It features a new, redesigned hinged opening mechanism as well as a new quick-release speedring, making setup a quick and easy process. Perfect for LED Studio light fixtures, speedlites, and studio strobes, this durable octagonal softbox produces natural catchlights and wrap-around illumination. The perfect lighting solution for portraits, weddings, fashion, and events, both on location and in the studio

Lighter and Even Easier Than Before

The PiXAPRO FlatPak II-Series softboxes' revolutionary, patented hinged-opening mechanism has been redesigned with reduced tension, making them even easier to deploy than the original FlatPak Models. They’re also lighter in weight, making them even more portable. Perfect for photographers on the move.

New Quick-Release Speedring Mechanism

The PiXAPRO FlatPakII softboxes feature a new quick-release speedring mechanism, allowing you to quickly and easily swap speedring fittings without the need for any additional tools. This makes them ideal for photographers, videographers, and cinematographers who work with multiple lighting brands with different modifier mounts.

Highly Light-Efficient

The 45cm FlatPak II softbox features a highly reflective Profi-Line interior, designed to maximise light output from your light source while producing a softer, more even spread of light.

Perfect For LED Lights and Speedlites

With the opening mechanism positioned on the outside of the PiXAPRO FlatPak II softbox, there’s nothing inside to obstruct light from your LED or strobe. This makes it particularly well-suited to inherently directional light sources such as speedlites and COB LED studio lights.

Light-Efficient Diffusion Material

  • Heat resistant up to 200°C
  • Crease-resistant
  • Features: Grid design, which scatters the light more efficiently for more even diffusion
  • Made from light-efficient fabric for increased light transmission through the fabric
  • The fabric has been treated to prevent discolouration, which could otherwise affect the colour temperature of your lighting.

Hardwearing Construction

The PiXAPRO FlatPakII 45cm softbox is made from high-quality, hard-wearing fabric and features eight durable rods that have been securely stitched into the lining. This ensures the rods stay firmly in place when in use.

Dual Diffusion Layers and Honeycomb Grid

The softbox comes with two layers of diffusion, which produce a softer, more homogenous quality of light. It also reduces specularity and softens harsh shadows for more flattering illumination. It also includes a honeycomb grid that attaches easily to the front, narrowing the light spread and preventing unwanted spill onto the background.

Why Use An Octagonal Softbox?

Octagonal softboxes (also known as octaboxes) are a popular choice among wedding and portrait photographers. They produce flattering, round, more natural-looking catchlights compared to catchlights produced by square/rectangular softboxes, which can often look artificial. Octaboxes also produce broad, "wrap-around" lighting, making them ideal for photographing people or animals.

Slim-Profiled Carry Case

The PiXAPRO 45cm quick-release FlatPak II softbox also ships with a slim-profiled carry case, making it great for portability and storage.

The PiXAPRO FlatPak II 45cm Softbox combines portability, speed, and superior lighting quality, all in one package. With its lightweight, easy-to-deploy hinged design, quick-release speedring, highly reflective interior, dual diffusion layers, and honeycomb grid, it delivers soft,  flattering illumination. Ideal portraits, weddings, and studio photography. Built to last with durable materials and a slim-profiled carry case, the FlatPak II is the ultimate lighting solution for photographers on the move.
