Simple Addition, Big Difference in Light Control

By Bryce
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-01-29

The Westcott Deflector Plate for the Rapid Box is a game-changer. It softens and diffuses light beautifully, reducing hot spots and creating an even, flattering glow. The installation is quick and easy, and it adds even more versatility to my Rapid Box setup. A small but powerful accessory that makes a noticeable difference in portrait lighting!

Didn't notice a big difference.

I still see the reflection/glare on foreheads. Now, it's just a donut of a reflection. Not sure if this is worth purchasing.

question

I lost the bolt for this, can I buy just that?
Asked by: James
The screw is a 5mm, 0.8mm thread pitch (coarse), 10mm long threads. The head appears to be made to accommodate tightening with a coin. If you don't care about having the same head configuration a replacement could probably easily be found at a hardware store. Screw it in tight & leave it.

question

Without the bolt, what's the diameter of the hole in te middle? Would it fit in a 8mm shaft?
Asked by: Wirton
The center of the plate is a touch smaller than 8mm. And the plate is not designed to work with the softbox without the screw and bolt.

question

Does this plate fold with the octa box or does it need to be removed to pack?
Asked by: Alan J.
Yes, it needs to be removed. But, it is very quick and easy to do, and it stores in the pouch along with everything else.

question

I recently bought the rapid box and the reflector plate. I'm a little confused regarding the setup though. The picture on the B&H website has the reflector plate with the inside facing the flash while the Westcott website has it set up with the inside facing away from the flash (unfortunately I already removed the sticker on the reflector plate. Can anyone please help clarify? Thank you in advance!
Asked by: Michael K.
Thanks to everybody for the help to answer my question!

question

Hi team, I was just wondering what flash zoom would work better with deflector plate? Wide ie 24mm or something like 100mm, for better flash power output and filling up the whole rapid box with light. Thank you
Asked by: MIKHAIL I.
The deflector plate for me is a must to reflect the light, soften and expand it.

question

Will 2 Profoto A1's work with this...
Asked by: Kevin
This product is just the plate (I think), they'll likely work with the Rapid Box Duo but you'll have to get your ruler out and maybe contact Westcott. I can say however it's a top shelf piece of kit.
