WestcottRapid Box Bowens Switch Insert (For FJ400, Bowens-S Type, Godox)

The 4 mounting screws are hidden under the material. I found using a hook tool to pull the material back gave me plenty of access to remove 2 screws and just loosen the other 2. Old mounting ring slid out and I was able to slide this in place. The material is nice and snug.

Once installed, this insert worked perfectly with a Godox S-type Bracket Bowens Mount Holder. Installation should have been easy; you just remove four phillips-head screws on the back of the Wescott Rapid Box Octa and swap out the default speedlite mount with the Bowens mount. The problem with my Rapid Box Octa is that the umbrella fabric was not positioned symetrically on the back of the unit, so the fabric was covering two of the four screw heads. It was difficult to push-pull the fabric away from the screw heads. I managed to do it without tearing the fabric, but it wasn’t easy, and I had to find blunt makeshift tools to help stretch the fabric away from the screw heads. Installation ideally would take about five minutes, but it took well over 30 minutes for me.This is not the fault of the insert, and my Rapid Box Octa is not one of the "Switch" models, which are allegedly designed to easily swap out different mounts. Installation probably would have been easier if I had a Rapid Box Switch Octa-S Softbox.

Bought three of these for Westcott Rapid Box Switch soft boxes. They do their job just fine.

I needed to switch my Westcott light modifier from a flash mount to a Bowens mount and this was the perfect solution!

Works well with the wescott beauty dish

I ordered this in the hopes that I could replace the speedlight mount on my first generation 26” Rapidbox. It fit perfectly. Just removed 4 screws and converted it to a Bowen’s mount. Very happy.

Westcott wasn't exactly honest when they created the rapidbox switch in the case that they didn't say it's essentially the same old rapidbox. By taking off 4 screws, you can switch the mount on the old rapidbox to this mount so that it works with flashes compatible with bowen. The price of this insert is a bit steep, but it's the cheapest and easiest option for my AD200.

Converted my old first generation 26” Rapidbox into a Bowens mount. I know this is not the intended purpose but it works flawlessly. Attached to a ad200 or ad600 strobe.
