Set up a controlled soft source in seconds with the Nanlite Rapid 60 FM Mount Softbox. Its 60 cm parabolic design, two diffusion layers and included eggcrate grid give compact Nanlite fixtures a softer, more directional output for interviews, portraits, tabletop work and small sets.

Product Overview

The Rapid 60 opens with a pull-and-press action and collapses with a single release, so crews can move faster than with a traditional rod-by-rod softbox. The speed ring folds flat for transport, while the silver interior helps maintain output and reduce colour shift.

The installed FM mount fits compatible compact Nanlite Forza, FC and FS fixtures. An included Bowens mount speed ring extends the same softbox to compatible Bowens fixtures without buying a second modifier.

Key Features

  • 60 cm parabolic softbox for compact key, fill and product lighting
  • Rapid-latch design opens in seconds and collapses in about one second
  • FM mount installed, plus Bowens mount speed ring included
  • Standard and medium diffusion layers for different levels of softness
  • Eggcrate grid adds direction and reduces spill
  • Reflective silver interior and flat-folding speed ring

How It Compares

Choose the Rapid 60 when portability and fast setup matter more than maximum source size. The Nanlite Rapid 90 produces a larger source for broader coverage, but it takes more space on location.

The Rapid 60 differs from a Bowens-only softbox because it mounts directly to compact FM mount lights and still includes a Bowens speed ring. That makes it a practical bridge for crews using both compact and full-size fixtures.

Who Is This For?

It suits solo creators, interview crews, photographers and small production teams that need a soft modifier that travels compactly and changes quickly between FM mount and Bowens fixtures.

Who Should Choose Something Else?

Choose a larger softbox when you need a broader source for full-body work or a wider group. Choose a hard reflector, Fresnel or projection attachment when throw, sharp shadows or precise beam shaping matter more than softness.
