Upgraded old rapidbox
I used this to modify the older 26” rapid box that was made for speedlights. It was a perfect fit and easy to swap in (4 screws)
Westcott Switch Insert w/Bowen mount
My Westcott Switch Insert Bowen mount fit perfectly and easily into my Westcott Rapid Umbrella for use on my Flashpoint XPLOR 600 PRO TTL Monolight. I highly recommend this insert.

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...."
