The PiXAPRO FlatPak II 45 Compact Octagonal Softbox is a lightweight, quick-deploy lighting modifier designed for photographers and videographers who need fast setup and professional-quality lighting. Featuring a redesigned hinged-opening mechanism and a new quick-release speedring system, the FlatPak II is easier and faster to use than ever before. Producing soft, wrap-around illumination with natural-looking catchlights, it is ideal for portraits, weddings, fashion, events, and studio photography.

Faster, Easier Setup

The FlatPak II features a redesigned patented hinged-opening mechanism with reduced tension, making it quicker and easier to deploy compared to previous FlatPak models. Its lighter overall weight also improves portability for photographers working on location.

Quick-Release Speedring System

The updated quick-release speedring mechanism allows you to swap modifier fittings quickly and easily without the need for tools. This makes the FlatPak II ideal for creators who work with multiple lighting systems and brands.

Highly Reflective Interior

The 45cm FlatPak II softbox features a reflective Profi-Line silver interior, engineered to maximise light efficiency while delivering soft, even illumination with minimal light loss.

Optimised for LED Lights & Speedlites

With the opening mechanism positioned externally, there are no internal obstructions blocking light output. This design makes the FlatPak II especially effective with directional light sources such as COB LED lights and speedlites.

Professional Diffusion Materials

The FlatPak II uses premium diffusion fabrics designed for high light transmission and even light spread. The material is:

Heat resistant up to 200°C
Crease-resistant
Designed with a diffusion grid pattern for smoother illumination
Treated to resist discolouration that could affect colour accuracy

Durable Construction

Constructed from hard-wearing materials, the FlatPak II features eight durable support rods securely stitched into the lining to ensure strength and reliability during frequent professional use.

Dual Diffusion & Honeycomb Grid

Supplied with both inner and outer diffusion layers, the FlatPak II produces soft, flattering light with reduced contrast and smoother shadows. It also includes a honeycomb grid for tighter beam control and reduced light spill.

Why Choose an Octagonal Softbox?

Octagonal softboxes create natural-looking circular catchlights and broad wrap-around lighting, making them especially popular for portrait, beauty, wedding, and animal photography where flattering illumination is essential.
