Nanlite Rapid 90 Parabolic Softbox SB-RP90 – 90cm parabolic softbox with quick latch and Bowens mount

Compact, fast-to-deploy lighting for small studios and location shoots

The Nanlite Rapid 90 Parabolic Softbox delivers controlled, soft illumination in a compact form. With a 90cm diameter, it fits tighter setups while still producing intensified, even light suitable for portraits, close-ups, and precise lighting arrangements.

Rapid setup with an intuitive latch system

The Rapid 90 uses an improved mounting system with an intuitive latch design so you can assemble or collapse the softbox quickly. In practice, you spend less time setting up and more time shooting, which helps when schedules are tight or you move between locations frequently.

Light quality: intensified yet soft output

Thanks to its parabolic shape and premium reflective fabric, the softbox concentrates light while preserving softness. As a result, you get smooth illumination with minimal falloff across your subject—ideal when you need controlled highlights and gentle shadows for portraits and close work.

Durable construction built for regular use

The Rapid 90 features a robust aluminum frame combined with reinforced stitching. This upgraded build quality improves long-term reliability in demanding shooting environments while maintaining the lightweight portability needed for both studio and on-location work.

Universal compatibility with Bowens mount

Equipped with a Bowens mount, the Rapid 90 fits a wide range of fixtures. For example, it is compatible with Nanlite’s Forza and FS-series lights, and it will work with other Bowens-mount fixtures you already own. This versatility makes it easy to integrate into existing lighting kits.

Designed for easy transport

The softbox folds down and fits into the supplied carrying bag, so you can move between studios and locations with minimal fuss. Because it balances sturdy construction with lightweight materials, it stays practical for on-the-go filmmakers and photographers.
