Westcott Rapid Box Switch Octa-L

The Westcott 2523 Rapid Box Switch Octa-L 48inch Softbox is a convenient and collapsible octagonal light modifier with the fastest setup time. You can easily switch your light mount insert for compatibility with most off-camera flashes. The Quick Release thumb-lock ensures the security of your light, the durable metal framework and heat resistant fabrics allow for dependibility whilst the neutral diffusion fabric provides consistent colour temperature.

The Ideal Key Light

Octagonal modifiers are ideal for photographing people. Due to their round shape, Rapid Box Octa softboxes leave a natural, more appealing catch light in your subject’s eyes. These modifiers are a perfect key light for portraits.

The Softbox that Changes with You

The Rapid Box Switch is designed for use with the most popular strobes, speedlites, and monolights. With 13 interchangeable light mount inserts and 9 collapsible light modifiers, this is the premier softbox series that Switches with you. With 9 unique sizes and shapes and new 1x4, 2x3, and 3x4 options, it also has 13 quick-release interchangeable light mount options.

Designed for Portability

Constructed with solid aluminium umbrella-inspired framework, the design of the Rapid Box Switch maximises durability, minimises weight, eliminates the need for separate support rods, and makes setup a breeze. Everything is simple, quick, and compact. After your shoot, the Rapid Box Switch breaks down instantly into a sleek carry case for travel and storage.

An Ingenious Light Modifier

Pairing durable fabrics with a quick-collapse frame, our Rapid Box Switch softboxes offer the professional light modification that you’re looking for without the tedious setup. Our diffusion panels are constructed with an all-natural, unbleached nylon fabric. Unlike processed diffusion fabrics, these diffusers will soften your light source without altering its colour temperature. The optional Deflector Plate minimises hot spots and creates a stunning beauty-style light output. These plates are easy to use with all Rapid Box softboxes.

Rear Mounted Lights

We purposely designed the Rapid Box Switch with an external mount. By keeping your speedlight or strobe outside of the softbox, you can quickly access controls and utilise the line-of-sight (or optical wireless) functionality. Of course, radio triggers can be used as well. Switch Inserts attach your light source to any Rapid Box Switch light modifier in an instant. This durable all-metal adapter slides quickly into the rear tabs of your Rapid Box Switch and secures in place with the thumb-lock.
