit and want accessories that let you fine-tune beam shape with the grid and diffusers included. If you shoot regularly and value easier setup and packing, the Quick Release folding design can suit your routine.
Worth considering if you are aiming for more consistent light than a bare LED and you like having options for different lighting looks. It may not be the best choice if you need a different softbox style or if your light setup does not align with the stated compatibility for GODOX SL60W LED lights. For photographers who want a practical strip softbox for on-the-go shoots and studio work, the QS35160 offers a flexible, light shaping tool for everyday sessions.
