Godox 13 x 63 in Strip Beehive Grid Softbox - Controlled Studio Light

In this review of the Godox 13 x 63 in strip beehive softbox, the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, affordable modifier for portrait, product and rim lighting where controlled, even illumination matters. The reviewer found the softbox diffuses strobe output effectively thanks to two inner cloth layers and a honeycomb grid that reduces spill; assembly and a separate Bowens-compatible speedring make it a useful addition for studios that already use Bowens mount heads. This kit of two strip softboxes and carrying bags targets shooters who want narrow, usable light without complex setup.

Key Features

• Strip shape: the 13 x 63 in form creates a long, narrow catchlight and a controlled light beam ideal for hair, rim and product edges.
• Double-layer diffusion: two layers of soft cloth inside the softbox deliver softer, more even illumination and reduce hot spots from a single strobe.
• Honeycomb grid: the beehive grid tightens light coverage and prevents unwanted spill for precise directional control.
• Bowens-compatible speedring: fits any studio lamp with a Bowens mount or works with a Bowens adapter, so it integrates with common strobe heads.
• Durable build: professional reflective fabric and a hard skeleton maintain shape and reliable light quality during repeated studio use.
• Portable kit: the softbox and separate speedring fold into two carry bags for easier transport and storage.

Who It's For

The Godox strip beehive softbox is aimed at photographers and videographers who need a narrow, controllable light source for portraits, product shots, rim lighting, and small set work. Studio owners who already use Bowens-mount flashes will find it especially convenient because the speedring integrates directly without extra adapters.

It is less suitable for shooters who need very large soft light or those exclusively using non-Bowens mount heads without an adapter. If you require a softbox that folds like an umbrella for very fast on-location setups, this hard-skeleton model will feel more like studio gear than casual pop-up modifiers.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Produces even, gentle light thanks to dual diffusion layers that reduce harsh highlights.
• Honeycomb grid gives reliable control over spill and tightens the light footprint for precision work.
• Bowens-compatible speedring makes the softbox compatible with a wide range of studio flashes.
• Sturdy skeleton and professional reflective fabric keep the shape consistent in use.

Cons

• Does not fold down like umbrella softboxes, so it feels less convenient for fast on-location changes.
• Requires a Bowens mount or adapter, adding cost if the user's heads use a different mount.

Our Verdict

The Godox 13 x 63 in strip beehive softbox is a solid value for photographers who need narrow, well-controlled soft light in the studio. Its double diffusion and honeycomb grid produce clean, even illumination and the Bowens-compatible speedring ensures broad compatibility. It is best for controlled portrait, rim and product work rather than quick-fold on-location use, but for studio setups it offers dependable performance at a modest cost.
