Open Box: Used Glow EZ Lock Octa Small Quick Softbox for Speedlite (25") undefined

What sets the Glow EZ Lock 25" Octa Quick Softbox apart is its dynamic eight-sided deep parabolic shape that delivers flattering, soft, and luxurious color lighting. This product combines the significant advantages of softbox and umbrella lighting with an unbeatable, safe, and sure EZ positive lock system. Say goodbye to the clumsy construction and alignment frustrations of flex-resistant rods and speedring holes. This 8-ribbed softbox operates like an umbrella, opening up and closing down with ease. The EZ Lock mechanism, which surrounds a thick center shaft, provides a comfortable place for your fingers to push-lock the mechanism open, and a generously sized release to close the softbox painlessly. Designed for both the road and the studio, this collapsible unit boasts sturdy aluminum support rods for structural stability and extraordinary fabric strength. This 25-inch diameter edition of the Octa Quick Softbox is versatile, making it suitable for everything from fashion to portraiture. It illuminates an entire person and small groups with smooth, yet exciting light. The finely finished silver interior lining allows for magnificent specular highlights, sharp details, and focused indirect lighting, along with soft shadow definition. The shadows are slight and beautifully graduated. Colors are saturated and vibrant without the flat 'flashpan' look of direct strobe. The parabolic reflector shape directs all the light in one controllable direction. With 130mm interchangeable speedring inserts, this softbox offers adaptability to almost any speedlight, monolight, or large barebulb strobe, making it an optimal tool for mastering all location situations where quality counts. The reversible opaque deflector cover causes light to bounce throughout and flood the wall of the outer bowl of the softbox, resulting in a softer spread of indirect light. By flipping the deflector disk, you can achieve differing levels of light distribution. Used independently, the deflector disk can function as a central circular panel to block hotspots, while maintaining the pop of the silvered rim of material extending beyond its position. The outer 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, virtually eliminating spill and emphasizing the model's facial structure. The EZ Lock system adds practical advantages, strength, and speed to the task of quality light modification on the run and in the studio. With its resilient form-fitting fabric to flexible aluminum frame ribs, this Glow EZ Lock 25" Octa Quick Softbox sets the standard for portable light control for people and subjects. As with all fine Glow products, this Octa Quick Softbox comes packaged in a fitted, durable fabric pouch, which protects it during transport and storage. Please note that the Flashpoint XPLOR 600 Pro will not work with this softbox, as the flashtube dome is too long.

The quality is exactly what I expected. It's quick and easy to set up and fold down, which makes it really convenient during shoots. The additional beauty dish is a great addition it makes the softbox even more versatile and useful in different setups.

Exactly what i expected

I use this every time I need a light modifier for an indoor shoot. I do not recommend using this softbox outside because of wind or breeze blowing it over and destroying it. However, as a tool for us indoors, it is fantastic.

Quick assembly light modification tool

Great light, great price, the only con it is a little heavy for weak light stands

Great buy

Just like the 60" version, this 48" octabox is a dream to use. Beautiful, soft light and you can use these softboxes in different configurations so you essentially get a few modifiers in one!! This really lightweight modifier comes with its own grid and deflector plate as well, all for a really affordable price!! The build quality is great and it's a good looking modifier. The Glow aesthetic is great!! You really can't beat this so just get it already!! It's more than worth it if you want gorgeous, soft light but don't want something quite as large as the 60" (5 ft.) version, look no further!!

Great Softbox!!

Fantastic light modifier. This thing is HUGE and gives some of the softest light you've ever seen!! Though very large, it's quite lightweight for its size and takes ZERO strength to open and click into place. Setup and collapse are extremely easy and quick!! No annoying rods to hurt your hands, fighting to put them into place!! If you want super soft light in soft box form at a very reasonable price, then this is the obvious choice!! The icing on the cake is that it comes with a grid to control light spill!! A lot of brands don't include grids with their softboxes and are significantly more expensive!! You won't be disappointed with this!! Just get it already!!

Super Soft Light At a Great Price!!

Awesome build quality for the price, easy setup and tear down and obviously, provides a massive light source that's really soft and beautiful. I wouldn't hesitate to get you one or two for your kit especially considering it comes with a grid at this price.

Great value, massively soft light, easy to setup and tear down. A must have for your kit!

This is a fantastic bundle to have! The quality of every piece in the bundle is exactly what I needed for my first strobe.

Excellent Bundle, Great Price

Great little softbox, but one of the ribs snapped at the ring-end. The metal there is really thin on the rib, and just broke at the pivot point where expanding the box puts all of the force. I guess for the money I shouldn't be surprised, but it didn't get heavy use. Disappointing.

You get what you pay for - meh durability?

For the price, these EZ Lock softboxes from Glow (Adorama) are fantastic!  These original octas aren't as durable as the Deep Para's and others, but they're inexpensive, and as long as you treat them well, they'll last!  The quality of light and the variety of function are great, and I have a few different sizes

Fantastic!

The Glow EZ Quick Octa Large Softbox (36 inch) is excellent for providing overall soft light!  For under $100 (including tax), the material is very sturdy.  The softbox comes with two diffusers as well as an egg crate. I am very happy with this investment!
Also, a big shout out to Adorama for how easy it was to order this product on their website and super-fast shipping!

Glow EZ Lock Quick Octa Large Softbox With Bowens Mount

Much easier to set up than the smaller softboxes I have - no taking the metal poles in/out to set up/take down.

Large softbox

Only used a couple of times thus far but impressed with the build and versatility.  Should last a long time.  Easy to assemble and to change configuration, both very important on location shoots.

Very nice soft box.

I was expecting it to be a little flimsy for the price but the fabric is a decent weight and the stitching seems good. Quick to set up and break down - took a little practice but very happy with my purchase. The included grid for the total price of $85 is an amazing bargain.

Well built piece of kit

Beautiful soft light! Has beauty dish, inner diffusion, outer diffusion and a grid, all for such an amazing price. How can you pass this up?

Beautiful!

I love the size and ease of setup / usage of this softbox, especially for portable shoots!  Provides good light output with very effective diffusion and 'soft' light for every setup / shoot that I've needed it for.

Perfect on-the-go sized softbox!

Great soft, even lighting.  Easy to setup and take apart.  (much easier than other brands).  Includes the grid to help you control the spill of light which is useful to keep the light from hitting the background.  Can light the subject from head to toe.

Easy to put together and take apart.  Folds up small for easy portability.

Puts out beautiful light but a bit cumbersome. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to grab it when spinning the bowens mount to remove it. I would buy again though.

Great but cumbersome

This octa box is well made, easy to set up, and produces a pleasing soft light with a bit of dazzle. I use it sometimes as a key light, other times for on-axis fill, and once in a while as the fill in clamshell set-up. In the third role, despite its generous size, it fits comfortably on my smallest light stand and does not block access to the subject. The inclusion of a grid in the basic price, rather than as an extra, is a big plus. The only problem I've had has been that this unit produces a slightly cooler color temperature than another, older octa that I often use with it.  It can take i bit of fancy dancing, either in light placement or in post or both, to get them to play nice together. Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase.

Excellent octa!

Works great

Works way better than higher priced units.  This is easy to set up and looks great.  I should get another one!

A better choice than pricier ones.

Great softbox! Quick assembly?very easy. Good quality for the price.

Highly recommended

This softbox modifier is huge! It creates a nice even light and it came with a eggcrate grid + reflector disc for more creativity plus the umbrella style mechanism on this makes it easy to use!

Easy To Use Softbox Perfect For Group Photography

Perfect size and easy to work with even for a newbie.

Excellent Octa

Easy to transport, easy to setup and use. Much better than a metal one.

Simply easy

Just right.

I love this octa. Sets up and breaks down in seconds. Saves loads of time settings up for outdoor shoot.

I love this Octa!

I have several soft boxes that we use for studio and on scene shoots.  This is perfect for on scene shoots and is super quick to setup!

Great product and fast setup

Im new to photography so this was the first soft box i bought. I been using a friends beauty dish for some time but realized quickly that the beauty dish is to get certain looks. 

This Octabox is the was package small which I like but opens up to the exact size of 36 inches that I needed. Comes with the grid and both interior and exterior diffusions. What put the icing on the cake for me was the plate that it came with which would allow me to get a similar look to the beauty dish on just this one Octabox. 

If you are looking for a well round softbox then you cant go wrong with this octabox at all. Best bang for the buck.

Great Product for a great price

Pro: Great size to take on the go
Con: you have to screw and unscrew a plate evertime to open and close

Great product. Arrived on time. And no damage to my equipment.
