Questions about this item

What comes inside the 2336 Apollo Orb package and what must I purchase separately?

The box contains the 43.5" octagonal softbox with fiberglass ribs, a removable front diffusion panel, and a Flashpoint 9' Auto Stand. You will need to supply your own flash or continuous light source to mount inside the softbox.

How do I decide between the 43" Apollo Orb and other sizes in the range?

The 43.5" Orb measures 110.5 cm across and 63.5 cm deep, folding to 8.89 cm x 90.17 cm at 0.45 kg. Choose this size when you want a large, round catch-light and deeper light spread but still need a kit that fits in a standard gear bag.

What does the 43.5" diameter actually give me on set?

At 43.5" wide and 25" deep, the Orb wraps light around a subject for soft shadows and a natural round catch-light. The recessed diffusion panel adds directional control to reduce flare, while the umbrella-style frame sets up in seconds without an adapter ring.
