Just when you thought the Apollo product line couldn't get any better, Westcott takes it up a notch by integrating fiberglass ribs into the frame. This enhancement not only adds to the durability of the product but also ensures it stands up to the rigors of on-location shoots and windy conditions. The Apollo Orb stands out as the first octagonal softbox that eliminates the need for an adapter ring, offering a seamless setup process. With a simple umbrella-like opening mechanism, you can easily place your light inside and attach the included diffusion panel.
The Apollo Orb has been designed with a deeper profile, ensuring light is evenly projected for maximum output. This design also simulates a round catch light in the eyes, adding a professional touch to your photography. The diffusion panel can be recessed, providing even more directional control and preventing lens flare. This feature makes the Apollo Orb a versatile tool for photographers aiming to achieve a variety of lighting effects. The Apollo Orb measures 43.5" x 25" ( 110.5 cm x 63.5 cm) when open, and folds down to a compact 3.5" x 35" ( 8.89 cm x 90.17 cm), making it easy to transport and store.
Despite its size and robust construction, it weighs in at a mere 1 lb (. 45 kgs), making it a lightweight addition to your photography gear. Incorporate the Westcott Apollo Orb into your setup and experience the difference in your photography lighting.
