Alternative to Westcott 26 inch rapidbox?

[doublemint76]

Been looking at the Westcott 26 in octagonal rapidbox but it comes with a hefty price tag. £150

Is it really worth it or can anyone recommend a cheaper alternative? An octa box for use with a speedlight basically.

Cheers

The rapidbox is a worth while expense. I set mine up at every wedding as my main ocf fill. Pondering a couple of the strip boxes too. I don't consider it expensive for the use it gets.

Maybe a Phottix Luna and a Godox flash-bracket.

Just took the plunge and bought the rapidbox seen as it had dropped from £150 to £120 on Amazon, also ordered the deflector plate.
