Quick-Release Locking Mechanism. The “Switch” in the Westcott Rapid Box Switch 24-inch Beauty Dish’s name refers to its quick-release locking mechanism that lets you swiftly and easily change the mounting insert. This system lets you use the Rapid Box Switch with a variety of light fixtures, this version being assembled for use with the Westcott FJ80 / Profoto’s A1X/A10.

Collapsible and Portable. Beauty dishes can be fickle products. They can get dented, warped, and damaged. The Rapid Box Switch Beauty Dish combats this with a collapsible umbrella-style design. Setup and teardown are super quick, while the whole setup is compact for easy storage.

Soft, Defined Light. With a beauty dish, you get far more defined shadows than you’d see with a softbox. However, at the same time it produces a wide, uniform, soft light. While softboxes are definitely more commonly used when people desire soft light, the beauty dish is perfect for a more defined, three-dimensional soft light. The Rapid Box Switch maintains the look of a traditional beauty dish with its circular design featuring sixteen all-metal ribs.

Durable Build. This Westcott Rapid Box 24-inch Beauty Dishes solid metal framework provides high durability at a light weight, while its fabric is heat resistant.

Center Deflector. This center-mounted disc blocks direct light and redirects it to the large 24-inch reflector, providing a gradual light fall-off. This is what enables the increased shadow definition. This also produces the specular highlights (circular highlights that look like donuts) at close distances that are highly desired in beauty and fashion photography.

Silver Interior. This is the silver interior version of the Beauty Dish that maximizes output without contaminating color.

Carrying Case. This rental includes a carrying case for easy transport.

Compatibility. This modifier’s insert is designed to work with the Westcott FJ80 Universal Touchscreen 80Ws Speedlight as well as Profoto Air-TTL Studio lights, like the A1X and A10 lines.
