It works, is easy to install, and comes with a nice pouch. If you have the Apollo Softbox and want more control over light spill, this is a good option.

Works as expected

Adds a little extra weight. Make sure you have a decent boom stand and sand bags.

An essential tool for photographers and videographers seeking precision lighting control, the 40-Degree Egg Crate Grid for the 43" Apollo Orb is expertly designed to manage off-axis light in four directions while preserving the inherently soft quality of a large light source. This grid is ideal for crafting separation and depth in your images, particularly effective as a hair light where meticulous control over the illumination on the subject's hair is necessary to distinguish it from the background.

Constructed with a series of cells, the grid channels light forward, significantly reducing unwanted spill light and preventing lens flare, thus ensuring a cleaner, more professional shot. The cell size, indicated in degrees, determines the maximum cutoff angle for off-axis light, with the 40-degree grid being the most favored choice among photography professionals for its balance of directionality and diffusion.

Despite its ability to direct light, the grid allows for minimal light loss at the center axis, usually less than a quarter stop, even when positioned 3 to 4 times the diagonal dimension of the light source away. This ensures that your subject remains well-lit, with the softness of the Apollo Orb maintained.

The Apollo Grid's soft structure not only provides durability but also allows for convenient collapse, making it an ideal companion for on-location shoots. Transport is made effortless with the included nylon carry case, safeguarding your grid during travel.

Installation is a breeze thanks to the hook and loop tape, which ensures a secure and swift attachment to your Apollo Orb. For optimal results, position your diffusion panel halfway onto the hook tape, leaving ample space for the egg crate grid to affix in front of the panel. The grid's corners are intentionally left unattached to allow for a taut stretch over the light source, preventing any sagging and ensuring a perfect fit every time.

Enhance your lighting setup with the precision and portability of the 40-Degree Egg Crate Grid for the 43" Apollo Orb, a professional's choice for targeted light control without compromising on the quality of soft lighting.

Westcott 40-Degree Egg Crate Grid Features

  • Eliminate spill & flare: As light is focused into a forward direction through use of a grid, it can help to eliminate spill light or lens flare
  • 40-degree spread of light: The off axis portion of the light is controlled by the cell size. The cell size (measured in degrees) describes the maximum cutoff angle of the off axis light. A 40-degree grid is the most popular degree used
  • Light loss: Light loss at the center axis is minimal at a distance 3 to 4 times the diagonal dimension of the light source. On most models it is less than a 1/4 a stop of light
  • Perfect for travel: Grids are soft grids that collapse down for easy transport and travel
  • Easy attachment: Grids easily attach through the use of hook and loop tape. When attaching, place your diffusion panel about 1/2 way in on the hook tape. This will leave enough room for the egg crate to attach directly in front of the diffusion panel
