42-Inch Octagonal Softbox

The Westcott ClickBox Octa 42 provides soft, wraparound illumination with a 1-stop diffusion panel. Its octagonal shape produces natural catchlights suited to portrait, interview and product work. A standard Bowens S-mount insert fits a wide range of strobes and continuous lights.

Heat-Rated Bowens Mount

The mount accepts strobes up to 400Ws and LED fixtures up to 300W without thermal issues. Silver interior lining adds contrast and output while the diffusion fabric controls spill. No active cooling or power draw is involved in the softbox itself.

ClickBox Frame System

The tool-free frame clicks into place in seconds and folds via quick-release buttons for compact storage. Weighing 2.15 lbs, the nylon, metal and plastic construction withstands frequent location use. Included Bowens insert ensures immediate compatibility with Westcott FJ400, L120-B and Quick-Mount S-Bracket systems.

Questions about this item

How do I install the ClickBox frame and what step do people often miss?

Press each rod into the hub until the spring-loaded button clicks into the locking hole; the step people miss is verifying every button is fully seated before mounting the diffuser.

Which parts will need replacement after heavy use?

The 1-stop front diffusion panel and the silver interior fabric can be swapped out when they yellow or tear; the Bowens S-mount insert and frame rods are serviceable separately.

What power limit appears first during a long session with a strobe?

The Bowens S-mount insert is heat-rated for 400 Ws, so sustained strobe output above that level will hit the thermal limit before the fabric does.
