Helping me develop a new appreciation for hard light.

I'm usually a big fan of the GLOW line of products; however, the way the adaptor just slides into 3 slots on the back with only one screw (which was missing from both shipments and each piece was shipped seperatly) I am unable to use until I can try and find a screw that fits to hold the adaptor in. Have a feeling that even at that point it isn't going to be a tight fit and will most likely rattle. The metal is good as is the over all shape. The inner disk is only held up by tention rods and there is wobble there, could possibly pop out if bummped or if using outdoors and moving around quickly. It would be very difficault to locate one of the rods if they were to fall out while using on location.

Awesome. I wish I had purchased this a long time ago. Nice soft light but with more definition than a softbox. I almost use it exclusively with the soft cover, and in my product photography work I see much more texture and detail in the products. Very, very nice. Great quality too.

This beauty dish does the job. It's easy to install and works perfectly.

Soft even light. Can add a grid to control the spill of the light. Can also add a diffuser to the front to make the light even softer. I also used the Glow Arch strip softbox to fill in the shadows underneath.

Love it. Works well, A+. Thankfully they included the Elinchrom 'converter' and the sock.

Like the sturdiness as compared to a soft box bc of wind situation . The white plate that covers strobe has very unsteady rods that won't tighten and plate keep falling off . I had to use der clips to hold it on but that looks tacky when I remove the white cover if I need a tad more light and the clips also pop off often. A little annoying .

Beautiful light quality. It also is much more stable in winds than a soft box. It is my main modifier both outdoors and in the studio. I recommend the white interior for most portraits.

I've used several soft boxes and other modifiers but the Beauty Dish is by far my favorite.

Works absolutely fine. Good specular highlights. If I had to buy again I would get a foldable umbrella style. Annoying to pack and carry on a shoot

Dish works great, but it's bent and looks like if I wanted to get a grid it won't work. The boxes were in good condition so the dish shipped out like that. It's a little disheartening but it doesn't take away from its function.

Great quality as any other EZ Glow product. Awesome results.

Modifier is amazing! Just be mindful when ordering that the Bowen?s mount adapter ships separately and not together. My adapter delivered one week after the beauty dish itself. Seems like a logistics improvement needed.

OK. Was a little mis-shapen and had to bend it back to round. Also, one of the screws that held the center reflector was stripped so I had to go get all new screws. Works fine but cheaply made.

Nice, contrasty light. Even softer with the included sock. I'm happy I bought a grid also so I have more light control options.

Glow 22" White Beauty Dish for Bowens Mount

Works as a beauty dish should and the price is right. Rods in the center reflector needed tightening and the sock tore at the elastic, Easy fixes. I do prefer the Visatec Softlight beauty dish as it is much more flexible. The light output also seems better. Could be more about the Visatec moonlight bulb that the modifier though.

Great beauty dish to replace my Paul C buff. I use this with my new FJ400 Westcott lights and it is perfect!

Never used one of these before and never really cared for doing portrait work. I picked up one because I was intrigued by the reviews. Man did this make a portrait photog out of me when what I shoot is 99% product.

This little mount changed everything! I run a studio and I want to be able to provide high quality modifiers to my clients without passing on tremendous cost to them as well. Being able to use the amazing Glow Beauty dish with my profoto strobes made my setup not only high quality but affordable.

How can you elevate your photography to the next level The Glow 22" White Beauty Dish for Balcar White Lighting & Alien Bees Mount is your answer. This high-quality, durable light modifier is renowned for creating striking portraiture and fashion images. Its unique diffusion properties are achieved through a double parabolic reflector system, blending the qualities of a direct flash and a softbox.
This versatile beauty dish delivers a wrap-around look similar to a softbox but with more contrast and a more dramatic directed beam. The white finish enhances contrast and brings out more detail in your subject, making it an efficient tool for photographers aiming to capture the nuances of their subjects.
Designed to mount onto most brands of studio flash and monolights, this beauty dish requires speed rings for attachment, which are sold separately. The 22" White version is ideal for head and shoulders portraits, dramatic half-figure studies, or subjects in tight spaces where softboxes and umbrellas can't fit.
The beauty dish design features a small opaque reflective cover suspended directly over the light source, preventing direct light from hitting the subject. The light bounces backwards off the small interior disk and floods the larger bowl of the beauty dish, resulting in a wide cast of softer light than a standard reflector and far superior to the harshness of a speedlight.
The position of the small center reflector cap is adjustable, allowing you to control the spread to the large bowl and accommodate tall or high wattage modeling lights. Included with the beauty dish is a diffusion fabric panel, or "sock," which softens the ring of focused light, lowers contrast, and softens shadow edges.
Photographers often use the 17" to 22" beauty dish on monolights, flash heads, and speedlights for flattering people shots, especially for sculpting facial features and creating beautiful shadows and catch lights. The optional Glow honeycomb grid is a powerful tool for controlling a light source's beam and feathering hard light for an attractive shadow.
Whether you're a glamour or sports photographer looking to enhance curves, muscles, and texture, or a portrait photographer seeking to smooth skin tones and reveal less texture, the Glow 22" White Beauty Dish for Balcar White Lighting & Alien Bees Mount is a reliable and versatile tool for your photography needs.
