Overview
The Nanlite Rapid 90 Parabolic Softbox (90cm / 35") is a professional-grade light modifier designed for filmmakers, photographers, and studio creators who need fast setup, controlled soft light, and efficient light shaping in a compact, portable format.
Featuring a deep 16-sided parabolic design, the Rapid 90 produces soft yet directional light with natural wrap-around quality and smooth fall-off. This makes it ideal for portrait photography, interviews, fashion shoots, and cinematic lighting setups where controlled diffusion and flattering skin tones are required.
The interior uses a silver reflective lining, increasing light output efficiency while maintaining consistent colour temperature and reducing unnecessary light loss. This helps produce a brighter, more focused soft light compared to standard shallow softboxes.
A key feature of the Rapid series is its quick-open latch system, allowing the softbox to be fully assembled or collapsed in seconds. This makes it highly practical for fast-paced production environments where speed and efficiency matter on set.
The softbox includes dual diffusion panels, allowing users to adjust the softness and contrast of the light depending on the desired look. It also includes an egg-crate grid for improved spill control and more precise directional shaping.
Built with Bowens S-mount compatibility, the Rapid 90 works with a wide range of Nanlite fixtures including the FC, Forza, and FS series, as well as other Bowens-compatible LED and strobe lights.
Designed for both studio and location work, the Rapid 90 balances portability, speed, and professional light quality in a reliable modifier system suitable for demanding production environments.
