If you're seeking to elevate your photography or videography with professional-grade lighting control, the Adorama Glow 8x8' Portable Butterfly Light Modifier Collapsible Kit is your quintessential solution. This versatile kit is engineered for photographers and videographers who demand both quality and convenience in their lighting equipment.Constructed with a lightweight yet durable 1-inch square anodized hollow aluminum frame, the Glow 8x8 Butterfly Scrim Kit is designed for effortless assembly. The hinged joints ensure a stable square structure, reinforced with eight locking points to maintain its shape during use. When it's time to pack up, the entire frame collapses down to a compact 4' x 6" x 3", fitting snugly into its own zippered bag for easy transportation and storage.The transformative power of this kit lies in its ability to soften and control harsh lighting. The main diffusion material, a translucent silk-type fabric, is bungee-fastened through eyelets onto the frame, creating a vast 8x8' diffused light source. This material expertly moderates light intensity, reducing it by approximately one stop, and is ideal for creating gentle, controllable illumination for both still photography and video.For added creative flexibility, the kit includes a solid black light-absorbing fabric, providing a striking background that makes subjects pop. Additionally, a solid chroma green cloth is provided for those looking to implement digital background substitution, further expanding the kit's versatility.Transporting the various fabrics is a breeze, thanks to a separate carry case designed to hold all three materials securely. The Glow 8x8 Butterfly Scrim frame is optimally supported by C Stands, such as the Flashpoint FPLSC, and includes two C Stand Adapter Brackets for secure mounting. Whether used outdoors with weights or sandbags to temper sunlight, or in the studio to precisely control light diffusion and strength, this kit is indispensable for achieving flattering portraits and fashion imagery.Moreover, the sheer size of the scrim allows for creative placement of light sources, enabling photographers to experiment with dramatic and interesting lighting effects. The Glow 8x8' Portable Butterfly Light Modifier Collapsible Kit is not just a tool but a gateway to artistic expression, ensuring that your subjects are always seen in the best light.

This is honestly a lot larger than I was expecting. The frame is also a lot sturdier than I expected it to be due to tiger reviews. So far,y only complaint is about the bands that it comes with, which everyone says is too large, and they are correct. But that is negligible and easily fixed.

Overall, satisfied

This is a class A product.  Solid quality C stands and a great frame,  Is it a bit pricey though?

This is a class A product.

Amazing for the price! After 1 day of use, one of the corner pieces started bending. But it is a great deal. We are just going to leave it up in our studio and it is great for what we are using it for. Super happy with it. and would definitely recommend it to friends.

Amazing for the price

I bought this 8x8 in 2020 and it's completely unusable now. I wish I would've just spent the extra $ for a better frame. The aluminum is very cheaply made and has bent over the years. The locking clasps are a pain to take on and off. The black fabric is not a solid, it's partially transparent.. useless when trying to block out light. I'm giving this 2 stars because I can see it being great for someone who's using this in a studio and leaves it built 24/7.

Wouldn't Recommend, Buy a better frame

The frame is lightweight and sturdy. The screen materials seem to be sewn together well. The ties for the screen to the frame are not my favorite and I wish there was a better design. I'm not sure why these manufacturers make such delicate travel cases for these products. Really needs to have a more robust zipper And better sewing for the carry bag

Frame

I should have noticed in the specs sheet, but notably the 12x12 only comes with a grid cloth fabric whereas the 8x8 also comes with a black and green screen fabric in addition to the grid cloth.

Perfect for what it is. 
Great price.
Not quite as rigid as the more expensive frames.
I wish it was able to collapse a bit shorter for easier transportation.

Great for what it is.

This is a great 8x8 scrim. I love the folding frame. Very solid for the price. Folds so much more compact then a solid pipe frame.

Compact/solid/great price.

Large and works well! I?ve used the white/translucent scrim and the black one. The black on didn?t fit as tightly onto the frame, but still worked very well. I used them outdoors to block and/or diffuse sunlight when doing all-day sessions back-to-back. I can?t control the sun, so have to work around it on days like this. I have not much use for the green screen fabric, so can?t really review it. The frame seems sturdy, as do the fabrics. So far, so good!

Helpful for all-day outdoor sessions!

Nice scrim , comes with nice carrying bag and pretty sturdy.

Giant scrim job

The product is the greatest value purchase we have made in quite a long time. Definitely intend to buy tye 12x, wish they made a 6x too.

Bang For the Buck

This bad boy is huge! Well made and at a price point that was within my budget.

Gets the job done!

A+! Perfect for my studio without question.

Studio perfect!

love it. Softest and most even lighting you can get in the studio

If you have the space must have

Excellent product and showed up exactly on time.

Fantastic company

This Glow 8x8? Portable Butterfly light Modifier Collapsible Kit is awesome. Easy to set up and take down with your crew. Make sure to put sandbags on your C-Stands. As you could see in the photo. It really helps out to get the right lighting on set. Great price at Adorama.

Awesome

The product is great especially for the price. However the carrying case it comes with tears very easily. I would recommend this product.

Great product for the price.

Great diffusion

Great product! Sturdy easy to use! I might but another for a backup.

Great product

Great product at a great price. Perfect for photography or video

Great value

Unfortunately I can't recommend this kit. It's fine if you leave it up but if you're going to break it down the brackets are very soft and will bend. I've only taken it apart twice and it's almost unusable now. I'd spend a little more and get an Avenger or Matthews.

Fine if you're not going to break it down often.

Affordable, quality product, and great customer service!

Amazing Experience

Great product! This 12x12 butterfly has helped a handful of our productions so far. Just make sure you pair this with heavy duty C-stands. The product does not come with C-stands, but it does come with the heavy-duty clamps. Great purchase!

Great purchase!

I really enjoy how sturdy this is. As soon as I purchased it, I used it 4 times within 3 days and it held up and did exactly what I needed it for. The carrying bag is a big plus. 

My assistant is buying one now.

This was a great buy.

Perfect

Study and effective

is good for the price

Works well in my studio and easy to set up ....

Amazing product

All parts received. Heavier than expected, but seems sturdy.

As Expected.

For the price - this is a great pick up for any skill level. The fold out frame and ear build is fantastic for the price. It packs away nicely and comes with a few key sheets for everyday use. You will need stands and bags to safely use this so be prepared to buy those as well. It's not as hardy as some higher end butterfly kits and can lead to some pinched fingers - but relative with it's price point I would suggest anyone who needs a large source get this Adorama item.
