Westcott 2336 Apollo Orb Octabox with Grid - 43"

The Westcott 2336 Apollo Orb is a 43-inch octagonal softbox that combines the light-shaping qualities of a traditional softbox with the convenience of an umbrella frame. Rather than fussing with speed rings and multiple rods, you simply open the frame, slide your light source inside, and attach the included front diffusion panel. This makes the Apollo Orb one of the fastest modifiers to deploy on set, which is a genuine advantage during time-sensitive portrait sessions or on-location shoots where efficiency matters.

The deeper profile of the Apollo Orb is engineered to project light more evenly across the entire surface of the diffusion panel, reducing hot spots and delivering consistent illumination. Its octagonal shape closely mimics a circular light source, producing round, natural-looking catchlights that are especially desirable in portrait and beauty photography. The included fabric grid snaps onto the front and narrows the beam spread, giving photographers precise control over where light falls without sacrificing the soft quality the modifier is known for. At 43 inches in diameter, it provides a generously large source relative to most subjects, helping to wrap light smoothly across skin and reduce harsh shadows.
