Yes, the Rapid Box Switch system uses interchangeable mount inserts, and you will need to purchase the insert that is compatible with your specific brand and model of strobe, speedlite, or monolight.

Yes, the diffusion panels are made from premium, all-natural, unbleached nylon fabric, which softens the light without altering its color temperature.
