Westcott Rapid Box Switch Rectangular Softbox (3x4')
The Westcott Rapid Box Switch (3x4') Softboxes are large collapsible softboxes with reflective silver interiors and diffusion panels for modifying speedlites or strobes.
Versatile Light Modification
Rectangular softboxes are an excellent choice for product photography, food photography, and still lifes as well as creating the traditional North Light quality sought by traditional portraitists.
The Softbox That Changes With You
The Rapid Box Switch is designed for use with the most popular strobes, speedlites and monolights. With 13 interchangeable light mount inserts and 9 collapsible light modifiers, this is the premier softbox series that Switches with you.
1. Choose your Switch modifier
- 9 unique sizes and shapes with new 1x4, 2x3, and 3x4 options
2. Choose your Switch Insert
- 13 quick-release interchangeable light mount options
Designed for Portability
Constructed with solid aluminum umbrella-inspired framework, the design of the Rapid Box Switch maximizes durability, minimizes weight, eliminates the need for separate support rods, and makes setup a breeze. Everything is simple, quick, and compact. After your shoot, the Rapid Box Switch breaks down instantly into a sleek carry case for travel and storage.
An Ingenious Light Modifier
Pairing durable fabrics with a quick-collapse frame, Westcott's Rapid Box Switch softboxes offer the professional light modification that you're looking for without the tedious setup.
Premium Diffusion Fabric
Westcott's diffusion panels are constructed with an all-natural, unbleached nylon fabric. Unlike processed diffusion fabrics, these diffusers will soften your light source without altering its color temperature.
The Must-Have Accessory
The optional Deflector Plate minimizes hot spots and creates a stunning beauty-style light output. These plates are easy to use with all Rapid Box softboxes.
Rear-Mounted Lights
Westcott purposely designed the Rapid Box Switch with an external mount. By keeping your speedlight or strobe outside of the softbox, you can quickly access controls and utilize the line-of-sight (or optical wireless) functionality. Of course, radio triggers can be used as well.
Heavy-Duty Mounts for the Most Popular Lights
Switch Inserts attach your light source to any Rapid Box Switch light modifier in an instant. This durable all-metal adapter slides quickly into the rear tabs of your Rapid Box Switch and secures in place with the thumb-lock.

A total of 13 Switch Inserts are available for the industry's most popular brands, including Balcar/Paul C Buff, Bowens, Broncolor, Dynalite, Elinchrom, Hensel, Norman, Photogenic and Profoto. Speedlite and Profoto A1 inserts are also available.
The Westcott Switch Insert for Bowens Flash Heads pairs Bowens-mount lights with a Rapid Box Switch or Beauty Dish Switch light modifier.
Interchangeable Mounts for the Most Popular Lights
