Softbox for my nooklite at DVinfo.net

Noah Posnick · April 12th, 2004, 04:11 PM

I have a mole-richardson 1k nooklite with complete barndoor set which gives a nice, even, broad throw. I'd like to purchase a cheap softbox for it, but I'd like to know everyone's recomendations. Chimera is out of my price range. I'm thinking about something from JTL since everyone seems to like the 3 piece softbox kit, or possibly something from photoflex. Which box would be best for me and what do i need to attach it to this light?

I'm liking the build integrity and light quality of my recently purchased Photoflex. Here's their site to look at: http://www.photoflex.com/photoflex/index.html

You probably need a ring for the nooklight and the soft box. Read carefully as some of the softboxes are for strobes and not hotlights. If I had a nook or a tota I would have used that with my light. But I purchased the location kit instead which I think is a real bargain for the money. Here's a link to the B&H site: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=280002&is=REG
Hope this helps...no affiliation with anyone.

thanks for the info, but how do I know which ring I need?

Somewhere on the Photoflex site they have ring ID numbers for the light with which you wish to use it. Or call them with your light specs ie: is it a Mole nook light or a colortran? and so forth...
