Review on Rapid Box Switch Octa S 26 by Hamilton Larcony

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great product but the nickel and cent situation is ridiculous.

Okay, first off, Westcott products are really great. My problem is why a nickel and a dime? It doesn't make any sense to me. If you buy this you will get the mod in a state where you cannot use it at all. If you want to use it, you need to buy a switch plate. I believe it should come with a switch that can be turned off when the system is changed. It's a great concept, but why do I have to buy the starter plate separately? Next comes an extra cosmetic plate if you want to buy it extra. Compared to other systems of comparable quality, it doesn't seem worth it. I suppose you can't pit manufacturers against each other, but I'll do that in this review, and if it does publish, yes, if not, I've just wasted my time. Okay, so this system and another vendor's EZ Lock system are almost identical. I've been using this system for a while and it's amazing and pretty reliable. I just got this Westcott system and it looks pretty solid but the other system comes with all the accessories and costs less so it doesn't seem like the best value for money.

Pros
  • Lighting and Studio
Cons
  • So far so good
