SNAP 2x3 Rectangular Softbox
Lighting should be a SNAP.
BY POPULAR DEMAND: the SNAP 2'x3' gridded rectangular softbox.
Summary The SNAP 2'x3' rectangular softbox is a quick-setup, Bowens-mount modifier designed to deliver punchy, directional light via a parabolic shape and high-reflective silver interior. Two removable diffusion layers, an included fabric grid, and a beauty dish deflector provide flexible control from soft to focused light. Compact when folded and easy to deploy, it’s ideal for headshots, hairlights, and product work, and comes with a carrying bag and one-year MoLight warranty.
If your lighting could use a little punch then a SNAP softbox could be your answer. SNAP softboxes are designed to be a snap to use—an easy open softbox that's quick to set up and take down—but more importantly they provide a little extra snap to your lighting. The parabolic design plus the high reflective silver interior combine to keep your light rays moving in a straight line. Then, our specially-designed two layers of diffusion fabric scatter the rays just enough to knock down some specularity but not so much that you lose the nice punchy snap that these softboxes provide. Need more snap? Remove one or both diffusion layers—it's a snap with the quick Velcro tabs. Need to focus the light more? Use the included grid. Need to knock down the center more? Use the included beauty dish deflector plate. So much versatility in one softbox!
It's a snap to setup and use.
Perfect for headshots, hairlights, products, or anywhere you need a medium-size softbox. To expand the softbox just slide the center catch down the short center post until it catches. Done! Simple and easy...a complete snap! The folded package travels like a small softbox without sacrificing output.
It's a complete package.
As mentioned before, your SNAP softbox includes the grid at no extra charge. Plus, we kick in a nice carrying bag so you can easily take your SNAP on location.
It's time you take your lighting up a notch...make it a SNAP!
Warning: SNAP softboxes have no association with Thanos, the Avengers or the Marvel Universe. Your SNAP cannot be used for instant population reduction. Do not use your SNAP and then say "Oh, SNAP!" because that can get annoying.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What kind of light does the SNAP 2'x3' rectangular softbox produce?
Short answer: It delivers punchy, directional light with controlled softness. The parabolic shape and high-reflective silver interior keep light traveling in a straight line for extra “snap,” while two removable diffusion layers tame specularity without killing contrast. Add the included fabric grid to further tighten the beam, or use the beauty dish deflector plate to reduce the hot spot at center.
Question: How quick is setup and how does it fold down?
Short answer: Setup is a snap—slide the center catch down the short center post until it clicks and you’re ready to shoot. It collapses just as easily and travels compactly, folding down to a small package so you don’t sacrifice portability or output.
Question: What’s included in the box and is there a warranty?
Short answer: You get the softbox, two diffusion panels, a fabric grid, a beauty dish deflector plate, and a carrying case—no add-ons required. It also includes a one-year MoLight warranty against defects.
Question: Will it fit my light?
Short answer: The SNAP uses a Bowens mount and is compatible with most Bowens softbox accessories. If your strobe or continuous light uses a Bowens S-type mount (or you have an adapter), you’re good to go.
Question: How big and heavy is the 2'x3' version, and what is it best for?
Short answer: For the 2'x3' size (listed as “2'x3' Strip” in the specs), it packs to about 28"x8", opens to roughly 36" long x 12" wide x 15" deep, and weighs about 3.8 lb. It’s ideal for headshots, hairlights, and product photography where a medium-sized, controllable source shines.
