Well-Built and Easy to Use
Initially saw the Westcott Rapid Box Octabox in use during a photo coaching session. I purchased the medium model due to low ceilings where I do a number of my shoots.The octabox frame is sturdy and well-made. Instead of an umbrella-style shaft lock device, the Westcott Rapid Box uses a magnet to hold the box in the open position. The diffusers were easy to install, and can be folded up when the Box is collapsed.Probably my favorite feature is the zipper in the side body of the Octabox - it a...

High quality soft box diffuser with easy set up
Adorama site is clean, well-designed and a snap to navigate. Product arrived quickly, well-packaged and in perfect condition. Westcott Rapid Box diffuser is incredibly easy to assemble right out of the box and appears to be of very good quality. So far, softbox has produced very pleasing results using a FlashPoint Zoom TTL Li-ion flash set-up with my Nikon D750. Looking forward to expanding my Westcott product collection.

Hands-On Review: Testing the New Westcott Rapid Box Switch
"If you’ve never used a Rapid Box before, let me briefly explain. In a “classic” softbox, the photographer has a “speed ring” on which they build their box. Depending on the size of the softbox, this can take several valuable minutes away from your session. Beyond that, it requires a certain amount of strength to set up and tear down, making the task difficult for some.
With the Westcott Rapid Box system, the Softbox is built on a frame similar to an umbrella (but different from the Halo or Apollo in that the light itself sits in the back, like a traditional softbox). By simply sliding the locking mechanism up the rod you can build (or break down) your Rapid Box in seconds. This amazing refinement allows you to create beautiful light whenever and wherever you need it, quickly and with little fuss...."
