Instant Softbox Setup

The Xlite 120cm Umbrella Octa Softbox plus Grid & Mask Fits PROFOTO is the perfect choice for on-location shooting. It folds down like a regular umbrella, but expands straight into an octa softbox, saving you time compared to traditional softboxes which require rods and speed rings for assembly. The recessed front diffuser allows you to precisely position and feather the light. Plus, the removable grid and mask help you control light spill when accuracy is essential.

Xlite Pro Octa softboxes create a unique, natural-looking light that is not easily replicated by traditional square or rectangular softboxes. These unique features make Octa softboxes ideal for portraiture and fashion photography.

The rounded shape of an octa creates a natural, round catch light in the subject's eyes. Unlike traditional square or rectangular softboxes, octa softboxes do not have a long straight edge. This creates a wrapping effect that opens up shadows and creates a natural, gradual gradient from highlight to shadow. Octa softboxes are typically used as the main light, or as a soft fill light indoors or out.

Recessed Front Edge

Xlite Pro Series Softboxes have many different shapes and sizes, this variant, however, offers an Octa shape. A recessed front edge is designed to easily fit the included grid to meet the needs of amateur and professional photographers. The lighting modifiers are also newly designed to withstand overtime use by any photographer.

Unique and Natural Looking

The size and shape of these Octa Softboxes provide a natural-looking yet unique light that cannot be done using any other regular softboxes. These features make Octa softboxes best for use in portrait shots and fashion photography. Unlike the traditional square or rectangular softboxes with a long straight edge, the Octa softbox rounded shape creates a natural, round catch light in the subject's eyes. This results in a magnificent wrapping effect that creates a natural and gradual gradient from highlight to shadow.

Perfect for on-location shooting

These softboxes can be folded down like your regular umbrella when not in use and opened into an octal softbox for instant use making a lot of difference from regular softboxes that require speed rings and rods.
