Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. On the Westcott website it states that the maximum wattage is 300 for this umbrella. If I use a 600W strobe at full power will this damage the umbrella?

A: Anthony,The Wattage rating is for continuous lighting. Strobes are rated in Watt-Seconds. Your Strobe will work fine with the Umbrella.

Q: 2. Does this kit include the grid?

A: Nope.

Q: 3. the shaft fits into a profoto or broncolour?

A: Yes.

Q: 4. I'd like to put this on a LED light. What's the maximum size the back opening can open up to?

A: There is an elastic back that can open as wide as 8 inches and as tall as 6 inches.

Q: 5. Can the box be tilted? If so, what keeps it in place? Thanks.

A: I love it. It is really easy to carrier with me, set up for shoot photo ad.

Q: 6. will it work with profoto b10? If not, which company would you recommend to buy for my Profoto B10. needs 38". Thank you for you

A: No, the Westcott Apollo Strip Softbox Kit (12 x 36") is not compatible with the Profoto B10. This one works wihth the B10, https://bhpho.to/2zKzvcU.

Q: 7. How long is this umbrella when it is collapsed and in its carrying case? The specs seem to show only shipping size and shaft length.

A: Andrew, The umbrella collapsed is 36" in its carry case.

Q: 8. Will this work with the new b1x?

A: Josue,Fit is no problem. Personal preference would be to add the profoto glass dome and spill kill reflector to spread the light or consider the white version for a more diffused light.

Q: 9. Does it roll up or flatten for storage?Does it have the bracket to attach a speed light?

A: OK, your not going to like this answer. Yes, it collapses like an umbrella. Pretty small, probably 14 inches in length, maybe 2 inches in diameter. My bundle did come with a bracket, but not a very good one. Kind of worthless for the flash I was intending to use it with. If your bundle doesn't come with a bracket, then no, but that is not much of a loss...

Q: 10. Will this softbox work with an optical trigger? Since the flash is enclosed I was not sure if it would prevent the transmission of the signal from camera to flash.

A: Honest answer is: I don't know. I use the 10m(33ft) cord that Syl Arena recommends. It allows you to control the OCF from the camera's menus. Don't use a curly one, you will pull the light stand over!

[Softbox] Provides broader coverage than the slip on, difussers but folds pretty flat to enable it to fit into different pockets in a bag or pack.

[0.505 lb] Great product I do wish I had bought this product earlier, will give you results like using a softbox in the studio. I do not use flash on camera and the results are extraordinary.

[Softbox] Wonderful product. Detachable flash fixes red eye but it is often too strong and still too small of a light source. If you want better photos you need to soften the flash and increase it's size. This product does both. it's more than just a diffuser. It makes studio type of lighting portable and convenient. Something to own. I don't know why all professional photographers aren't using this.

[0.505 lb] Does a great job when I'm in a hurry. Softens flash and shadows. I use Micro Apollo with a LumiQuest Ultrastrap for my lens and it's really stable with less hassle.

[Softbox] Softens light for reception/event-style photography. I prefer it to bounce and most diffusers--it is very evenly distributed.
