Portability is key

For an inexpensive fast set up this does this trick. How durable it will be time will tell, but I am gentle on equipment so it should do fine. If you need the portability to get to on location shots quick and easy this is the set for you.

Great for fast setup

I'm not a strobe/studio shooter, but needed something I could quickly setup with TTL flashes, used with SB-700 and SB-5000 flash units and worked fantastic! I now have a kit I consider bringing on shoots even outdoors because of it's portability.

Exactly What I Needed

I ordered these on the advice of another photographer, and they did not disappoint. Quick, easy setup, good build quality, and performed exactly as I needed them to. If you've already got speedlights but don't use them because, let's face it, speedlights are frustrating, try these and you'll be using your flashes all of the time. Highly recommend!

nice setup for on the go

It's the complete set but the selling features to me are the light modifiers and beauty dish. The light stands are very light-weight and not the sturdiest but will do the job and come with a nice bag.

Excellent for the purpose.

As a hobbyist, I’ve been debating what modifiers/light stands to buy for some time. This set made the decision practically a no-brainer. The two soft boxes are well-made and simple to deploy. The included light stands seem well-made and stable enough for the purpose, and I really like the three very nice cases provided (one for each soft box, plus a larger one to hold them both and the stands, with a zippered pouch that holds my third light stand). I do wish the soft boxes could accommodate detachable grids to control light dispersion, but they are not designed for that level of flexibility. Nevertheless, I am very pleased.

I would buy this product again

I use the Speedlite kit to take portraits indoors when weather isn't cooperative. Also great for fill light outside. Quick and easy setup and take down. Love this kit!

Portability is key

By ROBERT L.

For an inexpensive fast set up this does this trick. How durable it will be time will tell, but I am gentle on equipment so it should do fine. If you need the portability to get to on location shots quick and easy this is the set for you.

Ultimate Rapid Box Speedlight Kit
The Rapid Box Dual Speedlite Kit is a complete 2-light softbox solution for on-the-go portrait photographers. This kit includes the Rapid Box Switch Octa-S, the Rapid Box Switch Strip, two speedlite Switch rings, two durable 8' light stands, a Rapid Box Deflector Plate, and a durable travel bag.

Instant Portrait Lighting Setup
Pair this inclusive kit with 2 speedlites for an instant portrait lighting setup. Utilize the Rapid Box Switch Octa-S as your main light, and the Rapid Box Switch Strip as your hair or rim light for classic portrait lighting. And when you're looking to capture more dramatic or edgy images, replace the Rapid Box Switch Octa's diffusion panel with the included deflector plate.

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.

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.

Premium Diffusion Fabric
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 color temperature.

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.

- Rapid Box Deflector Plate -

An Essential Rapid Box Accessory
The Rapid Box Deflector Plate is a must-have accessory for every Rapid Box user. This versatile accessory evenly distributes light across the face of the softbox and eliminates hot spots.

Effortless Mounting
This deflector plate quickly screws onto your Rapid Box's internal shaft and can be removed just as easily for storage. It's durable, compact form is designed to fit directly into your Rapid Box's travel bag.

Stunning Output
A deflector plate quickly deflects your light source toward a reflective surface, creating a relatively specular output. This edgy lighting sculpts facial features and creates a nice catchlight when capturing headshots.


- 8' Light Stand -

Secure Light Placement
This trusted light stand incorporates a durable design and tall telescoping tubing for classic light mounting in your studio or on location. It is constructed of thick aluminum tubing with a black finish to prevent reflections. Knobs allow for mounting height to be adjusted up to 8' in height. Double support rails are included to provide additional strength to legs.


- Soft Sided Gear Bag -

Essential Modifier Bag
This gear bag is designed with the on-location photographer in mind. This case can house multiple umbrella-based modifiers along with compact light stands, diffusion panels, brackets, grids, and more.

Heavy-Duty Construction
Constructed with an ultra-durable nylon denier fabric, this heavy-duty bag is designed to withstand years of use on location and in the studio. This gear bag's padded handle allows for comfortable transportation.

Easy Organization
This gear bag is designed with a full-length exterior pocket with a zippered closure, allowing for secure and separated placement of small brackets and accessories.
