Glow Quick Open Softbox 

Shop the Glow Profond 70.8" Quick-Open Deep Softbox for exceptional light control. Durable build, Bowens mount. Easy setup. Order yours today!

 The Glow Profond Quick-Open Deep Octadecagon Softbox with Focus Rod  is one of the most exquisitely designed light modifiers to hit the photo-verse. Discover a perfectly softened source of luminance that gracefully meets your subject after traveling through the Glow Profond physic and radiates through the opulent boule. From the most prominent 70" to the smallest 27" model, these superbly efficient light modifiers from Glow, utilize the impressive Quick-Open system for rapid setup, painless disassembly, and convenient storage. Gone are the days of injured digits attempting to pull up on the rods to secure into lock position or to release the rod spokes for deployment. The reverse process of closure is quick and straightforward. Once constructed, the gracefully curved interiorcreates a perfect silvered reflector for a reverse light throw design using the Focus Rod mounted flash head.   The unique  Glow Profond Quick-Open Deep Octadecagon Softbox  is the fantastic construction of a parabolic design, supported by 18 external nylon fiberglass rods; no metallic dowels or 'bones' interfere with the perfectly shaped silvered interior bowl. The Softbox provides the ideal source for mastering all location situations where quality counts by imitating natural sunlight - even in the sports arena or outdoors on the playing field. The Profond Quick-Open Deep Octadecagon Softbox combines the strength of a keylight while acting as an excellent reflector, blending perfectly with daylight or additional fill soft lights and is best for the full-length figure, fashion, large group shots, celebrity, lifestyle, and commercial assignments. This one modifier can serve as the main light, as an excellent reflector, imitate a large beauty dish, or by adding the outer diffuser shield, you can change the overall wash of sharper light to a less harsh attitude.   Profond, French for "deep," only begins to describe it. Your photos will be profoundly epic.   Glow has a lot more to offer for enriching your photographic creativity. Every light, modifier, enhancer, or accessory you purchase from us carries the hand-in-hand relationship that is the hallmark of our brands.   Look forward to success and a long, rewarding relationship.  

Big enough to cover full body from head to toe.

Great buy

This is an amazing product but the rods are super stiff and snapped when trying to secure in place. Other than that it does an amazing job similar to the Broncolor equivalent. If there is a way to get replacement rod that would be awesome.

Effective but Rod are Fragile

The light this emits is amazing, the only draw back is that because of its difficult setup, it?s only suits studio work (unless your okay with the setup time)

Great Modifier at a great cost

Great product with great light control. Canon extremely light weight and easy to setup. Buy and enjoy!

Great Light Control

Yeah

Very good product end profecional cuality

Love de cuality

The 27.5 is perfect for the work I do as I?m a portrait & headshots photographer. It?s easy to setup and break down and it fits perfectly in a corner of my trunk. I recommend and very pleased with this.

Pleased with my purchase

me gusta esta marca

The versatility of light placement within the modifier makes it very valuable in a studio setting.

Versatile Modifier

Worked out great - on par if not better than the elinchrom octa litemotiv.

It’s awesome!

*DOES NOT COME WITH GRID.

The build is premium and better than I expected, after examining a Broncolor 222. No doubt this para will serve me well. I ordered a smaller version too. The focusing rod is just long enough for this large para. I don't recommend using a mono block unit on the focusing rod, but instead invest in a remote flash head that connects to a power pack or monoblock head. In my case, I use an AD600 pro with a remote flash head. You will need a strong Cstand or better for this. It is large. Fill the supplied bag with aquarium gravel for a good weight.. I only give this 4 stars because the lack of a grid, which would've been great. I ordered through Amazon but it came from Adorama.

Fantastic Pro-worthy Modifier.

Bought the 28 and a month later purchased the 36 and 55. The light coming out of of these soft boxes is incredible.  Soft but crisp with a beautiful fall off. My Mola and Profoto modifiers are now in the process of collecting dust.  The ease of setup is key when working as a one man band. With that said I do wish the 28 and 36 versions had a hard beauty dish deflector or light scatter option. I may do a diy hack and use my mola pad and opal diffuser if possible. Other than that i would love for Adorama to expand this line with rectangular options such as a 3x4 and 2x3.

My favorite Modifiers right now

I recently bought the 55" and am in love with this light. I think the build quality is great and using my AD 600 pro with the extension head is perfect for it. I have also tried the 400 and it worked perfect. I am thinking I could put two lights in it for when I need more power on a bright day.

Buy it and take your creativity to another level.

From a videography newbie's perspective, this softbox has a smart design.  As the unit did not come with a user manual, it did take me a few minutes to figure out how to open and to close, nonetheless once that was figured out, the process was simple, straightforward forward and easy to operate.

I have another parabolic softbox from another brand where I had to insert each of the frames to the side of the supporting ring.  To a novice like me, that is a lot more difficult and time-consuming to setup and that is something I would never want to take apart once it's setup.  With this Glow unit, I have no issue taking it down and to set it up again with the simple process involved.

I give this a 5-star rating, but it would have helped if a sheet of user guide was included or available online somewhere.

Smart Design with Good Built

I got the 27.5" size because I wanted the extra diffuse and soft light of a larger modifier while keeping the convenient size of a beauty dish. This deep parabolic softbox from Glow is my first and it definitely does not disappoint. The materials feel high quality and the whole box looks exquisite for lack of a better term. The light it produces is very soft and well controlled. Set up and break down is easy. These new generation of high quality parabolic modifiers that open with external rods (at affordable price points) have replaced my octaboxes because of how easy it is to use. I'm able to fully open the box within 24 seconds with the inner baffle, outer diffuser, and grid already attached and ready to go. Breaking it down and storing it in the supplied travel bag is a quick 40 seconds. This is a time-saver for location shoots especially if you're bringing more than 1 modifier. One thing I should point out is the external rods are fitted very tightly but so far, after several times of opening and closing the box, their structural integrity remains intact. I am considering more from the Glow Profond series at different sizes. Attached is a photo.

Professional quality and performance with little compromise

I found this softbox too narrow and long. I like the quick open feature but I find hardly use for it in the house.

Too narrow

Tough as nails

I came to the Profond 35.4" from several years of using the 38" and 28" Parapop.  The deep Profond certainly has a larger presence, but is gorgeous and stout.  It takes a little longer to open as it has so many more rods, but is not a lengthy process.  Even without the outer diffuser the light is clean and beautiful.  Add the outer and it only softens more.  I especially appreciate how well fitting the diffusers are after having poorly fitted ones with other softboxes in the past.  Make no mistake - this is a quality softbox with the weight, build and presence to match.

I wondered whether the differences would be worth the cost but I have been extremely happy with the Profond and look forward to replacing my 28" Parapop with the Profond equivalent.  The single and double diffused light are both clean and pleasing.  My only gripe would be the small amount of play from the gap left in the speedring adapter.  Easy fix though.    Very happy with the purchase!

A very worthy upgrade from the Parapop series

De la manera que distribuye la luz es perfecta. LA utilizo mucho para fotos de productos y talento

La construcción y diseño del la parabólica es muy bien

Its very solid, no question. Build quality and the light produced by this is great. The main issue and deal breaker to me is that there is no gel holder included or even available for this softbox after speaking with the staff. Due to it having the poles on the exterior you can't even clip gels onto the frame so if you have bi-color lights or don't deal with variable lighting situations like warm interior lights it won't be an issue. For me however, with Aputure 120d ii's it is an issue. I wish the light dome ii's weren't always on backorder, they come standard with a gel holder.

Great Product...For Bi-Color Lights

Love this softbox! Produces a really big, beautiful, soft light and setup/teardown could not be easier! I got this as an alternative to the Aputure Light Dome and was not disappointed at all. Build quality is great too. I'm a believer!!

Big, beautiful, SOFT light and setup/teardown is super EASY and FAST!

Ok- have used the $800 version and now this one. The light is very crisp and tight.  The snaps are VERY easy- just pop up 2 at a time opposite of each other- then to release- pull up just a bit to relieve the tension and unsnap.  Took only 20 seconds to do. MUCH better than feeding rods... Will be buying 5 more for all my shooters to use.

Easy to set up- Like very easy!

I was not sure whether or not it would be worth the price premium over the EZ Lock. For me, yes it is. Feels very high quality, setup and takedown is quick and easy, can't wait to use it on a shoot.
