The OCTA 150CM is a professional 150 cm (5 ft) octagonal softbox engineered to deliver beautifully soft, wrap-around light ideal for portraiture, fashion, and group photography. Its deep shape, recessed front panel, and highly reflective silver interior give photographers precise control over light spread and quality, while the double-layered diffusers ensure a flawlessly even output every time.
Built for working photographers who demand reliability on location and in the studio, the OCTA 150CM features color-coded rods and Velcro attachments for tool-free assembly and disassembly in seconds. Compatible with more than 20 major flash brands via standard RFi Speedring adapters (sold separately), this softbox is one of the most versatile light-shaping tools you can add to your kit — and it packs away neatly into its included labeled soft bag for easy transport.

Frequently asked questions
Does the OCTA 150CM come with a speedring, and which flash brands does it support?
No, the speedring is sold separately. However, the OCTA 150CM is compatible with more than 20 major flash brands through a wide range of RFi Speedring adapters, making it suitable for most professional lighting setups.
Is the 150 cm Octa suitable for location work, or is it mainly a studio softbox?
It works excellently in both environments. Its lightweight, compact construction and quick color-coded rod assembly make it a practical choice for location shoots — such as outdoor portraiture or on-set fashion work — as well as studio use.
Can I control light spill even further with the OCTA 150CM?
Yes. While the deep shape and recessed front panel already provide precise control over light spill, you can add an optional softgrid accessory (sold separately) to further narrow the beam angle and keep light off the background for a more dramatic result.
