Softbox

Abstract

This invention is a softbox, comprising a base and a softbox body. The base can be attached to a camera lens, and the softbox body to the base. During shooting, the light from the flash ring is transmitted twice through the first and second light-transmitting sections of the softbox body to soften the light. This double-light-softening technique achieves a more even and softer lighting effect during shooting.

Claims

1. A softbox, comprising: a base including a first connector, a second connector, and a first image channel, the first connector being disposed at one end of the base, the second connector being disposed at the other end of the base, the first image channel being disposed at the center of the base and communicating with the first connector and the second connector; and a softbox body removably disposed on the base, the softbox body including a mating portion, a first light-transmitting portion, a second light-transmitting portion, and a second image channel, the mating portion being disposed at one end of the softbox body and removably connected to the second connector, the first light-transmitting portion being disposed within the softbox body and adjacent to the mating portion, the second light-transmitting portion being disposed within the softbox body and corresponding to the first light-transmitting portion, the second image channel being disposed at the center of the softbox body and communicating with the first light-transmitting portion, the second light-transmitting portion, and the first image channel.

2. The diffuser as described in claim 1, wherein the first assembly is attached to a camera lens by means of a socket, a snap-fit, a locking, or a magnetic attachment, and the first image channel is aligned with the lens.

3. The diffuser as described in claim 1, wherein the second assembly is joined to the assembly by means of a sleeve, a snap-fit, a locking, or a magnetic attraction.

4. The diffuser as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second set of connectors has a plurality of magnetic adsorbents, the connecting portion has a corresponding magnetic adsorbent, and the connecting portion is removably attached to each magnetic adsorbent of the second set of connectors by each corresponding magnetic adsorbent.

5. The diffuser as described in claim 1, wherein the first light-transmitting portion is planar.

6. The diffuser as described in claim 1, wherein the second light-transmitting portion is curved.

7. The softbox as described in claim 1, further comprising a light control module removably disposed in the second image channel, the first light-transmitting portion and the second light-transmitting portion.

8. The softbox as described in claim 7, wherein the light control module includes a light-shielding collar, a first light-shielding plate, and a second light-shielding plate, the light-shielding collar is removably disposed in the second image channel, and the light-shielding collar is located at the inner edge of the first light-transmitting portion and the inner edge of the second light-transmitting portion, the first light-shielding plate and the second light-shielding plate are removably disposed at the inner edge of the light-shielding collar, and the first light-shielding plate and the second light-shielding plate cover a portion of the second light-transmitting portion.

9. The diffuser as described in claim 8, wherein the light-shielding collar, the first light-shielding plate, and the second light-shielding plate are joined to the light-shielding collar by means of sleeve connection, fastening connection, locking connection, or magnetic attraction.
