Westcott Rapid Box Switch Octa-M: The Ideal Key Light
As the name "Switch" suggests, Westcott has introduced a line of softboxes designed for quick setup and rapid swapping out of different brands of strobes and speedlights in seconds. The 36" Rapid Box Switch Octa-M Softbox is a versatile choice for use in the studio or on location for head and shoulders portraits, fashion, advertising, or corporate work. Its large surface area delivers a wraparound quality of light, especially when used close up, and produces natural-looking catchlights in your subject's eyes.
One of the key features of the Rapid Box Switch Octa-M is its ease of use and quick setup time. The softbox’s collapsible design allows it to be set up and taken down in a matter of seconds, which is a significant advantage for photographers working on tight schedules or moving between different locations. The need for a Switch Insert to mount the compatible light source adds to its flexibility, allowing photographers to switch between different types of lights seamlessly.
The softbox’s construction is robust and dependable, featuring a durable metal framework and heat-resistant fabrics that ensure longevity even with regular use. The quick-release thumb-lock mechanism is a thoughtful addition, providing a secure and hassle-free way to attach and detach the light source. The taut silver interior of the softbox is designed to maximise light output, ensuring that the light is efficiently utilised and evenly distributed.
Moreover, the neutral diffusion fabric of the Rapid Box Switch Octa-M has been meticulously tested to guarantee consistent colour temperature, which is crucial for achieving accurate and true-to-life colours in photographs. This feature is particularly beneficial for commercial and fashion photographers who need to maintain precise colour fidelity in their work.
For convenience, the Rapid Box Switch Octa-M comes with a carry bag, making it easy to transport and store. This makes it an excellent choice for photographers who need a reliable and portable lighting solution. Additionally, the softbox’s design is part of Westcott’s extensive selection of quick-collapse light modifiers, offering photographers a wide range of options to suit their specific lighting needs.
In summary, the Westcott Rapid Box Switch Octa-M is an exceptional key light that combines ease of use, durability, and superior light quality. Its innovative design and high-quality materials make it a valuable tool for any professional photographer looking to enhance their lighting setup. Whether used in a studio or on location, this softbox delivers consistent and beautiful lighting, making it an indispensable addition to any photographer’s toolkit.
