I don't understand why people are saying this doesn't come with grid. Amazon do show that it also comes with grid, you just need to search correctly, even if you hit the link that this guy mentioned in the description, you can see other options where it does come with the grid. Thank you so much Andrew, this video was very helpful, I bought these lights and they were so harsh on my face when I do my makeup videos. After several trials, I was thinking to buy different brand soft boxes but now I can easily get the soft box to put on top of these lights. Thank you!!!

[@angelocamba644]

I bought the softbox last month. There were no grid and no options to buy with the grid.

[@tombuck]

Nothing beats nice, soft diffused lighting. Love that these ones are relatively slim while still being effective 👍

[@boxiii]

Couldn’t agree more! Thanks for watching Tom!

[@thehealingfairee]

I really appreciate the level of detail you went in on installing the soft box!

[@boxiii]

Happy the video was helpful!

[@50450720]

You can get the same diffusion by cutting up a thin white sheet, and using clothes pegs to attach the sheet to the barn doors! Job done 👍

[@hatimkhalifa]

It is certainly a good addition to the light. I think a better result can be achieved using a translucent panel on stand because that way you enlarge the light source and get even a more pleasant even light with that of course portability is minimized but if circumstances allow it I will go for the translucent panel for the result and ability to use it with other light sources and different scenarios. But the softbox is definitely better than nothing

[@CoolProductsExpress]

absolutely brilliant review, I like the video!!! you are a brilliant presenter, not joking, very smooth. Thank you!!!

[@creativevit5961]

thanks. i found myself using these lights more often than Apurture 120D II given how good they are, portable and quick to set up

[@boxiii]

Wow that is really interesting to hear! I’m sure a lot of viewers are gonna love that insight. Thank you for sharing!

[@TheCreatureWorksStudio]

The only thing I hate about the soft box is the inability to tilt the light downward due to the stand getting in the way.

[@gilbeavers03]

Thanks for the video, I had the same issue with the NL660, I just ordered thru your link Thanks for sharing. I will be used primarily for video and product shots

[@blazinglicks]

thanks man.. i appreciate this... i thought I was doing something wrong with the 660's and I'm just starting to research hard/soft light a bit better... this $40 add on seems like a great choice now I already have two 660's! - cheers man

[@StrengthResurgence]

Thanks so much for the video! Super helpful and well put together. Been thinking about getting this and I think your video just sold me on it! Cheers.

[@WhitneyStylez]

This is such a great video! I love that you showed us how to install the diffuser and the with and without photos. 🙌🏽. I need new lights to create fashion and beauty content for my channel. After watching this I definitely feel like I should get the soft boxes because the lights may be too harsh without it. Thank you!!!

[@boxiii]

I’m so happy the video helped! Thanks for watching! Good luck with your channel!

[@kimberlystearns6275]

I’m seriously behind on watching videos but I’m finally here! Love the lighting! 💡

[@d.turner6872]

Hey this is a great and informative video! My 660's came with the soft boxes. I'm looking for the honey comb attachment. Everyone in the comments saying the web attachment is not included when you click on the link he attached. Amazon changed it I guess. However, I did find the soft boxes with the attachment. They cost a little more though ($57.99). You can copy and paste this link in Amazon to locate the lights or just type in the info below. Neewer Collapsible Softbox with Strap Attachment, Grid and Carrying Bag Compatible with Neewer 480/660/530 LED Light Panels, 9.25x8.27 inches Opening (Black+Red). Or just type Neewer Softbox Grid. I'm having a hard time finding the web/honeycomb grid only since I already have the soft boxes. If you know were I can purchase them...please let me know.

[@DarrenStephens1]

Exactly what I was looking for... thanks for the great, informative video!

[@boxiii]

So happy it was helpful!

[@GrowWithWill]

Wow. Huge difference. Would you invest in these over a cheaper umbrella?

[@emmanueldominguez2403]

Great video, I thinks that the lights were better without the diffusion for the products , but if it human skin that you are lighting; then i''ll go always for the diffuser.

[@boxiii]

That is great insight! For me, I think the diffuser does a good job separating the main subject from the background. However, depending on the environment I can totally see a case without the diffusion. Thanks for sharing!

[@brianr9420]

Is it possible to leave the barn doors on and still install the softbox? Great review, thank you.

[@jordenthe13thdisciple97]

Never knew the difference these things make thanks for the education

[@boxiii]

Of course! Glad you found value in my video! Thanks for watching!

[@roguefilms2846]

Hey, Man Amazing video! I just picked up the GVM kit on Amazon going to see how those are but I'm defiantly going to be looking for these diffusers Thanks!

[@chellyb3855]

Love the new intro!

[@boxiii]

I don’t think it’s gonna be permanent but thank you! 😅

[@raffdeleon]

Just got mine and can't wait to test it out.

[@boxiii]

Very cool! I’m sure you will love it! What are you filming?

[@raffdeleon]

Out Of The Box mukbang and some sneaker review. Also just sole general YT studio talking stuff haha

[@BeautyByBrigitte]

I am very new to KZbin I just uploaded 2 videos so far, So Thanks for sharing this with me, I've already purchases the Led Lighting System, now I am going to purchase the soft box ... I clicked on the link below, and the image on amazon does not look like it comes with the black net thingy you have displayed... I will order it anyway, and hope it's included - Thanks for sharing,

[@NormHamilton]

I'm curious. Have you done a video that shows real-world brightness of these panels? eg. How close to the subject at full power do they have to be? Can they be bounced off a ceiling, etc.?

[@truthunleashed5250]

What are the flaps on the neewer used for? I know that using the Godox you mount the box and use a honeycomb so that you only light the subject and not the background. Is this what the flaps are used for??? Thanks for your time.

[@garygohmusic]

Great review! Really deserve more views!

[@boxiii]

Thank you so much! I am so happy you enjoyed it.

[@Ira88881]

Strange, but these examples aren’t showing THAT much of a difference. I’ve seen comparisons where the difference is much starker. Could that honeycomb be making it a little harsher??? But... You kept saying Diffusion Panel...which is pre-installed in the Neewer...and I assume you left them in there. Shouldn’t your captions have said soft box? I have two 480s coming today (the RGB versions) with soft boxes, and I don’t think these boxes come with the honeycomb attachment. Tomorrow, I have two 660s coming, bi-color, which I’m just going to use to light my green screen, so no soft boxes for that.

[@allsaintsnecton6120]

Thanks for the video...helpful on how to put on soft box. However can you tilt the light down with the diffusion panel in place?

[@violamusik]

Thank you for your video.. I have the same lights and thibking about getting the same diffuser you show.. Amazing.. Definitely see a difference. I will subscribe to your channel..

[@boxiii]

Thank you so much for subscribing! I am so happy you found value in the video!

[@RastadasPT]

How do you direct the light up or down?

[@TheMaijicalKingdom]

Just got my Softboxes for my NL660s, and am set to do my first videos! Love your tip on putting the barn door screw back on the 660s! Nice that the lights already have cases where you can store the diffuser and barn foors! I also bought one for my fill light. My space is small with a large LG 43” monitor and anything to cut the glare down will be helpful! Any ideas? PS: The picture where your non diffused face shows a harsh line because of the hat, it also does so with the shadow of your neck! Also the corner of you mouth almost seems 2-3 micro shades of lighter black??? Learned a ton just from this video alone! Thanx!!!

[@stefanosernagiotto8103]

Awesome review! How can you tilt down the led panel With the softbox? Did u buy an umbrella adapter?

[@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker]

That's one thing annoying about these lights on the default stands that they are hard to til down, will probably have to get a different stand for them

[@Cinedon]

@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker Get a H mount to install inbetween your light and your stand and you’re good to go. That’s how I have mine setup.

[@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker]

@@Cinedon Thanks! I'll check out an H mount

[@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker]

@@Cinedon Any chance you could link to an example, having trouble to find what I think you are talking about

[@Cinedon]

@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker i linked it but for some reason my comments are not appearing. It’s a Tarion H type mount

[@WhirlOmar]

The link you provided for the soft box is not the same you in your video. It doesn't come with the egg crate to control light spill.

[@tb7141]

Did you use flash?

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

They are really hard to get now. I have been waiting for mine to be shipped for about 1 month. They should arrive in one week. Also, I already own the circular softbox for the 660. This one is also really nice, but since I have two 660's, I will have both options. I have been using an umbrella diffusor for my other 660, which works amazingly well. But it does cause a lot of light spill.

[@gordonderouyan9980]

What happens when you remove the standard diffuser on the light, then add the light box diffuser?

[@nandodolleman7819]

I just did, it also works great, for my purposes

[@picturelounge1334]

Good stuff.....Is it worth to spend money on this box? And what is that spider web which attaches in the front? Is that just to support or does it play any role in the lighting?

[@pgadeyne]

Would the NL660 with the softbox work for photographing a small group (4 people) full length?

[@franciscolinares8031]

Hi, there are two different products, one with the honeycomb and one without it. If it not on the picture and stated in the description, it is not included. God Bless!

[@ChrisBucanac]

Thats what I was wondering... Do you have a link for the ones with honeycomb? Appreciate it!

[@franciscolinares8031]

@@ChrisBucanac I think is this one. I buy from Mexico, but I searched in Amazon.com for you. This looks like the right one. Please ask the seller. God bless you! www.amazon.com/dp/B085PNPQ8X/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_fabc_ekO1FbZW8ZCMV

[@footmerc]

i cannot find this grid attachment anywhere online and the softbox does not come with it in the kit.

[@angelocamba644]

Me too. Did you find it anywhere?

[@pastorgregwalkup320]

my softbox did not come with the webbing for the front...\

[@jpozzoli]

Thanks for the video. You said yours came with the diffuser webbing stuff. It doesn’t state that in the description at Amazon. Was it a surprise when you opened the box?

[@franciscolinares8031]

Hi, there are two different products, one with the honeycomb and one without it. If it not on the picture and stated in the description, it is not included. God Bless!

[@JeffBourke]

It definitely needs the soft box BUT it didn’t make a huge difference. A shame they don’t make a larger soft box.

[@SianTube]

Hey man, you put something more of the diffusion on it, in french langage, we call that a honeycomb. Do you have the name of it or, better, the link of the one you use ? thank you a lot !!!

[@ThisBrownGeek]

Great video - but dude clean your damn controller thats gross.

[@JBduo]

First noti gang

[@boxiii]

Notification Squad!!

[@footmerc]

i've done some research and it looks like this softbox grid panel attachment no longer exists so this video doesn't really help anyone.
