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!

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.

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.

Very Well Made Product

By JOHN J.

First, I have to say how impressed I am with the quality of materials used in Glow EZ Lock products as well as how well they are engineered. I purchased this small box for rim and hair lighting and the larger Octobox for primary lighting. They open like an umbrellas, the diffusers and grids snap into place and you're ready to go. If you've ever used the soft boxes where you have to stretch the various spring wires into their little sockets, or had those wires punch through the soft box you'l...

Perfect little box for lighting

By NICHOLAS C.

I have become a super fan of the Adorama Glow brand. In fact, I won't use any other softbox for my shooting needs. The EZlock system is so simple and so quick it takes the hassle out of setup and breakdown. Most of my shoots are away from my office so having gear like this that I can easily carry with me, put up and take down while being in a price range that is not crazy is a wonderful thing.

From the sleek design to the precision lighting control, the Glow EZ Lock 12x56" Quick Strip Softbox with Bowens Mount is a professional photographer's dream for creating stunning, directional light. This softbox is engineered to facilitate a quick and effortless setup, thanks to its innovative EZ Lock feature, which eliminates the hassle of traditional lightbank construction. The intuitive 'umbrella style' opening and closing mechanism is designed for rapid deployment and breakdown, making it ideal for both on-location shoots and studio work.

Crafted with four robust aluminum support rods, this softbox ensures structural stability and is built to withstand the rigors of frequent use. The high-quality fabric is both durable and capable of producing a consistent light quality that Glow is known for. The extreme rectangular shape of the softbox is perfect for achieving flattering, soft light with rich color quality, making it versatile for a wide range of photography genres, from fashion to portraiture, and commercial work to internet sales.

The interior of the softbox features a finely finished silver lining that maximizes light reflectivity, creating specular highlights and sharp details while maintaining soft shadow definition. The result is a light that envelops the subject, producing saturated colors and avoiding the undesirable 'flashpan' effect of direct strobe lighting.

With its 130mm interchangeable speedring inserts, this softbox offers unparalleled adaptability, fitting almost any speedlight, monolight, or large barebulb strobe. This adaptability makes it an essential tool for photographers looking to master various lighting situations where quality is paramount.

The included opaque deflector disk enhances the softbox's versatility by allowing for different levels of light distribution. Whether used independently or in conjunction with the inner diffuser, photographers can achieve multiple contrast levels, sharpness, and dimension in their lighting. The inner diffuser works to soften hotspots, while the double diffusion material ensures an even softer light.

For added control and precision, the softbox comes with an Eggcrate Grid, which aids in separating the subject from the background and adds depth to high-key fashion images. This lightweight accessory easily attaches to the softbox with Velcro, following the perimeter of the grid, and helps to direct the light for more dramatic effects.

The Glow EZ Lock 12x56" Quick Strip Softbox is not only about functionality but also about convenience and durability. It comes packaged in a fitted, durable fabric pouch for protection during transport and storage. The Glow EZ Lock system represents a significant advancement in light modification, offering practical advantages, strength, and speed for photographers who demand the best in quality lighting.
