Godox ML-S1A Air Soft Tube
The Godox ML-S1A Air Soft Tube attaches to the ML100BI or ML100R LED light to create a cylindrical soft source. It suits portrait and product photographers who want wrap-around illumination with minimal shadow definition. The inflatable design keeps the modifier lightweight and quick to deploy on location or in the studio. It is not for shooters who need a collapsible fabric softbox or a rigid modifier that mounts without inflation.
Thermals noise and power draw
The soft tube adds no electronics, so it produces no fan noise and draws no additional power from the fixture. Its open-mesh diffusion fabric allows the ML100BI/R’s built-in cooling to operate unchanged during continuous output. The accessory itself remains passive, meaning thermal performance and acoustic profile stay exactly as the light manufacturer specifies. No extra power supply or cable routing is introduced by this modifier.
Bundled air pump and mounting
An included hand-operated air pump inflates the tube in seconds, removing the need for a separate compressor or mouth inflation. A dedicated speed-ring adapter secures the inflated cylinder to the ML100BI/R’s front accessory mount without tools. The pump and adapter store flat inside the supplied carry pouch, keeping the kit compact for transport. No additional gels, grids or colour filters are provided in the package.

Questions about this item
How do I attach the ML-S1A to my ML100BI or ML100R light head?
Slide the open end of the soft tube over the ML100BI or ML100R fixture and secure it with the built-in fastening strap; the common mistake is forgetting to tighten that strap before inflating, which lets the tube slip off under air pressure.
What part of the ML-S1A will need replacement after repeated location work?
The included air pump is the wear item — its seals and hose can degrade with frequent inflation cycles, so keep a spare pump in the kit for uninterrupted shoots.
At what point does the ML-S1A become unstable during a long session?
The tube relies on constant air pressure; if the valve leaks or the pump fails mid-shoot, the modifier deflates and loses its cylindrical shape, ending the soft-light effect.
