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 Kit Reviews

no headline as I can't use it

By rhonda

Date: 2022-02-09

Everything looks like it would be really nice. But I can't hook my speedlights to it. The silver piece that hooks to the softbox was missing, or it may have not been included. I ordered the parts today, hopefully, I'll be able to use it this weekend. (I received the part that you hook up to the lightstand and can attached the speedlight, but not the part that attaches to the soft box.

Great value

Want to confirm, does this utilize the switch system so I can use a bowens flash head on them? I know they say switch but don't see it mentioned int he description at all.
Asked by: Ryan
That is correct. This unit ships with the Speedlite inserts, however you can change to a Bowens mount, or any other Switch insert.
