A Clean White Background, Lit From Within
The Strobepro 5x7 Illuminated Background Softbox is a stand-mounted white background that you light from the inside. A Godox strobe on each side fires straight into the box, and the attached white diffusion front glows evenly behind your subject, so you get a clean white background without aiming extra lights at a backdrop. It’s a fast, repeatable setup for passport photos and volume photography. Flip it around and the black side works as a backdrop too.

Key Features
Even White Light From Two Strobes
Instead of lighting a paper or fabric backdrop from the front, you light the softbox from inside with one strobe on each side. The light fills the silver interior and comes through the built-in white diffusion front as one bright, even surface. Set the brightness with your strobes’ power.
Simple Side Setup
Each side has a mounting frame with crossbars, a port flap and an accessory mount (standard spigot with 1/4" female thread). Mount each strobe facing straight into the side port. Any Godox strobe works, and a Godox AD-R6 7" reflector is not required. The product photos show a Godox AD200 firing into the port with a bare head. On Bowens-mount strobes such as the Godox MS300V, an AD-R6 is optional if you want one. Strobes are sold separately.
Made for Passport and Volume Photography
Once it’s set up, the background looks the same from one shot to the next. That makes it a great fit for passport and ID photos, school and staff portraits, headshots and other volume work where every image needs the same clean white background.
White or Black Background
One side is the lit white background. Turn it around and the black side gives you a black backdrop for low-key portraits.
Mounts on Two Light Stands
Two grip heads, one on each side frame, accept standard spigots or baby pins, so the softbox mounts on two light stands. The grip heads clamp onto the side frames, so you can stand the background upright, tilt the whole softbox forward or back, or turn it to horizontal, as shown in the product photos.
Folds Down for Transport
The softbox folds down and packs into its included carry bag for storage and for taking it to schools, offices and other on-site sessions.
A Large Background — Check Your Room Size
This is a large background, about 204.5 cm (80.5 in) tall when set up upright, so make sure your room and ceiling height leave space for it on stands.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many strobes does the Strobepro 5x7 Illuminated Background Softbox need?
Two, one on each side. Any Godox strobe works, and we recommend 200Ws or more, such as the Godox MS300V. The product photos show a Godox AD200 firing into the side port with a bare head. An AD-R6 reflector is not required.
How many light stands does the 5x7 Illuminated Background Softbox need, and can it go horizontal?
Two. The softbox has a grip head on each side that accepts standard spigots or baby pins, so it mounts on two light stands. You can stand it upright, tilt it forward or back, or turn it to horizontal, as shown in the product photos. Stands are sold separately. We recommend the Strobepro 10' Air Cushion Light Stand.
Is the 5x7 Illuminated Background Softbox good for passport photos?
Yes. It gives you a plain, evenly lit white background behind your subject, which is what passport and ID photos call for. Because the setup stays the same from shot to shot, it’s also a good fit for school portraits, headshots and other volume photography.
What’s not included with the 5x7 Illuminated Background Softbox?
Strobes and light stands are sold separately. You’ll need two of each, one per side. The softbox comes with its attached front diffusion, the mounting structure, two grip heads, two accessory mounts and a carry bag.
What’s the difference between the 5x7 Illuminated Background Softbox and the 5x7 Flexout Backdrop?
This softbox is lit from the inside by two strobes, so the white front glows evenly without aiming extra lights at a backdrop. The 5x7 Flexout Backdrop (White / Black) is a portable pop-out backdrop on its own frame, lit from the front like a regular backdrop. Both are 5x7 with a white side and a black side.
What warranty does the 5x7 Illuminated Background Softbox have?
It includes our 1-Year Strobepro Warranty, and we handle warranty support directly from our Calgary team. If you have a problem, see warranty details or request service.
