Questions & Answers

JONATHAN G : This will not fit on my apurture 300dmkii. Anyone else having this issue? What the fu*#!
ANTHONY A : Hey Adorama, can we get this in a 12" x 36" dimension at some point?
NANCY P : How do you close it? I was able to assemble it just fine. There is no manual and it isn't intuitive nor does it work like other soft boxes I have.BILLY W : There is a button on the ring you held onto and pushed to open it. It doesn't really stick out far, so it's not easy to see, and it is kind of difficult to squeeze, but just go ahead and squeeze it, and it will release.JAY C : To close this, you'll need to stick your fingers between two of the rods on each side, through the velcro access slits on each side, it'll pinch your fingers, but the umbrella will close when your finger separate the rods. Granted this is a pain to close the first couple of times, but after a few times, it'll be easy. I wish lit had a standard umbrella latch like my other easy open light modifiers,JOE W : Just release it by carefully pulling the ring away from the stem and collapse it. It takes a little effort. It works exactly like the Westcott Rapid box.BARRY F : Take off the silk and pull up on metal ring.ANDREW M : Slide the center ring toward you (assuming you’re looking from the large opening/diffuser side) and off the central post and it’ll collapse neatly.

Great value for money!

Great modifier for the price. Easy to set up, and great all rounder for shaping light. I like taking it with me with my portable lighting kit for headshots.

Perfect. Well??almost.

These do exactly what they should and set up easily. I just don't care that they're lock with a screw type of bolt. It means one more piece that can come up missing at some point

A fine light modifier and a good value

Nothing's perfect. But for the money this product is pretty good. Mine was delivered yesterday four days earlier than anticipated. Very well packed for shipping. I spent 3 hours working with it. Materials and manufacturing appear spot on for its price point. Setup was straight forward, no hiccups. I used it with both baffles and egg crate grid. I used a Promaster 400ws flash and a Godox AD200 Pro. Much more manageable with the AD200 Pro Time will tell as to durability. For me it will get light use and therefore a good fit for a good price.

Mount part loose

Bowens adapter mount is loose. It came this way. Wondering if I could tighten it somehow. It makes it almost impossible to attach and detach from my light.

Mount needs fixing

It does what it's supposed to and easy to open and close which I am happy about. The Bowens attachment part is very loose so I have a hard time connecting and taking it off my light. Wondering if this is something I can adjust. It's been this way since purchased and too late to return. Should have tried it as soon as I received it.

Glow EZ Lock 12x36" Quick Strip

The Glow EZ Lock 12x36" is a must have - super quick to set up and take down! I compared a few different ones and the Glow came with everything I needed, bowens mount, diffusers and a grid. Very versatile for my needs. Highly recommend!

I was looking for a smaller stripbox with a grid and this fit the bill. Easy to setup and take down too.

Exactly What I Needed for My Light

I have a Godox SL300III studio light and it works great with it. Nice and big to cover my entire 24"x36" board with light.

Measure First!

I just received the Glow 10x24 softbox. It was a breeze to assemble. The problem came when I tried to mount it on my Godox QS600II. The modeling lamp and the protective glass globe lacked clearance to mount the softbox. The only way it would fit is if I removed both the modeling lamp AND the protective globe. Unsure about your equipment? The clearance from the mounting base to the center bracket is only 3-1/4 inches (82 mm). You may want to measure first.

Fast set up strip box

This is my 5th softbox and 2nd strip box. Love working with them as they are very fast to set up, 2 diffusers and grids included. Thanks for making my workflow faster.

I use these all the time.

I love these on small crew budget video projects because the narrow strip makes it easy to just aim your light without needing to flag it off. Great when you don't have a lot of time and crew for "proper" setups.

Big Yes To Glow EZ Lock

I have become a big fan of Glow EZ Lock modifiers. Easy of set up and take down, versatility with the included diffusion panels and grid, make Glow my current go to having transitioning from a stable of older cumbersome to set up soft boxes. This strip box can be used as a key, fill and rim applications at a very attractive cost. I am building a new stable of Glow EZ Lock modifiers.

Beautiful, body-height lighting at last!

Purchased on sale for an outstanding value on the dollar. 12x56", in case it's unclear. What I like: Lightweight -- Easy to boom around, doesn't need crazy counterbalance. Dimensions -- Use two or more to creatively sculpt light. Minimal depth and width makes them more compact than parabolic softboxes in some lighting patterns. Easy setup -- Don't break it down all the way. Leave your diffusers half-attached, reflector plate screwed into the offset. Has inner diffuser and grid -- The former can be removed for a central, specular hotspot; the latter is important for containing spill across this much surface. There's nothing I dislike here, Adorama/Glow knocked this out the park.
