Compact and Portable
At just 40cm across, the Octa 15 provides useful light diffusion while remaining small enough for highly portable lighting kits. When you're finished shooting, it folds down to approximately 11 × 33cm, making it easy to fit into a camera bag or carry-on for travel and location work.
Quick-Open Design
The Octa 15 is designed to get you shooting quickly, with a quick-open construction that requires no separate assembly. The Westcott Twist Lock mount also allows the softbox to be securely attached or removed in seconds, making it particularly useful when working in fast-paced environments.
Soft, Even Illumination
A reflective silver interior helps maximise the output of your light, while the integrated 1-stop front diffusion creates smooth, even illumination. Its octagonal shape also produces attractive rounded catchlights, making the Octa 15 particularly well suited to portraits and headshots.
Precise Light Control
The included 50° egg crate grid helps reduce unwanted spill and directs the light more precisely towards your subject. This gives you greater control over contrast and background illumination when shooting portraits, products, interviews, and other controlled lighting setups.
Compatible Westcott Lights
The Twist Lock mount is compatible with the Westcott FJ100 Strobe, FJ100 Speedlight, FJ80 II Speedlight, FJ80-SE Speedlight, FJ200 Strobe, and L60-B LED, making the Octa 15 a versatile addition to a portable Westcott lighting system.

TFC's Verdict
The Octa 15 is a great match for Westcott's smaller portable lights. It's compact enough to keep in your location kit, quick to set up, and provides a noticeable improvement over using a bare flash or LED. The included grid is particularly useful when you need tighter control over where the light falls, while the Twist Lock mount makes swapping modifiers fast and straightforward.
