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!

Create strip boxes that are easy to assembly and durable. I have owned these for 3 years and they are holding up great!

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.

The light produced is actually pretty nice for the money, but the light spread is very uneven. I can see a clear cross shape in the diffuser.

About Glow Softbox

FEATURED REVIEWS

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 ...

Good Quality, Good Price, It's worth it

By ABELARDO R.

Easy to use, fun to use and very useful

The Glow HexaPop brings flattering, soft and rich color lighting to harsh direct on camera flash.

The lightweight HexaPop opens easily and positively locks to create the perfect reflector diffusor. The ultra efficient parabolic reflector has virtually no fall-off from edge to edge. Glow engineers use UV-A and UV-R diffuser materials and are exceptionally heat resistant. The internal silver reflector fabric rivals all other flexible materials, imitating polished lame.

Your speedlight attaches to the speedring assembly and centers almost all brands of flashes.

OPENS in a FLASH! CLOSES with a POP!
And now, the venerated HexaPop takes speedlights faster and more creative than ever, with the improved HexaPop II with the OTA Adapter system! Besides the Bowens Mount connectivity, Glow introduces the OTA Adapter that attaches the HexaPop II to various flashes with a quick twist, with a firm and secure hold for on and off camera speedlights and eVOLV200s.

Ultimate mobile parabolic softbox solution
The Glow HexaPop 24 II is the mobile parabolic softbox solution for speedlights, studio, and large portable strobes, featuring flattering, soft, and rich color lighting. The lightweight HexaPop 24 II opens in a snap for action, with jointed positioning rods that lock with a simple click into the dedicated speedring. The release to collapse the softbox is even easier with twin safety tabs, sounding a signature 'pop.' The combination of the perfect diffusers together with the unique deployment and closing 'pop' system makes for a dynamic solution to portable softbox lighting.

The included OTA-S Adapter screws into the handle of the HexaPop OTA kit. Once joined with the OTA handle, the photographer mounts the speedlight into a HexaPop OTA Adapter without the cumbersome system of the past HexaPop version. The handle serves as a base that quickly connects to a lightstand, eliminating the need for more elaborate and less safe devices for support. A built-in pistol grip trigger provides the tilt control for the entire assembly, an umbrella port, and a clever twist-to-lock stand mount. The magnetic rimmed facing accepts OTA color filters and grids set and the popular Roundhead accessories for the Zoom Li-on X [FPLFEVRHAK].

You can own one Pops for many lights.
The unique six-sided shape and narrow profile 18 inch diameter by 8 inch depth, provides a big 105-degree light spread in a light, space-saving package. The shadows are slight and beautifully graduated. Colors are rich and vibrant without the flat pancake look of direct flash.

The product of this marriage of softbox and umbrella: A parabolic umbrella that does not cast divergent or convergent light creating more natural sun-like shadows and fill light. The parabolic reflector shape directs all the light in one controllable direction. By adding the diffuser design more beautiful light caresses the subject.

Gorgeous Detail Lighting
The ultra-efficient parabolic reflector has virtually no fall-off from edge to edge. Glow engineers use UV-A and UV-R diffuser materials and are exceptionally heat resistant. The internal silver reflector fabric rivals all other flexible materials, imitating polished lame. Your flashhead, monolight or speedlight, attaches to the speedring assembly and aligns almost all brands of flashes.

The exciting Glow OTA Adapter Series
The included Glow OTA-A Speedlight Mount for OTA Adapter brings simplified connectivity and accessory modifiers for use with the original HexaPop and updated HexaPop II. The Adapter replaces the standard Bowens MOUNT plate that is screwed onto the rear face of the HexaPop Assembly hub. Once the new Glow OTA-A Speedlight Mount for OTA-A Adapter is in place, all OTA Adapters bayonet securely mate directly onto the adapter. Use the magnetic rimmed color filters and grids set and the already established Roundhead accessories for the Zoom Li-on X. The OTA Adapters bring Speedlights, Flashpoint non-Bowens monolights, Profoto and Forza heads and strobes, freely and with the same convenience, the Glow Bowens mount is famous for.

The options are staggering. The flexibility, enlightening.
