Review on ๐Ÿ“ธ Optimized for SEO: Westcott Rapid Box Switch 26" Octa Speedlite Kit with Deflector Plate - Interchangeable Light Mount Photography Softbox by Jim Fuhrer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This set is great, just add a flash and you're done.

This kit is great, just add a flash and you're done. I like Westcott Rapid boxes in general and this smaller size that doesn't use a speed ring is handy. A deflector is required. The stand is light, but it makes sense to use this Rapid Box, which is only intended for hot shoe flashes. As with all light stands you will need something to hold it when using it in windy conditions with a huge modifier on top. My only criticism is with the seller, Roberts LP, and the way they shipped the kit. . It came with a few labels on the display box which didn't hold up well to travel. The box was crumpled and torn. Inside, the plastic bags around the deflection tray and coaster looked like they had been dropped on the sidewalk, and the coaster and tray were slightly scratched. I would trade it in but I had to use it this weekend so I'm just warning others about the seller instead.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Not everything fits
