My Rapidbox XL experience

I purchased this as I'm getting more into lighting and high-speed sync and wanted something light, durable, and easy to assemble for on location. A bit expensive I agree, but I've gotten past that hurdle and now enjoy the quality of photos. The deflector is a plus, but you wont miss it if you don't have one. I tried it as my key light in clam shell setup at home and was blown away with the quality it produced when used with the two diffusers. This is now my go-to octobox, hands down.

Great portable octosoftbox, but pricey

If you do not want to put rods together for a softbox when out on shoots, then the Rapid Box series by Westcott is a fast way to have a 36" octosoftbox ready to go anywhere. It is well made and fairly easy to setup (unclicking the lock ring can be a challenge). The drawbacks are its price and that it does not come with a grid, nor is a grid even available for it.

Bowens Adapter Ring Speeds Setup

This box comes with 2 fabric diffusion panels which are not enough by themselves to prevent a hotspot with hte XPLOR 600. Make sure you get the deflector plate when you order this it helps a lot. $ is a lot of money for a modifier like this, it would have been a better deal if they included a grid with it.

By partnering high-end materials with a quick-collapse frame, our Rapid Box modifier series will give you the professional results you want without the tedious setup.

For A Variety of Light Sources
The 36" Rapid Box XL and the 48" Rapid Box XXL were designed for use with a variety of strobes and continuous light heads. Select the Rapid Box size that best fits your space, style and subject. Then, select the proper speedring fitment for your light source.

Convenient Built-In Speedrings

The Rapid Box XL and XXL are essential modifiers for on-location and studio photographers. With a built-in speedring available for a variety of lights, these instant modifiers attach directly to your light source without any additional adapters.

Premium Diffusion
Our diffusion panel fabrics 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. Each Rapid Box includes a removable 1-stop diffusion front and 1-stop inner diffusion panel. Skylux version includes a 1/4-stop diffusion panel.

Beauty Dish-Style Lighting
The optional Deflector Plate minimizes hot spots and creates stunning and dramatic beauty dish-style light output.

The Rapid Box Deflector Plate is a must-have accessory for every Rapid Box user. This versatile accessory eliminates hot spots and creates lighting similar to that of a beauty dish.

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.

The original Rapid Box Deflector Plate is compatible with all Speedlite Rapid Boxes, including the 20" Rapid Box Octa, the 26" Rapid Box Octa, the 10" x 24" Rapid Box Strip and the 32" Rapid Box Duo. The Rapid Box XL/XXL Deflector Plate is compatible with all Studio Rapid Boxes, included the 36" Rapid Box XL and the 48" Rapid Box XXL and offers two mounting options with the included extension rod.
