Pay close attention what this adapter will fit

Does not fit the Godox v1 flashes plus the included adapter is plastic and of low quality for continual use,

An excellent modifier. Highly recommend.

Under the umbrella of professional photography equipment, the ParaPop 38" II Portable Softbox stands out as a versatile and high-quality product. This portable softbox, designed by the reputable brand Glow, is a durable and adjustable lighting solution for both on-location and in-studio photography.

The ParaPop 38" II Portable Softbox is equipped with a Bowens mount adapter and an OTA adapter set, enhancing its compatibility with a wide range of cameras, lenses, and lighting modifiers. This makes it an ideal investment for photographers seeking versatility and adaptability in their equipment.

The unique 12-sided, parabolic profile of the ParaPop 38" II Portable Softbox, with a diameter of 38 inches and a depth of 16.5 inches, provides a generous 105-degree light spread. This design ensures slight, beautifully graduated shadows and vibrant, saturated colors, avoiding the flat 'flashpan' look often associated with direct strobe lighting.

The ParaPop 38" II Portable Softbox is designed for easy setup and takedown. Its jointed positioning rods lock securely into the dedicated speedring with a simple click, and the softbox can be collapsed easily with twin safety tabs, producing a signature 'pop.' The black exterior and silver interior of the softbox create a soft, diffused lighting effect, perfect for portrait and product photography.

The included OTA-S Adapter screws into the handle of the ParaPop OTA kit, allowing the photographer to mount the speedlight into a ParaPop OTA Adapter without the cumbersome system of the past ParaPop 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.

The ParaPop 38" II Portable Softbox also features a built-in pistol grip trigger for tilt control, 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.

The ParaPop 38" II Portable Softbox is not just a lighting solution, but a comprehensive tool for photographers seeking to enhance their work with professional-grade equipment. Its unique design, versatility, and high-quality construction make it a standout choice in the world of photography equipment.
