I have the apollo 28in Westcott softbox and as much as i love it i hear it doesnt accept grids?
Someone please correct me if im wrong and point me in the right direction?

If not, whats the best solution to go for. Im looking at using the softbox with speedlights and would want a 28in, or better yet, a larger one, that accepts a grid.

If anyone knows of any please let me know.
Cheers :D

I dont seem to see anywhere that stock them in the UK? Do they do 36in speedlight softboxes. Are they good?
Thanks

The Lastolite Ezybox now accepts a grid. You can retrofit older models too.

This is the 24in softbox i have. I also have the Ezybox 15in but its pretty small so dont really use it that much

The Cheetah Qbox 24 comes with a grid and does a very good job. There is a long thread on it in this forum.
