Questions & Answers

John B : Is there a grid availabel for this softbox?MICHAEL D : No, unfortunately.
john b : Can this rectangular softbox be rotated between vertical and horizontal when mounted on a lightstand? How?BRUNO M : Enter anYes, you can easily rotate the softbox. If you use the speedlight bracket you just position the 4 flexible metal rods that hold the shape of the box (before you open up the softbox) to match the preferred position. If instead you use a moonlight strobe with this softbox, you will need a Glow speed ring. With it, you can easily rotate the softbox to either horizontal or vertical position with the softbox already fully open. answer to this question.DARLENE H : Hi, It can somewhat. You'll need a ring (mount) to attache it to your light...it does not attach to the stand itself. I use a Bowens mount which allows me to spin the lightbox to an angle needed. I don't recall having been able to spin it to a completely horizontal position, but that could have been an issue with my light itself.Ronald J : Yes it can, just attach the box 180 degrees off by inserting the mounting pins into the speed ring 180 degrees off.
Shopper : What attachment is needed for profoto use?ANDREW R : https://www.adorama.com/glsrpoprf.html

no assembly instructions

The softbox came with no assembly instructions. For a new user instructions are rather important

Good item

Love it. Is a good product and I've used it quite a bit. The corners are slightly off compared to the picture. But since it has 6 corners it doesn't look weird to your clients.

How does one clean this?

my dog decided to urinate on this softbox while it was laying on the floor. I'm not sure how to clean it without damaging it. Any suggestions?

Rods are under heavy stress

Rods are very brittle and break easily. Take care when opening them. Fortunately, Adorama replaced the ones that broke and i received the replacements before my next project.

Nice and easy soft box.

I intend to use this for product/food photography and believe it will work really well. One word of caution: getting it open is super easy, but closing it ? I had to ask for help from someone with strong fingers to squeeze the buttons. Yes, I would recommend this product.

So far the HexaPop 24? seems well built and well put together. I think it will be useful for quick and casual set ups. I?m looking forward to combining this with my larger Soft box.

Nice little box and easier to close than some suggest.

First off, I got this as part of a kit. It's a nice little box. It come with a speedlight mount and Bowens mount. Swapping between the 2 involves removing and re-installing 4 very small screws. I will probably use it with just speedlights due to it's size but you should plan accordingly. It does not have an internal diffuser, just the outer. Another reason to use speedlights with the wide angle diffuser covering the light lens. There also is no grid. It's incredibly light and easy to set up. Just pull the ribs back to the ring and they easily lock. Several people have given this box low ratings because they don't know how to close it. It really is quite easy. They are trying to squeeze the release tabs while holding the box in the air with the ribs under tension. And the tension is significant. To relieve the tension simply place the box on a table, the floor or against the wall and push gently as you squeeze the release. This tension is released and the box closes. Easy peasy. Will this be your main box? Probably not unless it's your only box. But I can see taking it outdoors when one modifier is needed and size and weight matter. Also it can be a great second light in the studio.

Almost perfect

In my honest opinion, a four star rating would be fair. I like everything about how easy it was to set up. Just a few seconds needed to prop the rods in place. It's perfect for on the go flash photography with a stand flash mounting bracket if you have a Godox or other flash with an on board radio receiver. I swapped out the flash mounting bracket with the included plastic Bowens mount. I used the Bowens mount to mount to an S2 flash bracket and used that mount my Nikon SB-910 flash along with a Flashpoint receiver. The rod release mechanism is a bit stiff but did not present too much of an issue for me as I placed the softbox face down and used both hands to simultaneously push the locks open. The reason for taking off one star is that I wish I had a spot to add on a grid on the front. Other than that, I loved it!

My go-to portable rig for outdoors with EVOLV 200PRO (I attach to a twin head with two)

I've been using these for several years, coupled with EVOLVE 200PRO (usually a pair with the twin head). I also have a pair of 600PROs that I use with larger diffusers but this has become my go-to for on the go outdoor portraiture for individuals or couples. After 5 years I broke one of the rods in a fall, but the broken rod protected the rest of the rig. Came back today to order a replacement rod. They're only $1.99 each, so I highly recommend getting an extra so you've got an extra if needed!

Affordable and convenient

This is my second of these soft boxes for use in my home studio with speed lights. It's a nice combo of affordability, portability and convenience. It gets four stars because my original one snapped one of the connectors to the ring and I had to order a replacement (had been open and closed probably a dozen times). Good for upper body portraits/head shots and product work. I haven't tried lighting a large area with and suspect it would be too small with speed lights to fill the space.

Lightweight, Portable, Functional

By FREDERICK D.

I use this for single and couple portrait sessions on location. I mount a SB-910, partnered with the FlexTT5 transceiver. The Flash head fits through the opening without contacting the rim, so could also (though I don't) attach the diffuser on the SB-910 or gel filters. It's the most ready-to-go softbox setup I have... I find the umbrella like collapse function to be particularly practical, though it makes a "pop" sound as it snaps down when released, so don't do that where the sound would...

Spectacular softbox - SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE,

By Mark S.

I have several softboxes for studio work. I wanted a "traveling" softbox that was simple to set up, equally simple to take down and stow away, and, most importantly, an excellent light modifier. The GLOW 24 is all of that and more. I use it for "environmental" portraits in the beautiful woods behind my studio. The dappled light through the trees provides incredible bokeh and the Glow 24 gives perfect portrait light every time. I use it with a Nikon SB 900 set at 4 feet and 1/128 power. Work...

The Glow QuadraPop 2838 is the mobile solution to speedlights, studio and large portable strobes, featuring flattering, soft and rich color lighting with all the great advantages of the softbox quality of our very successful Glow Softbox R Series. Once constructed, the lightweight QP2838 opens and closes speedily. Setup in a snap for action with jointed positioning rods that lock with a simple click into the dedicated speedring and release to collapse the softbox with twin safety tabs, sounding a signature 'pop'. The combination of the perfect reflector diffuser together with the unique deployment and closing 'pop' system makes for a dynamic solution to portable softbox lighting.

This evolutionary innovation is available for 5 popular speedlights, monolights and studio strobe head via custom interchangeable rings that fit on the QuadraPop and ParaPop mobile softboxes. You can own one Pop's for many lights. A special bracket for hot shoe mounted speedlights mates the flash precisely and predictably to the QuadraPop softbox.

The ultra efficient softbox 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.

GLOW QuadraPop materials and construction are superior. The critical ingredients in any softbox are the internal reflective fabric, the front diffuser/baffle and the shape of the box. Super strength silvered grid fabric finely line the interior surfaces of the box and add a crisp quality to the output. Light spread is extremely even, pleasing and contrast balanced. Reinforced support rod pocket, seams and Velcro closures make assembly and setup trouble-free. The highlight /shadow ratio is optimized with a concentrated focus of illumination from the special reflector design. There is exceptional light efficiency in this design and the flattering results reveal human form with grace and warmth.

The Glow QuadraPop line is perfect for Mobile Portraits, Studio, Travel and by customers who consider themselves to be a Professional, Semi-professional and lovers of imaging. The Glow QuadraPop is popular because the Glow QuadraPop is transportable, durable, easy to use, lightweight and reliable. This is an ideal source for individual portraits while doubling as a superstar on location. The QuadraPop 2838 combines the strength of a portrait key light while acting as a soft wrap, blending perfectly with additional fill soft lights. The most popular uses of this softbox shape are for fashion, portrait, and beauty photography, plus, it's a natural for children.
