Broncolor Octabox 150 with Speedring
$300.00 /day
A professional, large 150cm (5ft) octagonal softbox. Includes an original Broncolor speedring, delivering exceptionally soft, wrap-around light with beautiful, natural circular catchlights.
A 10% damage waiver fee will be applied to your order in the rental basket unless proof of own insurance can be supplied.
The Broncolor Octabox 150 is a premium, large-scale octagonal light shaper engineered for commercial, fashion, and portrait photographers who demand an immense, wrapping soft source. Measuring 150cm (approx. 5 feet) in diameter, its generous 8-sided geometry beautifully mimics the natural, enveloping character of the sun or a large circular skylight. This expansive surface area allows the light to wrap seamlessly around full-length standing models or small groups, softening skin textures and creating a natural, elegant fall-off. Designed with Broncolor’s proprietary high-efficiency internal silver coating, it guarantees perfectly homogeneous light distribution across the entire front diffusion panel, completely eliminating center hot spots. It is highly favored for high-end lookbooks, editorial portraits, and commercial beauty setups where premium, natural circular catchlights are mandatory. This rental package includes an original Broncolor speedring, ensuring a rugged, secure 360-degree rotating connection onto any standard Broncolor lamp head or monolight.
Applicable Scenarios:
-
Fashion Lookbooks & Editorial Portraiture: Deliver flawless, wrapping, and highly flattering illumination over full-length model setups, ensuring garments and skin look pristine.
-
Commercial Beauty & Portrait Photography: Create gorgeous, large circular catchlights in the subject’s eyes, perfectly replicating high-end daylight studio aesthetics.
-
Large Group & Family Shoots: Provide an expansive pool of uniform soft light that blankets multiple subjects simultaneously without harsh fall-off or uneven hot spots.
-
Large 150cm Octagonal Profile: Broad 5ft diameter provides exceptional wrap-around quality and highly directional yet soft light characteristics.

Flawless Light Homogeneity: Premium internal reflective materials and an intermediate inner diffuser cloth guarantee a perfectly uniform output from edge to edge.
-
Original Broncolor Speedring Included: Features a native, heavy-duty Broncolor speedring for secure locking and smooth 360-degree rotation on set.
-
Strictly Color Neutral: Meticulously selected fabrics ensure that the modifier does not cause any color shifting, preserving the legendary color temperature consistency of your Broncolor strobes.
-
Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with premium, high-elasticity structural rods and robust sockets to handle high-power studio strobes and continuous modeling lamps.
-
Removable Dual-Layer Diffusers: Both the inner and outer diffusers can be detached independently, allowing you to fine-tune the contrast, edge definition, and hardness of the beam.

(Note: This rental item includes the softbox modifier and speedring only. It does not include lamp heads, flash units, light stands, or fabric grids. Please rent those separately as needed.)
-
Q: Is the speedring included with this Octabox compatible with standard Bowens mount fixtures?
A: No. This rental unit comes equipped strictly with an original Broncolor bayonet speedring, meaning it connects natively to Broncolor flash heads (such as the Pulso G, Pulso L, MobiLED) and monolights (like the Siros series). Please contact us if you need to rent a specific speedring adapter to convert it to a Bowens mount.
-
Q: Can I easily rotate the Octabox after mounting it on a light stand?
A: Yes! The included native Broncolor speedring allows for a full 360-degree smooth rotation. Even though it is a symmetrical 8-sided circle, rotating the box allows you to align the structural corner rods perfectly to clear obstacles like boom lines, flags, or low ceilings.
-
Q: Do I need a heavy-duty stand for a softbox of this size?
A: Yes. Due to its substantial 150cm diameter, this softbox creates a significant amount of front-heavy leverage once mounted on a professional studio head. For safety and absolute stability on set, we strongly advise using a sturdy C-Stand (properly sandbagged) or a heavy-duty Combo Stand rather than standard lightweight aluminum photo stands.
-
Q: How is the rental fee calculated?
A: The rental fee is calculated on a 24-hour basis per rental period.
-
Q: Is a deposit required?
A: Yes, a corresponding deposit is required for all equipment rentals.
-
Q: What payment methods are accepted for the deposit?
A: We accept credit card authorization for the deposit, which is fast and convenient.
