Excellent accessory

You only get about 75% of the functionality of the RapidBox if you don't use it for the cosmetic tray function. It's really amazing how great it shines. Adds just enough highlights to portraits to make them sharp without harshness.

Pros
  • Simply screw onto the central shaft
Cons
  • Factor Set

Good but could be better

This is what I wanted and was easy to use. My only complaint is that I wish there was finger texture on the mounting screw because mine gets jammed all the time and I have to find a screwdriver or the back edge of a knife to loosen it. The rest works great!

Pros
  • Fits all types of Rapid Box and extra lint cloth
Cons
  • Useless features

Complements the RapidBox kit. Should really only be there.

It's hard to justify $20 for stamped plastic parts and some fasteners, but they do a great job of turning the Rapid Box's light output into little more than a cosmetic bowl . The panel can be installed in two ways; concave outwards or concave inwards. I haven't really experimented with the differences, although I'm sure the differences will mostly be edge feathering, especially when used without a diffuser face. If you're using the Rapid Box and find too many skin hotspots, you can definitely…

Pros
  • Two-piece mobility mounting bar
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen
