Was looking for a octabox for my XPLOR600, this handled all my tasks whether it was shooting in windy conditions, studio environments, or with a heavy sun. Really pleased with the purchase and the speedy delivery and processing through my Adorama VIP360 membership.

I photograph upwards of 40 weddings a year and hundreds of portrait sessions throughout the year. This is a well constructed light modifier to take anywhere.

This is a must buy product from Westcott. It is beautifully made, durable and simple to setup. Also travel friendly in this size.

I love this softbox. Perfect size for my FlashPoint AD600. Beautiful light quality. Easy set-up. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat!

Got this for outside use because I needed something softer as my 16 to 28 inch beauty dishes were just a bit to harsh. This offered my client some simply wonderful, soft photos in full sun and shade outside this past fall. Used with XPLOR 600.

Very well designed and constructed. Very easy to use and take with you on location. My first Westcott, but there will be more.

Light gently hugging the curves of a face, highlighting the positive and minimizing the less than perfect. Easy to set up and feels like a solid build quality. All fantastic qualities in a light modifier. And this possesses them.

Truly amazing box.. I use mine with the Xplor 600 TTL. 1 compliment, I just wish it came with the metal Beauty Dish attachment. Other then that, fast setup for most jobs.

High quality - cannot go wrong with Wescott products. Excellent fit and finish. Solid feel and professional in appearance. The deflector plate is a nice add-on to create a beauty dish but reduces the quick set advantage somewhat since it needs to be screwed on and then unscrewed to collapse the soft box.

I've bought 2 of these now and I absolutely love the ease of setup. It takes no time to get it open and ready to shoot in less than 60 seconds for me. My only gripe is that it's an all or nothing type of system. The reason I bought a second was because the first tipped over in the wind and the mount bent out of the frame and I couldn't put it back. BE SURE TO GET A GOOD C-STAND! I didn't. Use sandbags if outside. I'd also suggest getting the beauty dish plate, as it would give you multiple different looks from a single softbox depending on if you're using the inner diffuser or not.

evenly distributes the light in a great color tone. Very well constructed and easy up and down operation. Glad I went with this one for the slightly higher price tag.

This modifier is exactly what I needed. Packs up tight for all my on location shoots and modifies the light beautifully. Highly recommend.

I am very happy I bought it. It was very easy to assemble, even though i am still figuring out how to dissamble, but its ok, its in my work room so there is plenty of space. I recommend it for portraits, even when shooting couples.

Westcott products are a bit pricey compared to some Ebay replicas, but it is worth waiting and getting this unit. Right out of the box you will see the quality in the materials and not only is it durable, it sets up so very fast, pops open as fast as a umbrella and so well designed.

This is a great soft box, seem sturdy, easy to assemble. The second diffusion layer is mounted on a thick velcro strip. You can place the second diffuser deeper in the umbrella to control light spill or put it at the edge to light a larger area. I also got the reflector plate that makes this a beauty dish - makes for a very versatile modifier that you can change up on the fly without having to haul yet more gear.

This is my second time purchasing and using a softbox. However, it's my first Octo Soft-box. I like the fast setup/break down and portability of this unit. The light that it emits is Beautiful!! I would recommend the soft-box.

This is by far the best modifier I own. It gives a beautiful light. I rigged it to work with my flashpoint mount strobes. It wasn't that difficult.. I plan on getting the XPLOR 600 HSS with the bowens mount and do some location shoots.

If you are looking for great light with limited amount of control this is a good buy. it is also lightweight. However, with the grid for it being hard to find and very expensive it doesn't make it an ideal product. I'd look to get a PCB of the same size with the grid for less than the cost of this product. It is a bit heavier but it works. Plus you can change out the ring attachment on a PCB.
