The convenience of an umbrella meets the control of a softbox. Built on an umbrella frame, the Apollo light modifiers set up in seconds.
No additional parts and pieces to lug around as these units simply open up just like an umbrella and set up in seconds making them perfect for any on-location photographer.
Most softboxes require expensive and heavy adapter rings to properly set up. Built on an umbrella frame, these units simply pop open like an umbrella and fit into the umbrella receptacle found on virtually all style "studio" lights.
The Apollo light modifier is a perfect pair with speedlights offering soft box control with the set up ease of an umbrella. An optional 5015 Shoe Mount bracket is required to mount the speedlights and Apollo onto a light stand with full tilting capability.
The larger the light source, the softer the light. That is certainly the case with this extra-large 50" JS Apollo. Perfect for portraits and couples, this unit also offers a recessed edge allow better control of light.
Fabrics are pure in color so the color temperature going into the fabric is the same color temperature coming back out.
The large recessed edge provides even greater light control allowing feathering of light to see exactly where the light is starting and stopping.
Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. If this kit doesn't come with a carrying case, what carrying case would work for this kit? Thanks :)
A: No carrying case /bagI use one of my bag but would have wished to have something more adequate
Q: 2. To everyone who bought this set up How good of a stand is it ? Does it hold up?
A: The Westcott Light Stand (Black, 8'), B&H # WE8LS, is a good light stand. It has a load capacity of 5.5 lb / 2.5 kg, and is more than strong enough for usage with the above softbox and a standard hot shoe flash. The Westcott Light Stand (Black, 8') has a 4.5 star rating from 83 reviews from customers who have purchased the light stand. You may view the reviews on our website for information about the light stand.
Q: 3. Did this Kit come with the front diffusion fabric?
A: Yes it does.
Q: 4. Does it roll up or flatten for storage?Does it have the bracket to attach a speed light?
A: OK, your not going to like this answer. Yes, it collapses like an umbrella. Pretty small, probably 14 inches in length, maybe 2 inches in diameter. My bundle did come with a bracket, but not a very good one. Kind of worthless for the flash I was intending to use it with. If your bundle doesn't come with a bracket, then no, but that is not much of a loss...
Q: 5. What is the actual size of this octobox ? PLEASE PLEASE do not tell me the same bald faced lie westcott does, which is 43 inches. Westcott 7 foot umbrellas are barely 5 ft tall. Yes, the Westcott 7 foot umbrella is the same size as my 60 impact softbox or my 60 inch Photoflex umbrella. Softboxes are measured across the FACE not the much larger diameter measurement that Westcott uses. I'm trying to find out if this box is larger than my 36 Photoflex octobox. What is the actual face size ?
A: Actual face size, edge to edge is 40
Q: 6. I'd like to put this on a LED light. What's the maximum size the back opening can open up to?

Q: 8. Can this be used with a Alienbee?
A: Yes I use it with my alien bees
Q: 9. Would this work with my Elinchrom D-Lite RX 4?
A: Yes, The D-lite is a shorter body and will be very effective. We use the orb with either 1 x elinchrom or 3 x standard flashes with the 3 flash adaptor.
Q: 10. Is the Diffusion Cloth Washable or can it be cleaned when it gets dusty when we travel ans shoot a lot ? Or Does Wescott Provide a separate cleaning solution to remove it safely without damaging the quality of the product ? This question also applies to the wescott diffusion reflectors !
A: You can clean it up easily with a wet cloth :)
