Westcott 2348 Apollo Recessed Mega JS (50 x 50")

Find the perfect balance between the convenience of an umbrella and the control of a softbox with the Westcott 50" Recessed Mega JS Apollo. This unique light modifier, built on an umbrella frame, is designed for quick and easy setup, making it an ideal choice for on-location photographers.

Unlike traditional softboxes that require cumbersome and costly adapter rings, the Apollo light modifier fits seamlessly into the umbrella receptacle found on virtually all studio lights. This feature, combined with its patented technology (US Patent # US D686,772 S), sets it apart as the largest in the Apollo line.

The Apollo light modifier pairs perfectly with speedlites, offering the control of a softbox with the setup ease of an umbrella. To mount the speedlite and Apollo onto a light stand with full tilting capability, an optional 5015 Shoe Mount bracket (sold separately) is required.

The 50" JS Apollo boasts a 140-degree light spread, making it an excellent choice for capturing stunning portraits and couple shots. Its recessed front edge allows for better control of light, enabling you to direct the light forward through the white diffusion front for specular highlights. These highlights create a "hot spot" on your subject, resulting in a dramatic fall off from highlights to shadows.

The diffusion fabrics used in the Apollo light modifier are pure in color, ensuring the color temperature going into the fabric matches the color temperature coming out. This, along with the large recessed edge, provides superior light control, allowing for precise feathering of light to see exactly where the light is starting and stopping.

Experience the versatility, portability, and high-quality performance of the Westcott 50" Recessed Mega JS Apollo, a durable and adjustable lighting solution for all your photography and videography needs.
