Westcott Rapid Box Switch Octa-S Softbox (26")

As the name "Switch" hints, Westcott has introduced a line of softboxes designed for setup and rapid swapping out of different brands of strobes and speedlights in seconds. The 26" Rapid Box Switch Octa-S Softbox is a good choice for use in the studio or on location for portraits, fashion, or corporate work. The large surface area of the softbox gives its output a wraparound quality especially when used close up. Another benefit is the reflection of natural-looking catchlights in your subject's eyes. As indicated in the name, the softbox has a basic ring to hold it together, but instead of full speed rings, 13 "inserts" are available and are required for a speedlight or specific brand of strobe. The quick release thumb-lock on the Rapid Box Switch ensures the security of your light. Besides the benefit of speed, the softbox is structurally sound with durable metal framework, heat-resistant fabric, and a reflective silver interior that maximizes your light source's output. The Rapid Box Switch Octa's diffusion material has also been thoroughly tested and found to be neutral, ensuring a true rendition of color. A carry case is included for storage and transport.

Westcott Rapid Box Switch Octa Reviews

Solid build.

By Rick
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2026-05-18

The switch is built solid. I only gave 4 stars because the reflector plate is not included and there is a definite hot spot without it. Also, although I don't have any previous experience with Bowens mounts, i found the insert adapter for Bowens a bit loose (sloppy). This is based on the fit of the Godox 400 reflector to the 400 strobe vs the Westcott switch adapter mounted to the Godox 400.But overall a nice product. Note: I also have the Octa 24 (before they made the Switch). It did come with a reflector plate.

Great Products

The Westcott Rapid Box Switch Octa-L as well as the rest of the product line is simply outstanding. They set up so quickly and perform so well. A great product.
