Narrow 12" x 36" Light Modifier

The Westcott Apollo Strip Softbox is a rectangular lighting accessory built for photographers who need a focused beam for rim, kicker, edge, or hair light applications. Its slim profile creates a controlled fall-off that separates subjects from backgrounds in studio or location work. The unit accepts portable flashes, studio strobes, and continuous lights via a standard umbrella receptacle.

Umbrella-Style Frame with Dual Zippered Mounting

A fiberglass frame lets the softbox pop open and collapse like an umbrella, removing the need for separate speedrings or adapters. Two built-in zippered entry points allow the modifier to be mounted in either a vertical or horizontal orientation without re-rigging the light head. The construction folds flat into the included carry case for compact storage and transport between shoots.

40° Egg Crate Grid and 1-Stop Diffusion Included

The package supplies a 40-degree egg crate grid that narrows the beam spread for precise accent lighting and a full-stop diffusion panel that softens the output further. Both accessories store in their own cases alongside the softbox, keeping the kit organised and ready for quick deployment. No additional mounting hardware is required to start shooting.

Questions about this item

What mount does the 12x36 softbox use and what does that limit?

It slides into a standard umbrella receptacle so it works with any light that has that hole; speedrings and brand-specific adapters are not needed.

What are the assembled dimensions and how much space does it need?

The softbox measures 12 by 36 inches when open; allow at least that width and depth plus room for the light head and stand.

How is the 40-degree grid attached and what step is often missed?

The egg-crate grid fastens to the front of the softbox with hook-and-loop strips; the step people skip is seating the diffusion panel first so the grid sits flat.
