SMDV Honeycomb Grid 170mm For BR 170

SMDV Honeycomb Grid 170mm For BR 170 | Keep light more focused

The 170 mm honeycomb format is the defining choice: this grid is made for the SMDV BR 170, rather than being a generic grid size. A honeycomb grid is used to narrow the spread of light, giving you more control over where it falls. That makes this accessory relevant when you want a more contained pool of light from your BR 170, such as when lighting a subject without spreading light as broadly across the scene. It suits photographers who already work with the BR 170 and want to shape its output with a grid. The appeal is straightforward: it gives you a grid in the stated 170 mm format for that specific softbox. There’s no need to treat it as a general-purpose lighting accessory; its value is in that defined pairing and the more directed light a grid is intended to produce.

What a honeycomb grid changes

A grid adds direction to a light source by limiting how widely the light spreads. In practical terms, that can help when you want illumination to stay closer to a chosen area instead of washing across nearby parts of the frame. It’s a simple way to make the light feel more controlled, though the exact result depends on your setup and subject. This product is identified as a honeycomb grid, so its role is clear: it’s for shaping light, not for changing the size of the BR 170 or acting as a separate light source.

Choosing it for your setup

Keep the model name in mind when selecting this accessory. The title specifies the BR 170, so the useful question is whether that’s the softbox you use. If it is, this grid gives you a focused-light option within that setup. If you’re comparing lighting accessories, consider the kind of spread you want: a grid is suited to a more directed result, while an open softbox is generally used for broader light. The honest trade-off is that a tighter spread gives you less coverage, so it’s best when you want to control the illuminated area rather than light a wide scene.
