Product Description
A Versatile Light Modifier
With a 28" square construction, we designed the Medium Apollo with versatility in mind. This light modifier is large enough to act as a key light source for headshots or product images, yet small enough to act as an accent light, giving you a range of lighting options.
For Speedlites and Strobes
Do you shoot with both types of off-camera flash? Thanks to the Apollo and Halo’s versatile umbrella shaft, these modifiers can be instantly paired with both speedlites and strobes. With these softboxes, you won’t be confined to using a single lighting style or forced into buying various modifiers.
Direct and Soften Light
By directing your light source toward the Apollo’s included diffusion front, you’ll create drastic highlights with a subtle hot spot. By directing your unit towards the back of Apollo, you’ll create an even spread of light with softer shadows. You can even pick up an optional 40-degree Egg Crate Grid for more light control options.
Instant Setup
With flexible framework and convenient umbrella-style design, these modifiers open and collapse quickly for effortless setup and storage.
Say Goodbye to Speedrings and Rods
Unlike most softboxes, these modifiers are constructed with an umbrella-style frame. Not only does this allow for the instant assembly, but it also allows for quick strobe mounting without bulky speedrings or adapters.
Premium Diffusion Fabric
Our diffusion panels are constructed with a premium, all-natural unbleached nylon fabric. Unlike processed diffusion fabrics, these diffusers will soften your light source without altering its color temperature.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Just got this recently and the first impression is that it is in fact, decently built. It has an umbrella frame with each corner having a pair of 'rods', so it feels sturdy. The zippers and stitching feel solid, but only time will tell, as mine has only been used a few times thus far.
Other reviewers stated it's cheap, but you do get what you pay for. Coming in around a hundred bucks, this would be considered a mid-grade soft-box for the size, so I aware of this going in. It doesn't feel cheap, but I know it's not the premium model, at a premium price.I found it to be of good value.
Overall:
It works great, feels sturdy, sets up quickly, and most of all, the quality of light it produces is spectacular. After the results of the very first test shots, I'm 100% happy purchasing this.
Regarding Tilting:
You'll definitely need other modifiers in addition to a simple light stand if you need the freedom for full tilt, otherwise, expect a standard range be around +/- 20 degrees, depending on how you choke it.
Unboxing the unit was my first disappointment - no cover - if you buy a $5 normal umbrella to guard against the rain, it comes with a cover, and considering this one is $120... that soon became the smallest issue.. I used the Westcott 28" only once, during the shoot the Manfrotto light stand tipped over and the box landed in the soft grass, the umbrella structure collapsed and broke, I was totally amazed that the product was made of such substandard materials that one single small fall would break it - I don't understand why a company would use materials, I know manufacturing, and an umbrella like this could not cost more than $20 to make - an added $5 in cost would have secures Westcott a great reputation and more customers to come..unfortunately, my recommendation is DON'T BUY until the manufacturer has fixed the engineering.
Kind regards

Für den Fall, dass man etwas stärker ausleuchten möchte einfach die Blitzstreuscheibe des Blitzes herunterklappen.
Und braucht man mal etwas härteres Licht und hat keinen silbernen Schirm dabei, wird einfach der Stoffeinsatz (per Klett befestigt) herausgetrennt.
Bisher auch sehr robust und gut transportierbar.
