Westcott 12x36" Apollo Strip Softbox with Grid

You can achieve professional-grade lighting with the 12x36" Apollo Strip Softbox with Grid, a versatile and efficient lighting modifier designed for precision and control. This narrow-profile softbox is perfect for creating a focused light source on a specific area, making it an ideal choice for rim, accent, or hair lighting in both studio and on-location photography.

The Apollo Strip Softbox features a unique rectangular design that produces a soft, diffused light source. It comes with two built-in zippered entry points, allowing for flexible mounting in either a vertical or horizontal position. The package includes a 12" x 36" Apollo Strip softbox, a full-stop diffusion panel, a 40-degree egg crate grid, and a case for convenient storage and transportation.

Setting up the Apollo Strip Softbox is a breeze, thanks to its umbrella-like design. Built on a sturdy fiberglass frame, this lightweight softbox opens and closes just like an umbrella, ensuring quick setup and teardown. It can be easily mounted to a variety of lights using a standard umbrella receptacle, eliminating the need for speedrings or adapters.

The Apollo Strip Softbox also comes with a 40-degree egg crate grid for precise light control. This feature allows you to direct the light output towards your subject or scene, reducing light spill and enhancing the depth and dimension of your portraiture.

Whether you're using a speedlight or a studio strobe, the Apollo's versatile umbrella shaft ensures compatibility with both types of off-camera flashes. This means you can switch between different lighting styles without having to purchase additional modifiers.

The 12" x 36" Apollo Strip Softbox also allows for both direct and indirect lighting. By directing your light towards the diffusion front, you can create dramatic highlights with a subtle hot spot. Alternatively, positioning your light towards the back of the Apollo results in an even spread of light with softer shadows.

The interior of the Apollo softbox is lined with highly-reflective silver fabric, maximizing light output for any situation. This latest design, a reimagined version of the original Apollo umbrella softbox invented by Westcott in 1985, features a recessed edge, a flexible fiberglass frame, and a removable outer diffusion panel for added versatility.
