Ideal for use with LED studio lights, speedlites, and studio strobes, this durable octagonal softbox produces soft, wrap-around illumination with natural-looking catchlights—perfect for portraits, weddings, fashion, and events both in the studio and on location.

Lighter and Easier Than Ever Before

The PiXAPRO FlatPak II Series features a redesigned version of its patented hinged opening mechanism with reduced tension, making the softbox quicker and easier to deploy compared to previous FlatPak models. Its lighter overall construction also improves portability, making it an excellent choice for photographers and videographers working on the move.

Quick-Release Speedring System

The FlatPak II softboxes feature a new quick-release speedring mechanism, allowing users to swap speedring fittings quickly and without tools. This makes the FlatPak II ideal for creatives working with multiple lighting systems and modifier mounts across different brands.

Highly Reflective Interior

The 120cm FlatPak II features a highly reflective Profi-Line silver interior designed to maximise light efficiency while producing a softer, more even spread of illumination. This helps photographers achieve brighter output with smooth, flattering light quality.

Perfect for LED Lights and Speedlites

With the opening mechanism positioned externally, there are no internal components obstructing the light path. This makes the FlatPak II particularly well-suited for directional light sources such as COB LED studio lights and speedlites, ensuring optimal light transmission and efficiency.

Advanced Diffusion Material

The FlatPak II uses premium-quality diffusion fabric that is:

  • Heat resistant up to 200°C
  • Crease-resistant
  • Designed for improved light scattering and even diffusion
  • Highly light-efficient for maximum transmission
  • Treated to resist discolouration and maintain accurate colour temperature

This ensures consistent, reliable lighting performance across long-term use.

Durable Construction

Constructed from hardwearing, professional-grade materials, the FlatPak II 120cm softbox features eight durable rods securely stitched into the lining for long-lasting reliability. This sturdy design ensures stability during repeated setup and transport.

Dual Diffusion & Honeycomb Grid

The FlatPak II includes two layers of diffusion fabric that work together to create a softer, more homogeneous quality of light while reducing harsh shadows and specular highlights. A detachable honeycomb grid is also included, allowing photographers to narrow the spread of light and minimise unwanted spill onto the background or surrounding areas.

Why Choose an Octagonal Softbox?

Octagonal softboxes, often referred to as octaboxes, are highly popular among portrait and wedding photographers due to their ability to create natural, circular catchlights in the eyes. They also produce broad, wrap-around lighting that flatters facial features and creates smooth, professional-looking illumination for both people and animals.

Slim Carry Case Included

The PiXAPRO FlatPak II 120cm softbox includes a slim-profile carry case for convenient transportation and compact storage, making it easy to take on location shoots or pack away neatly between sessions.

The PiXAPRO FlatPak II 120cm Octagonal Softbox combines portability, durability, and premium light quality into one highly versatile lighting modifier. With its lightweight quick-deploy design, quick-release speedring system, reflective interior, dual diffusion layers, and included honeycomb grid, it delivers beautifully soft and flattering illumination for professional photography and video production. Whether you're working in the studio or shooting on location, the FlatPak II is an ideal lighting solution for photographers and filmmakers who need fast setup and reliable performance.
