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 15 interchangeable light mount inserts and 12 collapsible light modifiers, this is the premier softbox series that Switches with you.
1. Choose your Switch modifier
Unique sizes and shapes with 1x4, 2x3, 3x3, and 3x4 options
2. Choose your Switch Insert
Quick-release interchangeable light mount options
Designed for Portability
Constructed with solid aluminum umbrella-inspired framework, the design of the Rapid Box Switch maximizes durability, minimizes 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.
The Must-Have Accessory
The optional Deflector Plate minimizes 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 utilize the line-of-sight (or optical wireless) functionality. Of course, radio triggers can be used as well.
Heavy-Duty Mounts for the Most Popular Lights
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.

I am used to using softboxes that require a more lengthy set-up process, so I was amazed at how quickly I could get these ready. They open and close like an umbrella, and connect easily to the strobes, and the softness and spread of the light is lovely and pretty close to my more traditional soft boxes like the Plume Wafer. Great for location shoots where you don't have a lot of set up time!

Fantastic product from westcott, as would be expected. Came quickly and I’m very happy. This is one of my main modifiers now.
