The MagBox system was designed from the ground up by photographers, for photographers, to be the simplest, easiest, and fastest softbox to set up, mount, and gel, for both speedlite flashes and large strobes.
MagBox Pro 42 Octa
If you love soft light, then you’ll love the MagBox Pro 42” Octa. This big new Octabox has time-saving features like the super-fast zip on diffuser, integrated built-in storage pocket, magnet attaching honeycomb grid for light control, a simple setup, and integrated gel slot, making it the fastest, easiest and most awesome large octabox for photographers.
At a 42” diameter the MagBox Pro 42 Octa gives you the softness you are looking for in a package that is super fast to set up and tear down. Designed to work with speedlights or strobes, the 42 Octa is a super versatile tool that makes switching back and forth between small and large modifiers in the MagMod ecosystem a cinch. Also includes a new upgraded lightweight rip-stop material shell for extra durability.
Zip-on, zip-off
An industry first, the integrated zip-on diffuser on the MagBox Pro is something you kind of have to experience for yourself to truly appreciate. As simple as it sounds, this sweet zip-on zip-off action makes your MagBox totally easy and frustration-free. The first time you try it, you’ll ask yourself “why didn’t I think of that?” Want to change up your look and go diffusion free? The zip-off diffuser tucks neatly away into an integrated inside pocket in seconds so you’ll never have to worry about losing your diffuser or figuring out where to store it — it’s always ready to go.
First gel-able softbox
Before the MagBox, adding colour to a large softbox was next to impossible. The MagBox’s patented design ingeniously adapts gels to larger softbox modifiers for the first time ever, which made it the first gel-able softbox. Simply pop one of the rigid MagBox Gels into the frame, and just like that you’ve got a colourful, soft light. A zipper built right in the side of the MagBox makes it easier for you to swap out the coloured gels during your shoot without removing the diffuser or fabric grid.
Instagrid (sold separately)
The MagBox Pro Grid magnetizes to the MagBox instantly and effortlessly, saving photographers from the annoying and clumsy experience of other velcro-style softboxes. The instant snap-on sound when the MagBox Pro Grid attaches feels automatic, secure, and is more satisfying than a perfect knuckle crack! The first time you use it, you’ll probably wonder “where have you been all my life?” Not only is it easy to use every single time, but the MagBox Pro Grid design is also beautiful, durable, and even high-tech. The patent-pending design creatively weaves a lightweight fabric with laser-cut precision and thermo-welded magnets around the edge to make the most dialled-in and gorgeous grid design you could ever imagine—all while delivering the light-control goodness photographers expect from a softbox grid. Finally, form meets function.
All-in-one case (sold separately)
A professional softbox isn’t complete without a professional-grade storage solution. The MagBox Pro case is now wrapped in a rigid outer shell that not only makes it easier to store your MagBox Pro when not in use, but keeps it safe from negligent assistants or baggage handlers. Your MagBox Pro will thank you!
MagShoe cold-shoe bracket (sold separately)
Use the entire MagBox Pro system on the stand or take it handheld when attached to our comfortable, ergonomic, and totally awesome MagShoe 2 — the industry’s most innovative cold-shoe flash bracket, now made even stronger.
The MagShoe 2 is materially and structurally stronger than the original MagShoe, and is required for use with the larger MagBox Pro 42 Octa or MagBox Pro 36 Strip. The MagShoe 2 gets rid of ugly, uncomfortable, time-consuming knobs and brackets and redesigns the clunky cold shoe body into a simple, easy to use design.
A large squeezable button adjusts the MagShoe 2’s position and locks it in quickly at the angle you choose. Just squeeze and release. That’s it.
At the top, the MagShoe 2’s custom, durable locking mechanism tightens your flash in with a simple twist and makes sure it isn’t going anywhere.
And since we like to make things easy, this system is so simple to set up and control that it can all be used one-handed.
