This Broncolor Octabox is an octagonal-shaped softbox with a diameter of 150 cm (59.1"). The Octabox diffuses and softens the light from a strobe unit. It also produces rounded catchlights excellent for portrait photography.
Included with this softbox are 8 rods for constructing and attaching the box to a light with an optional speedring. Also, it comes with a front diffusion panel, an interior baffle, and a transport bag for storage.

Much smoother soft light across the entire 5 ft. surface compared to umbrellas with diffusers. Used with Profoto flat front lights, the internal baffle with extra center layer really works great. I leave the internal baffle and front diffuser in place all the time as instructed by Urs Recher from Broncolor to save time with no detriment to performance or longevity. The trick to disassembly for me is to start with speedring side down, diffuse up. Pull back one corner of the diffuser and unhook one inner baffle snap. Then reach in with both hands and push two opposing rods down to the floor to flatten them at the speedring. Then pull apart the flattened rods from the speedring (they separate much easier when horizontal). The folded Octobox in its case fits nicely in my SKB checked luggage case along with light stands, etc. for air travel. Beside providing beautiful light, the whole system is robust and should last a lifetime.
Build quality incredible, like quality superb.
