As the name "Switch" hints, Westcott has introduced a line of softboxes designed for setup and rapid swapping out of different brands of strobes and speedlights in seconds. The 26" Rapid Box Switch Octa-S Softbox is a good choice for use in the studio or on location for portraits, fashion, or corporate work. The large surface area of the softbox gives its output a wraparound quality especially when used close up. Another benefit is the reflection of natural-looking catchlights in your subject's eyes. As indicated in the name, the softbox has a basic ring to hold it together, but instead of full speed rings, 13 "inserts" are available and are required for a speedlight or specific brand of strobe. The quick release thumb-lock on the Rapid Box Switch ensures the security of your light. Besides the benefit of speed, the softbox is structurally sound with durable metal framework, heat-resistant fabric, and a reflective silver interior that maximizes your light source's output. The Rapid Box Switch Octa's diffusion material has also been thoroughly tested and found to be neutral, ensuring a true rendition of color. A carry case is included for storage and transport.

Everything fits in one bag. It's easy to carry and lightweight. The faceplate in one of the lights disperses the light evenly throughout the soft box. A great alternative to carrying studio strobes and modifiers.

Easy setup and tear down, versatile positioning, great fun. I got excellent photos from the first attempt, having never experimented with off-camera lighting before.

I gave this 5 stars cause I can't give 4.5 stars. This system is a well put together piece of kit. The stands are average but work very well with the 26 octa and small strip box. The 26 Octa provides an unbelievable soft even light when used with the middle deflector and outside diffuser. I can't say enough about it. I have not used it in any other way - so I can't say how it is but i'm thinking sort of like a portable beauty dish without the diffuser cover. The bracket is genius and works and carries well. The little strip box is perfect for a hair light, or a slick paramount lighting set up and of course for a 2 light portrait shot. I wish the middle deflector stored while attached which is why it gets 4.5 stars. Speaking of the case....each softbox comes in a nice easy to carry case but they all fit inside the larger carry-all which zips up nice and holds both softboxes and the stands. All in all a great set up for on the go shooters who want that soft even light that blends so well with a nice ambient.

It comes all ready to go. Case,2 Stands, all hardware and of course the 2 modifiers. The stands are decent and will hold the softboxes, i would not try to load up more than that. I found the stands to be a little sticky to open and close, but i guess you have to break them in a bit to smooth it out. I used it on a portrait shoot and it worked great. like i said grab and go is what this is for and the case is very nice and holds it all and you can put in extra clips and such.

I am a photographer that specializes in editorial, commercial, and wedding photojournalism. I work on location and typically I'm there to capture my clients work, working, or getting married. Time and space is typically limited. Speedlites are a must for my line of work. I need something quick, small, and dependable. These soft boxes are ideal for my line of work. I'm able to get in, set up very quickly, take up minimal space, and get the lighting dialed in for the shots I need. PROS; Very quick to setup Quality material and construction Lightweight Produces beautiful light Breaks down quickly CONS: None for me.

These soft boxes are quick and easy to set up and tear down. They are compact and easy to transport. Each one has its own small case and both fit into the larger case which also holds my speed lights and all accessories for using flash equipment in the field as well as in my home studio space. NOW I have to improve my skills at placing them appropriately for the effect I want to achieve! Practice, practice, practice.
