Angler FastBox Octagonal Softbox (20")
Key Features
  • For On-Camera Flash Units
  • Silver Interior
  • Quick Setup
  • Inner Baffle, Front Diffuser
The FastBox Octagonal Softbox from Angler is a 20" octagonal softbox designed to set up and collapse in a fraction of the time it takes to set up a standard softbox. With a single motion, it expands to snap and lock into a classic octagonal shape, favored by fashion and portrait photographers for even lighting and round catchlights in your subject's eyes. The silver interior amplifies the output from an on-camera flash, and the inner and outer diffusers create an even beam without hot spots. The FastBox has an adjustable 120° angle and features a twist lock stand adapter that can be attached to any standard 5/8" stud.

The FastBox has an adjustable 120° angle and features a twist lock stand adapter that can be attached to any standard 5/8" stud.

Is there a grid for the 20” Fastbox? It has the velcro for one but I don’t see the item.
Asked by: Phillip
Unfortunately, the smallest size that has a compatible grid is the Angler FastBox Octagonal Softbox (24"). There is no 20" grid for the Angler FastBox Octagonal Softbox (20").

Would this work with the Inkee GC60 Video Light?
Asked by: Saul
No, the Angler FastBox Octagonal Softbox (20") will not work with the Inkee GC60 Video Light. The Angler FastBox uses a magnetic system where as the Inkee GC60 LED Monolight uses a Bowens mount.
