Softbox Lastolite Ezybox Pro Octa Large 102 cm — octagonal studio light modifier

Lastolite Ezybox Pro Octa Large 102 cm is an octagonal softbox designed to produce soft, even illumination for portrait, fashion and product photography. Its 102 cm diameter creates broad, wraparound light and natural-looking catchlights while reducing harsh shadows. The collapsible construction and lightweight materials make the modifier suitable for both studio and on-location setups. The octagonal shape helps create a round catchlight in subjects' eyes, and the front diffusion panel and inner baffle provide controlled light falloff and uniform output when used with compatible speedlights or studio heads via an appropriate speedring or adapter.

Advantages

The softbox delivers uniform, soft lighting with reduced hotspots thanks to an inner baffle and full front diffuser. Its octagonal geometry produces pleasing catchlights and smooth transitions from highlight to shadow. The Ezybox Pro Octa Large is quick to assemble and collapse, offering portability for location work while remaining robust enough for repeated studio use. The design is lightweight, which simplifies mounting and repositioning on light stands without requiring heavy support.

Suitable for

• Portrait photography—headshots, beauty and family portraits
• Fashion and editorial shoots requiring flattering, wraparound light
• Product photography for soft, even illumination of small-to-medium items
• On-location assignments where compact, collapsible modifiers are needed
• Studio setups that require consistent, controllable diffusion with speedlights or continuous/strobe heads

Key specifications

• Shape: Octagonal softbox
• Diameter: 102 cm
• Construction: Collapsible frame with fabric outer shell
• Light control: Inner baffle and removable front diffusion panel
• Compatibility: Designed for use with speedlights and studio heads when used with a suitable speedring or adapter

How to use

Assemble the softbox by extending the collapsible frame into its octagonal shape and attaching the fabric shell. Fit the inner baffle and attach the front diffusion panel to soften the output. Mount the softbox to your flash or studio head using the correct speedring or adapter compatible with the modifier and your light. Position the light at the required distance and angle to control shadow falloff and catchlights; moving the softbox closer will increase softness and wrap, while moving it farther will tighten light and increase contrast. Secure the unit on a stable stand and adjust exposure settings on camera or power output on the light until the desired result is achieved.

Usage recommendations

For portrait work, place the Ezybox Pro Octa slightly above eye level and angled down at approximately 20–30° to produce natural catchlights and sculpting shadows. Use the inner baffle for additional diffusion when shooting reflective skin or close-ups. When using speedlights on location, ensure the adapter or speedring is properly secured and consider adding a grid for increased directionality if needed.
