Use this size for 3/4-length portraits of 1 or 2 people.

A Series 900 Speed Ring is required for mounting the OctoDome to your light, and is not included.

Quick Release Corners (QRC) relieve pressure on support rods for quick and easy softbox set up and breakdown
Use both the face and the baffle for the softest, most diffused light
Use the OctoDome without the face or baffle for a broad, high-contrast light
Using the included gold and silver panels results in a warmer, more natural image
OctoDome optional grids provide precise control of light

Photoflex OctoDome3 Reviews

Possible minor struggle constructing softbox on location.

By Steve
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2021-10-26

Quite large as one might suspect, takes some effort to put together, at least for the first time. Material flaps with velcro stips are well built, just a very tight fit when slipping poles into strobe ring, this might vary as I used a pro-photo ring which was very tight fit, having to push down the softbox with front facing the floor. You can appease this buy releasing the light poles velcro straps at the other end. Yet this might prevent the velcro strap to fit across the pole due to such extreme tension. Best to have high ceilings to get the best out of this large box. White outer face has stitching that runs across the top & bottom.

OCTODOME3...EXCELLENT PORTABLE SOFTBOX

TERRIFIC light source. Lightweight for easy travel. Putting the ribs into the octagon mount, the last two, takes some muscle...and getting the first two OUT is a real workout...but outside of that I would completely recommend this lightbox.
