Rent NowPhottix REX55 Octagonal Softbox (22″)
The Phottix REX55 is a professional-grade, 8-sided octagonal softbox designed for photographers who demand natural, wrap-around light in a compact and highly portable form factor. Measuring 22″ (55cm) in diameter, this “octa” is the ideal light shaper for headshots, beauty photography, and location portraits. Its unique eight-sided geometry produces a soft, even illumination that mimics the flattering qualities of large-scale studio modifiers while remaining small enough to manage in tight spaces or on-location shoots.
Signature Octagonal Light Quality
Natural Circular Catchlights: Unlike square or rectangular softboxes, the 8-sided design of the REX55 creates beautiful, near-circular catchlights in a subject’s eyes. This mimics the appearance of the sun or a natural round light source, making it a favorite for high-end portraiture and fashion work.
Superior Wrap-Around Effect: The octagonal shape pushes light from more angles than a standard four-sided softbox. This results in a softer transition from highlights to shadows, beautifully wrapping around your subject’s features to minimize skin imperfections.
Dual-Layer Diffusion: Equipped with both an internal and an external diffusion panel, the REX55 effectively eliminates “hot spots” from your strobe. This ensures a perfectly uniform light fall-off across the entire front face of the softbox.
Professional Build & Performance
High-Efficiency Silver Interior: The interior is lined with a premium, high-reflectivity silver material designed to maximize your flash’s output while maintaining strict color neutrality for accurate skin tones.
Heat-Resistant Fabric: Built to withstand the rigors of professional use, the softbox is constructed from durable, heat-resistant materials that can handle the high-wattage modeling lights found on professional studio strobes.
Universal Bowens S-Mount: This softbox comes standard with a Bowens-style speedring, making it compatible with a massive range of professional strobes, monolights, and COB LED lights.
Key Features
Compact & Portable: At 22″, this softbox is small enough to be handheld by an assistant on-location while providing a significantly larger light source than a bare flash or a small speedlight modifier.
Heavy-Duty Construction: The 8-rod steel frame ensures the softbox maintains its tension and aerodynamic shape, even when shooting outdoors in breezy conditions.
Included Carrying Case: The REX55 folds down quickly and fits into the included travel bag, protecting your diffusion panels from dust and damage during transit.
