  • Strobepro Rapid Snap Octa Softbox (36" Small)

    Game Changing Design

    The Strobepro Rapid Snap softboxes were designed with portability, weight, and speed in mind. It folds flat and sets up in a snap! Compared to umbrella-style softboxes, the Rapid Snap takes up half the space in your bag, weighs at least 25% less, and still sets up in seconds. These are the most versatile and portable softboxes on the market.

    Fastest, Easiest Setup Ever

    Just fan out the rods, and snap the speedring mount together. That's it.

    Huge Space Savings

    The unique snap mechanism allows the speedring mount to fold in half while not in use. Its packaged size 50% thinner than our Rapid Pro softboxes! You can fit twice as many softboxes in your Ultimate Kit Bag, checked luggage or vehicle.

    It's A Lean, Mean, Light Shaping Machine

    The new mechanism allows us to remove all the inner support structure found in our Rapid Pro softboxes, which saves about 25% of the total weight.  Your assistant should complain 25% less about carrying them.

    No Inner Mechanism

    Without umbrella rods to get in the way, the Rapid Snap Softbox can be easily gelled, and you can depend on an unobstructed projection even when the inner diffuser is not in use.

    Multiple Speedring Choices

    The speedring is user changeable to any of the most popular strobe mounts.  Bowens (Strobepro), Profoto, Elinchrom, Alien Bee (Einstein) and even Godox speedrings are available.  Just loosen two screws and slide in the new speedring.

    Your Time is Money

    Please tell us you're not still using softboxes with detachable rods. The first time you snap the Strobepro Rapid Snap Series together, you'll be contemplating what other revelations you could have missed in your life. 

    Why Use an Octa Softbox?

    The octagonal shape gives you a rounded catchlight in your portraits, which is typically said to look more natural. An octa also has a bit more structure than a rectangular box, which could make it the better choice for outdoor use. The 36" size is a staple that can do a bit of everything, from headshots, to environmental portraits, to larger products. It provides some nice and soft light while not being too unwieldly in the elements or in smaller spaces.

    Optional Honeycomb Grid

    Add even more control by purchasing the optional 36" honeycomb grid.  Grids are awesome for preventing flare and directing light exactly where you want it.

    Leave The Diffusers

    Go ahead and leave your diffusers attached. They'll stay protected because there is no inner mechanism to snag it on.

    Super Slim Carrying Case

    The included carrying case is all new as well. It is flat with a zippered opening at one end.  Just slide your softbox in, zip it up, and you're good to go.

    Inner Diffuser Included

    Doubling up your diffusion ensures that light hits every part of the front diffuser as evenly as possible, but you can optionally remove the inner diffuser to squeeze out an extra stop.

    Easy to Gel

    We mentioned this already, but it deserves its own header.  Since there's no inner mechanism to worry about, your creative or correction gels can be easily taped into place.

    Rapid snap

    This is a great softbox, much improved over my old godox branded ones. the cloth material of the box and the speed ring just feel so much better. And the fact that it collapses to be portable is such a huge win!

    Crazy fast setup

    I tell all my photographer friends about the rapid snap boxes. After setting up ridiculous octoboxes and complicated softboxes, this design couldn't be any faster or easier. I love that I don't have to put the diffusers on every time! I used to set up complicated elinchrome Octoboxes when I was pregnant and that was the most annoying thing ever with the belly haha! This will change your world, especially if you set up on location regularly.

    Yup! They are just awesome! Just be careful with the rapid snap release. Hang on tight to that sucker until you know it is in place. It is as the name implies...snappy.

    Perfect for group photos

    I work in a high school and I am responsible for taking team photos for our sports teams. These occur in our gymnasium were the lighting is less than ideal. I have purchased two of these 60" Rapid Snap Octa Softboxes to light our teams. I appreciate the fast setup and take down of these softboxes as I have limited time to get ready for the shoot as it happens between when I am teaching classes.
    Thank you to the people who designed these softboxes and to Strobepro for fast, free delivery as these softboxes work well for my applications.
