The OctoDome® nxt: extra small
Location Kit is ideal for wedding, editorial and fast moving event
shooting. Included in this kit are the StarFire® ShoeMount
Flash and FlashFire™ Wireless kit, enabling the photographer to fire
off-camera flash from distances of up to 160 feet.
Photographers will appreciate the ability to set the OctoDome®
on the included LiteStand or attach it to our popular LiteReach™
(included) for an assistant to follow a moving subject. The LiteReach™
can also be used as a ‘low-boy’ stand for tabletop shooting or lighting
backgrounds.
The OctoDome® nxt: extra small has very different
characteristics than the many other SoftBoxes in the Photoflex®
line, which makes it a very powerful tool for achieving a distinctive
look when used alone or with other lighting products. The small size and
deep profile (approx. 18 inches across and 9 inches deep) makes it
perform like a traditional parabolic reflector. Thanks to its removable
face and baffle, it can be used to achieve three distinct lighting
styles for key and hair lighting applications: Specular (remove baffle
and face), Softened (use baffle only), Diffused output (use baffle and
face).
The OctoDome® nxt is built with our heat resistant fabric and
can be adapted, with optional speed ring, for use with our StarLite®
tungsten fixture with lamps up to 500 watts.
