Westcott Softbox Kit.

Get more from your off-camera flash with the Apollo Strip Speedlight Kit. The Apollo Strip is designed with a narrow profile and recessed edge for focusing your light source on a defined area. This rectangular modifier makes an ideal rim, accent, or hair light for portraiture or product photography. The strip features two built-in zippered entry points that allow for mounting in a vertical or horizontal position. The kit includes a 12" x 36" Apollo Strip softbox with a case, full-stop diffusion panel, adjustable shoe mount bracket, and 8' aluminum light stand.

Simple to Setup and Use Anywhere
The convenience of an umbrella meets the control of a softbox. Built on a durable fiberglass frame, this lightweight softbox opens and closes like an umbrella for quick setup and teardown. Apollo softboxes mount to a variety of lights using a standard umbrella receptacle. No speedrings or adapters are required! These lightweight modifiers are perfect for both on-location and studio photography.

Direct Or Indirect Lighting.

Like the original Apollo, the 12" x 36" Apollo Strip allows you to achieve direct or indirect lighting with the same modifier. By directing your light toward the diffusion front, you'll create drastic highlights with a subtle hot spot. Positioning your light towards the back of Apollo creates an even spread of light with softer shadows. The inside of the Apollo softbox is made with highly-reflective silver fabric that maximizes light output for any situation.

For Portable Flashes and Studio Strobes
Do you shoot with both a Speedlight and strobe? Thanks to Apollo's versatile umbrella shaft, these modifiers can be instantly paired with both types of off-camera flashes. With these softboxes, you won't be confined to using a single lighting style or forced into buying various modifiers. The included adjustable bracket is compatible with both portable round head flashes and square head speedlights.

Dual Mounting Options.

The Apollo Strip features two built-in zippered entry points. These allow for precise mounting of your Apollo Strip in a vertical or horizontal position. After mounting, the openings can be zipped tight around your stand to eliminate any potential light loss.

The Original Umbrella Softbox, Reimagined
Since being invented by Westcott in 1985, Apollo umbrella-style softboxes have been enhanced based on customer requests. The latest Apollo design features a recessed edge, flexible fiberglass frame, and removable outer diffusion panel for added versatility.
