FAQs
What size is the Manfrotto Ezybox Pro Octa Medium?
The Ezybox Pro Octa Medium has a diameter of 80cm.
Does this product come with a speedring?
The Ezybox Pro Octa Medium itself does not typically include a speedring. You will need a compatible speedring for your specific light source to attach the modifier.
Is this product rebranded from Lastolite?
Yes, Lastolite By Manfrotto products have been rebranded to Manfrotto. You may receive a product with either branding, but the product itself is identical.
How do I assemble the Ezybox Pro Octa Medium?
It involves unfolding the main body and inserting the four support rods into the frame and modifier edges.
Can I use this with any camera flash?
It is designed for studio flashes, flashguns, and Elinchrom Ranger Quadra RX lights. For standard camera flashes (speedlights), you will need an appropriate adapter or bracket.
Are there options to control light spill?
Yes, optional grids are available for the Ezybox Pro Octa series that help to control light spill and direct the light more precisely.
What is the main advantage of using an octabox?
Octaboxes, like the Ezybox Pro, produce soft, diffused light and create pleasing octagonal catchlights in portraits, which are often considered more natural and aesthetically pleasing than square catchlights.
Troubleshooting
Modifier does not hold its shape.
Ensure all 4 support rods are fully inserted into their respective slots on the frame and the edges of the modifier.
Light is uneven or has hot spots.
Check that the diffusion material is correctly positioned and that the light source is centered within the modifier. Consider using an optional grid for more controlled light.
Difficulty attaching to light stand or flash.
Confirm you are using the correct speedring or adapter for your light source and modifier. Ensure all connections are secure.
