Nanlite Rapid 60 FM Mount Softbox
The Nanlite SB-FM-RP60 Rapid 60 is a portable parabolic softbox with a quick-release mechanism and a convertible mounting system for Nanlite FM Mount and Bowens Mount lights. Its 60cm-class design, reflective silver interior and two supplied diffusers make it a practical choice for producing soft, controlled light in the studio or on location.
The Perfect Rapid Softbox For
- Photographers and filmmakers who regularly move between locations
- Portrait, headshot and interview lighting
- Content creators who need a fast, compact lighting setup
- Nanlite FM Mount users who also work with Bowens Mount fixtures
- Crews looking to reduce modifier setup and packing time
Key Features
- Rapid-release mechanism enables quick setup and collapse
- Compatible with Nanlite FM Mount fixtures
- Supplied Bowens Mount speed ring expands compatibility to suitable Bowens Mount lights
- Reflective silver interior helps use the fixture's output efficiently
- Standard and Medium diffusers provide alternative levels of diffusion

- Integrated speed ring, rods and fabric create a stable one-piece assembly
- Durable Oxford-fabric construction suits regular location use
Fast Setup for Efficient Shoots
The rapid-latch mechanism allows the softbox to be opened with a simple pull-and-press action. When the shoot is finished, operating the release lets the modifier collapse quickly, avoiding the need to insert and remove individual rods each time.
FM and Bowens Mount Compatibility
The Rapid 60 can be fitted directly to compatible Nanlite FM Mount lights. Replacing its original speed ring with the supplied Bowens Mount speed ring allows it to be used with suitable Bowens Mount LED lights and studio flash heads. The lighting fixture is sold separately.
Shape the Light to Suit the Scene
Use the Standard Diffuser for broad, soft illumination or the Medium Diffuser when a different balance of softness and transmission is required. The included fabric grid can be attached to reduce lateral spill and keep the light directed towards the subject.
