Westcott Rapid Box Switch: Softboxes & Grids, Oh My!

In this episode I break down the Switch mount system from Westcott (that can be used with both their Switch Rapid Boxes & their Beauty Dish). I also show a real world example of how to use their Octa-L Rapid Box with and without a grid on the Aputure 120d ii.
Lighting examples start at around 3:02 in the video.
Until early December you can take advantage of Westcott’s Cyber Week Deals which include a free grid with a ton of their softboxes and big discounts on their Flex line of lights!

Thank you Jem, helpful and informative video! Good luck!

[@theC47]

Thanks for watching!

[@TylerEdwards]

Awesome little product. Great tip about grids. I have the light done II with my 120d and often use the grid that came with it

[@theC47]

Thanks Tyler. Light Dome II is cool as well. Love that Magic Cloth.

I can't seem to get the mount (profoto) onto the Westcott Beauty dish snugly and pick up the whole softbox with the mount and not have the mount stay on - any tips? Every video I see people seem to pop it on easily - I see a screw and not sure if we are to set the mount under that and the clip snaps in??

[@tonypags5315]

I just picked up the rapid box switch (26 inch) with Bowens mount. Another video I've seen shows a thumbscrew in the back to prevent the mount from spinning? I don't have that on mine. Is that on the larger models only?

[@WestCoastVivi]

I have two of them and both came with the screw.

[@ricklord7144]

Where in Oregon? We area Salem area production house! Keep up the tutorials! Good stuff!

[@mentalistjesse]

Hi. Can you explain the speed ring and wrist damage? Do all lights made for the Bowens fit have a speed ring? My wrists are already strained from the computer and I just ordered a softbox that has "speed ring" in the name. Luckily, it didn't arrive in the mail and I can exchange it. This is the name: FotodioX EZ-Pro Deep Parabolic Softbox (36", Bowens Speed Ring)

[@theC47]

Can you elaborate? I don’t quite understand the question.

[@brianhotaling5849]

How do you fold up the grids?????

[@theC47]

It is very floppy and folds into itself. Takes up very little room.

[@杨大大-x8x]

hope more tutorial

[@theC47]

That’s the plan!
