Size Matters
The MagBox Pro 42 Octa more than doubles the effective lighting area of the original MagBox 24 Octa and, as all photographer knows, size is everything when it comes to soft light. The MagBox Pro 42 Octa was optimized to give photographers both the portability of a smaller 36” octabox, as well as the soft light you expect from a larger 48” octabox. It is equally adept in large studio lighting setups as it is being carried out on location.
Instagrid
The MagBox Pro Grid magnetizes to the MagBox instantly and effortlessly, saving photographers from the annoying and clumsy experience of other velcro-style softboxes.
The instant snap-on sound when the MagBox Pro Grid attaches feels automatic, secure, and is more satisfying than a perfect knuckle crack! The first time you use it, you’ll probably wonder “where have you been all my life?”
Not only is it easy to use every single time, the MagBox Pro Grid design is beautiful, durable, and even high-tech. The patent-pending design creatively weaves a lightweight fabric with laser-cut precision and thermo-welded magnets around the edge to make the most dialed-in and gorgeous grid design you could ever imagine—all while delivering the light-control goodness photographers expect from a softbox grid.
Finally, form meets function.
Zip-On, Zip-Off
An industry first, the integrated zip-on diffuser on the MagBox Pro is something you kind of have to experience for yourself to truly appreciate. As simple as it sounds, this sweet zip-on zip-off action makes your MagBox totally easy and frustration-free. The first time you try it, you’ll ask yourself “why didn’t I think of that?”
Want to change up your look and go diffusion free? The zip-off diffuser tucks neatly away into an integrated inside pocket in seconds so you’ll never have to worry about losing your diffuser or figuring out where to store it—it’s always ready to go.

First Gel-Able Softbox
Before the MagBox, adding colour to a large softbox was next to impossible. The MagBox’s patented design ingeniously adapts gels to larger softbox modifiers for the first time ever, which made it the first gel-able softbox.
Simply pop one of the rigid MagBox Gels into the frame, and just like that you’ve got a colourful, soft light. A zipper built right in to the side of the MagBox makes it easier for you to swap out the coloured gels during your shoot without removing the diffuser or fabric grid.
