Ideal for weddings and portrait lighting, the Rapid Box Switch Octa-S with Round Head Insert & Deflector Plate from Westcott is a great asset for those working with off-camera flash photography. This kit of the 26" Octa-S includes a round head speedlight insert compatible with the Westcott FJ80 II/FJ80-SE, Profoto A1, and Godox V1 flashes. Westcott also supplies a reflective, all-metal deflector plate to give you a beauty dish-like effect. Also included is a collapsible 8' tall light stand that folds down to 2.3' for easy portability.
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.
Featuring all-metal construction and wide compatibility, the Switch Insert for FJ80, Profoto A1, A1X, A10, and Godox V1 Speedlights from Westcott rapidly and securely attaches these lights to your Rapid Box Switch softbox or Beauty Dish Switch Reflector.
The Westcott Deflector Plate is designed for use with the Rapid Box. You can change the output of light by installing this lightweight, all-metal, reflective plate. It easily fits into the Rapid Box carry case and is compatible with the Rapid Box Octa, Octa Mini, and Rapid Box Strip softboxes.
