FAQs

What Profoto lights are compatible with this insert?

This insert is designed for Profoto Standard mount monolights and flash heads. It is not compatible with the Profoto A1, A1X, or A10 series lights, which require a different specific insert.

Can I use this insert with any Westcott softbox?

No, this insert is specifically designed for Westcott Rapid Box Switch and Beauty Dish Switch modifiers that feature the Switch mounting system.

How do I attach my Profoto light to the insert?

After the insert is securely locked into the Switch modifier, align your Profoto flash head with the mount on the insert and attach it as you would any other Profoto-mount accessory.

Is this product durable?

Yes, the insert is constructed from durable, all-metal materials to ensure longevity and reliability during frequent use.

Can I switch between different brands of lights using this system?

This specific insert is for Profoto. However, Westcott offers a range of Switch Inserts for various popular lighting brands, allowing you to use the same Switch modifier with different light sources by changing the insert.

Do I need any tools to attach the insert?

No, the Westcott Rapid Box Switch Inserts are designed for tool-free setup. They slide and lock into place using a simple thumb-lock mechanism.

Troubleshooting

Insert does not lock securely.

Ensure the insert is fully seated in the modifier's rear tabs and that the sliding thumb-lock is engaged completely. Check for any obstructions in the lock mechanism or on the modifier's tabs.

Profoto light does not fit onto the insert.

Verify that you are using the Profoto Standard insert and that your Profoto light head has the corresponding Profoto Standard mount. Ensure no protective caps are still attached to the light's mount.

Modifier feels loose after attachment.

Re-check the security of the sliding thumb-lock. Ensure the insert is the correct model for your specific Profoto light and Westcott modifier combination.
