Very Well Made Product
First, I have to say how impressed I am with the quality of materials used in Glow EZ Lock products as well as how well they are engineered. I purchased this small box for rim and hair lighting and the larger Octobox for primary lighting. They open like an umbrellas, the diffusers and grids snap into place and you're ready to go. If you've ever used the soft boxes where you have to stretch the various spring wires into their little sockets, or had those wires punch through the soft box you'l...

Perfect little box for lighting
I have become a super fan of the Adorama Glow brand. In fact, I won't use any other softbox for my shooting needs. The EZlock system is so simple and so quick it takes the hassle out of setup and breakdown. Most of my shoots are away from my office so having gear like this that I can easily carry with me, put up and take down while being in a price range that is not crazy is a wonderful thing.
The Glow EZ Lock 12x36" Quick Softbox takes the EZ Lock feature concept to the traditional lightbank design and scores! The extreme rectangular shape features flattering, soft, and rich color lighting with all the significant advantages of plume softbox quality with an unbeatable safe and sure EZ positive and lock system. No more clumsy construction, fumbling with flex resistant rods, or struggling in frustration for careful alignment of speedring holes.
The 4-ribbed softbox opens up and closes down, 'umbrella style.' The self-catch EZ Lock surrounds a thick center shaft, providing a comfortable place for your fingers to push-lock the mechanism open and a substantial release to close the softbox painlessly.
The quick-to-setup umbrella-like assembly has all the advantages of a metallic magnum style reflector without the delicate nature. This collapsible unit was borne for the road or studio, with sturdy aluminum support rods for structural stability and extraordinary fabric strength.
This 12x36" edition of the Quick Softbox is especially suitable for everything from fashion to portraiture, commercial photography to internet sales, illuminating an entire person and small items with dramatic and exciting light. It is the standard staple in every photographer's collection of tools. The finely finished silver interior lining makes it easy to achieve magnificent specular highlights, brings out sharp details, and provides the most focused indirect lighting, along with soft shadow definition. The shadows are slight and beautifully graduated.
Colors are saturated and vibrant without the flat pancake 'flashpan' look of the direct strobe. Enjoy a full and voluptuous light that caresses your subject where even the highlights and catchlights are more appealing. The softbox rectangular shape streams all the light in one controllable direction. 130mm interchangeable speedring inserts open a world of adaptability to almost any speedlight, monolight or large barebulb strobe to serve as an optimal tool for mastering all location situations, where quality counts.
Mastering the light is no accident. The opaque deflector disk causes light to bounce throughout and flood the wall of the softbox's outer bowl, resulting in a softer spread of indirect light. By flipping the deflector disk, you can realize different levels of light distribution. Independently, the inner diffuser incorporates a central circular panel to avoid hotspots while maintaining the 'pop' of the silvered rim of material extending beyond its position. The use of both outer and inner combined double diffusion material goes even farther to produce very soft light, thereby providing no less than three levels of contrast, sharpness, and dimension.
With the included Eggcrate Grid, you gain more control of a light source's beam by covering the softbox's front with the grid, virtually eliminating spill. The 30 Degree grid feathers the light creating an attractive shadow, separating the subject and the background. This strong directionality can be used to add high key depth for fashion images and emphasize the model facial structure and the eyes, lips, nose, and chin. The lightweight accessory attaches to the softbox's rim with a Self-Securing Closure that follows the perimeter of the grid. Makes you look like an absolute lightmaster.
The EZ Lock system adds practical advantages, strength, and speed to the daunting task of quality light modification on the run and in the studio. With much attention to minutia in its sturdy build, from resilient form-fitting fabric to flexible aluminum frame ribs, this GLOW EZ LOCK 12x36" QUICK SOFTBOX sets the standard for portable light control for people and subjects.
As with all fine Glow products, this EZ Lock QUICK SOFTBOX comes packaged in a fitted, durable fabric pouch, which protects it during transport and storage.
