Westcott Rapid Box Switch Reviews

Finally, A Lightbox That Doesn't Fall Of The Buff Einstein Flash Heads.

By Kim
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-11-10

Have Gone Through Multiple Disasters Attaching Light Boxes To Paul Buff's Einstein Flash Heads. The Springs Used To Hold The Boxes And Other Accessories Are Too Weak To Support Large Boxes. Until I Bought 3 Of These. Light Weight And Easy Set Up And Take Down.
