So far, so good

So far, great product. Easy to set up and perfect for headshots. Nice not to have to use adapters as this fits right on the AD 300 flashheqd.

Reason enough to buy an AD300

OK, it's a nice modifier with lots of accessories at a reasonable price. What makes it awesome, my favorite, is how great it pairs with the AD300. Doesn't seem like much on paper, but in use it is way WAY smaller than an equivalent bowens mount. In transport and on location, I just leave it attached, collapsed, to the AD300--they are the same diameter. Plus, it's so easy to pop open and closed that I leave the double diffusion in place and just reach through the zippered slot to work the umbrella-like mechanism. Arrive, pop it open, shoot, pop closed, go home. perfect.

Great value softbox kit!

This kit packs a lot of value at an affordable price. However I still find myself using a humble white umbrella beacuse it weighs nothing compared to the softbox. The softbox itself is lightweight and easy to use, but a modest umbrella of the same diameter is basically weightless and delivers good results when used properly. If you want more control, then definitely this softbox is the way to go.

Glow ParaSnap Alternative

Its not a ParaSnap Softbox but it is pretty easy to setup. Lightweight and seems durable. Produces great light. Fits perfectly on Xplor400PRO. I would look at the Glow ParaSnap before purchasing this one. They are a little pricey but it makes outdoor shoots 100% easier. This is an excellent alternative though.

Now I want the bigger one, too.

I love this thing--always my go-to for one or two person portraits. It's fast to setup and way smaller than a Bowens mount pop-up. It is also my most versatile softbox. Placed close with double diffusion, it's great for soft light portraits. Remove the diffusers and use one of the deflector plates, and it acts just like a beauty dish. In fact, the plates narrow the beam out of this parabolic so much, that I don't ever feel the need for the grid (it's kind of a pain to put on anyway.) Now I want the bigger one for more coverage.

Super small collapsed footprint propriety mount for AD300/AD400, great build quality, a no brainer at this price!

If you own the AD300 or AD400, this propriety mount is a bit lighter and a LOT smaller footprint than the same product with the Bowens mount and it costs the same. I saw Robert Halls's utube video about his flash kit loosing 10lbs., keeping this mounted on an AD300 (he used the 33", I opted for this smaller one) and keeps it always attached to the light stand, when all connected fitting nicely into a carry bag and set up in less than a minute with TWO more AD100's! A super quick studio setup when you're on the run. You can see from my photo the big size difference because of the smaller mount. Robert added a couple of AD100's on lightweight stands for an amazing lightweight and super portable kit, I really liked the idea and am really happy with the softbox, Adorama did a great job on this. Also comes with a grid which folds up small; it's kind of delicate and takes time to set up but great when you have the time and use for it. The light produced is really nice and it holds up a lot better than an umbrella in a breeze. There is another brand that has a little better build quality, but it's over 2x the price! At this price the quality and value is amazing, thank you Adorama!!

Excellent value, the perfect tool for my Flashpoint AD300. I love how it connects directly to the strobe head via the Godox mount.

Great, but there?s a stupid error.

Almost perfect! They just messed up the attachment points for the inner diffusion panels. The only way to attached is to remove the grid and front diffusion. This completely gets better n the way of the quick pop-up design of the flash. I?ve ended up just leaving the box open permentnetly and carrying it to my car open because it would take too long to remove the grid and front diffusion to reach in and place the inner diffusion. We are fixing it by adding more Velcro to the attachment and the inner diffusion, that way we can just squeeze it in through the zipper hole.

Find a YouTube video for set up

The set up of the soft box was not intuitive. Looking at a YouTube video showed me how to insert and attached the various diffusers. The more i set up and take down the quicker it will become. The direct mount is a huge plus!

Amazing modifier, dirt cheap for what you get

By OLEG M.

This is a true parabolic modifier. Without any diffuser it's dark in the central area. The central point is bright since there is no way to focus the light unfortunately. If you ever shot with a Parabolix modifier - the ADS85s renders a similar pattern like a defocused Parabolix (the head position is opposite). Neither of them won't give a complete dark center like a Broncolor Para can do, but will you complain for $60??? Now, if you want a softbox type of lighting - all you need is just the...

While maintaining its reputation for high-quality photography equipment, the Glow 33" EZ Lock Softbox with Silver Interior is a portable, versatile and professional-grade light modifier designed specifically for the Flashpoint XPLOR400 Pro. Renowned for producing stunning fashion and portraiture images, this softbox showcases the innovative 'safe and sure' EZ Lock system, offering a seamless and hassle-free setup experience.

Unlike traditional models, this softbox directly mounts onto the advanced XPLOR400 Pro R2 monolight, utilizing an integrated Godox style modifier reflector mount, rather than the Bowens design. This unique feature enhances its compatibility and flexibility, making it an ideal choice for photographers of all levels.

The Glow 33" EZ Lock Softbox serves as a super softbox, offering two levels of diffusion to create varying degrees of softness. It includes four internal deflection disk modifiers that can be easily adjusted to alter the direct burst of light or warmth, changing the overall wash of sharper light to a less harsh mood, perfect for both people and object photography.

The softbox's ingenious disk deflectors spring into shape, fitting within Velcro tabs for easy placement, floating precisely over the hub. This results in a softer spread of indirect light with or without a touch of tint. Without intervening modifiers, the softbox serves as a key light, an exceptional reflector, and can even imitate an outsized focusing umbrella.

The Silver Interior finish of the Glow 33" EZ Lock Softbox enhances the ability to achieve highlights, bring out sharp details, and provide lavish indirect lighting, along with soft shadow definition. It is perfect for directed light output, warming skin tones, and creating distinct contrasts.

The 16-ribbed softbox opens up and closes down 'umbrella style,' with the self-catch EZ Lock surrounding a thick center shaft, providing a comfortable place for your fingers to push-lock the mechanism open, and a wide button to unlock-release and close the softbox effortlessly.

Constructed with sturdy aluminum support rods for structural stability and extraordinary fabric strength, this collapsible unit is designed for both road and studio use. Like all Glow products, the Glow 33" EZ Lock Softbox comes packaged in a fitted, durable fabric pouch for safe transport and storage. Experience the fast path to light with Glow EZ Lock, whether in the studio, on location, or at home.
