Questions & Answers

JUSTIN G : Does this come with a Bowen’s Mount?CHRIS N : No, you would need to buy a Bowens speedring separately.ANDREW R : A mounting ring is not included. You would need to purchase the appropriate mounting ring separately.
Shopper : Can this be used with the Flashpoint 360? If so, what else do I need to purchase?BILL J : Wasn't familiar with the Flashpoint 360 but had a look since I have a Flashpoint Rovelight 600 studio light. It doesn't appear that this would work with the 360 speedlight. It requires a large studio mount for the softbox to mount to. You can't even assemble to softbox without that mount and the 360 speedlight doesn't appear to have that option.DAVID P : You will need a speedring for your Flashpoint : https://<a href="http://www.adorama.com/fp2sr.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwzMbLBRBzEiwAfFz4gZev-jv0_zgxBzGvW2_KTPiqLMktHI5PkEP23xq3jffmFaOpOjMgqhoCuNgQAvD_BwE" target="_blank">www.adorama.com/fp2sr.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwzMbLBRBzEiwAfFz4gZev-jv0_zgxBzGvW2_KTPiqLMktHI5PkEP23xq3jffmFaOpOjMgqhoCuNgQAvD_BwE</a>CHRISTOPHER P : In general almost any modifier can work with any light providing you have proper mounting options. For the 360 you would need to use a S-Type bracket and a bowens mount speedring.STEVE G : make sure you have the speed ring for the softbox, I think I had to buy it separately. It will be the speed ring that will allow the connection.HORACE H : As long as you have a ring to fit the strobe, I don't see why it wouldn't.
ROY I : Do I Need an attachment to use this with Rovelight (Flashpoint mount)?ANDREW R : This unit does NOT include a speed ring. For use with specific model lighting units a compatible mount/speed ring would need to be purchased separately.

Not a bad item, but not travel-friendly

Let me be clear... this is not a bad item, but it was a poor choice on my part for my use case. I travel to workshops and shoots, and generally take an Xplor 300 or two for main flash. Suitcase space is a premium, particularly when the airlines are charging more and more for an extra bag. I have the 20 inch version of the parasnap in a different brand and was looking for a larger version of the same item. Let's just say this ain't it. The parasnap folds very flat, has a single motion set-up and is great for tossing in a suitcase for a destination shoot. This one has a mount ring larger than a Bowens and remains a very sizable tube. It also requires clicking each of the rods into position. There's no inner layer of diffusion. On the other hand, the material is nice quality and the rods look like they take take quite a bit of abuse. It would work great if you have a cabinet in a studio to toss it in, or in the trunk of the car for just around town. Any time space is critical, though, this is not the best choice. In my case, the Glow EZ lock softbox in the Xplor 300/400 mount is a much smaller package and substantially lower cost for the same size softbox. Your mileage may vary.

Cute AND Practical

The Glow HexaPop 24" II Octagonal Softbox with OTA Adapter Set and Bowens Mount is amazing! I absolutely love it! Not only is it super cute, but it's also incredibly practical. It fits perfectly on rectangle-head flashes, making it a versatile addition to my lighting kit. The light it produces is soft and flattering, ideal for portraits or on-the-go setups. It's lightweight, easy to assemble, and a fantastic size for portability without sacrificing quality. Adorama was great as always-fast shipping and excellent service. Highly recommend both this softbox and Adorama for all your photography needs!

Just buy it.

Okay, I gave it a five star, but if I had a choice, I would give it an 4.5. It's not perfect but it has held up for 3 years and still is going strong. The light quality is good and clean. It would be nice if the back panels would Velcro would be able to reach and close together. Only 2 to three, but on the other hand, that would be better ventilation. Enough with the whining, For your first soft-box it is a steal. I wouldn't hesitate to suggest to buying it, especially, if its your first light modifier.!!! Buy it!!!

Need to purchase additional items for this to work

Product itself is great quality but the website description could have been more clear to alert customer that in order for product to work you need to purchase additional mechanisms that do not come with it. Picture of item is very deceiving.

A poorly designed and built softbox

I regret purchasing this softbox. The rods are supposed to go into pockets in the corners but 3 of the 4 corners are completely sewn on what appears may possibly be intended to be a pocket. One of the corners has a pocket with a piece of velcro which opens and allows for the rod to be inserted from the outside and then the velcro can be folded over to make a pocket.

Nicely Made Soft Box is Versatile in Studio

Using this in studio and have it attached to a 500ws mono light for tabletop work. Light spread and flatness of light is very good. Large sized box would be great to use for model work too.

Works great. I'm just not too crazy with these STICKS attachment system

Hard too assemble it till learn the trick to it. Does the job well. Hard to connect ring part to the light attachment. I have it set all the time,but if you're going to set it on and off,on and off all the time will sticks gets bent/curved.

Seemed nice but what I got was defective.

This softbox was hard to put together, didn?t come made right so I couldn?t even get the rods in. Was not able to test it working. Adorama did a fantastic job with customer service to get my products returned due to the defect.

A better use for fill light than a standard reflector. This is a very sturdy and firm softbox. Perfect size for the job.

Let?s start off with these are great but? when ordering you need to order all the components separately, no speed rings not grids and for that they get a 3 star

Glow 36?x 12? strip box!

Just as advertised but a pain to assemble! If you have the room assemble and leave in a corner until ready for use. Sturdy construction. Does not come with any strobe bracket or mounting of any kind. Remember to order separately!

Excellent bargain for the price - but had to modify it.

FOR THE PRICE, this is a great bargain. I've only had mine a couple of months, so don't know how it will hold up over the long run. I am a full time commercial photographer, so my equipment gets used regularly. The one issues I had, is that when it's mounted on my bowen's speed rings, the stretch of the fabric is so tight, that the velcro flaps that close up the back would not fully close, one or two of them wouldn't close at all. A friend ripped out and restitched the velcro so there would be more area of contact, but it just shows what you get from a $60 product vs. a $300+ product. :-)

Decent softbox, but nothing special. You will need to purchase additional items to be able to use it, i.e. ring mount and a grid if you need a grid.

Works well to me

By I-Hsien S.

I purchased this softbox along with a grid, an adapter ring, a strobe and a stand as the rim light for studio headshot. It works pretty well for 1/3 or 1/2 shots. You may need a 72" large one if you do full body. Assembly takes only couple of minutes. Unlike the large one, this 36" one doesn't pull too much of weight and the whole set stands well without using any sandbag. The build quality is standard and nice. The reason I choose this softbox is because the price and a grid can be attached ...
