43" Apollo Orb Octagonal Softbox

The Westcott 2336 43" Apollo Orb is an octagonal softbox designed for photographers who need a portable, adapter-free modifier for on-location and studio work. Its fiberglass frame opens like an umbrella, allowing rapid setup without separate speed rings. The included removable front diffusion panel controls spill and shapes catchlights for portrait and product sessions.

35-inch folded length for transport

When collapsed, the unit measures 3.5 inches by 35 inches (8.89 cm by 90.17 cm) and weighs approximately 1 lb (0.45 kg), fitting easily into gear bags for travel. The deeper profile distributes light evenly across the 43-inch diameter for strong output, though the single diffusion layer limits contrast control compared to double-diffused designs. Wind resistance is improved by the fiberglass ribs, yet extreme gusts may still require sandbagging the stand.

Bundled Flashpoint Nano Light Stand 7'

The package includes a Flashpoint Nano Light Stand extending to 7 feet, providing a complete support system matched to the softbox weight. Builders needing taller elevation, heavier-duty legs, or a different mounting interface will need a separate stand. No adapter ring is required for the Orb itself, so compatibility depends solely on the light head fitting the stand's spigot.

Questions about this item

Will the 43" Apollo Orb fit my existing Bowens-mount strobe without an extra adapter ring?

The Orb is designed to accept a light source directly inside its frame without requiring a separate adapter ring, so most standard-mount strobes can be positioned and secured using the built-in diffusion panel attachment.

How can I confirm the fiberglass frame is tensioned correctly after opening it like an umbrella?

When fully deployed the ribs lock into a rigid octagonal shape 43 inches across; the removable front diffusion panel then snaps taut across the face, showing even tension with no sagging or loose corners.

Does the 2336 kit include the Flashpoint Nano Light Stand 7' and the front diffusion panel, or must I buy either separately?

The bundle ships with the 43" Apollo Orb frame, the removable front diffusion panel, and the Flashpoint Nano Light Stand 7' all in one box — no additional items are required for basic operation.
