FEATURED REVIEWS
Great light, way cheaper than the equivalent Parapop but there are compromises...
I have two of the Glow 34" Beauty Dish modifiers, and two Glow Parapop 38" modifiers. These have very similar light and are fair to compare. The 34" BD is a folding umbrella mechanism, while the Parapop has fiberglass rods that snap into place on the speedring. The 34" BD has more metal parts and seems more robust, where the Parapop is more plastic, lighter and seemingly more fragile. The 34" BD is less than half as expensive as the Parapop. And the 34" BD includes both a deflector plate and ...

Glow EZ Lock 25" vs. Westcott Rapid Box 26"
After upgrading my lights to Flashpoint AD600s, I needed new modifiers because I didn't want to try to adapt my existing speedlight modifiers with Bowens mounts. I put my Rapid Box on Ebay, sold it and immediately ordered the Glow EZ Lock. After setting it up the first time, my first reaction was to how sturdy it was compared to the Wescott. The material used just feels thicker and tougher. Setting up is similar to the Rapid Box; In some ways it's faster and in other ways slower. Faster: P...

Take your photography to the next level with the GLOW EZ LOCK 42" WHITE BEAUTY DISH, a portable and highly efficient light modifier renowned for producing iconic fashion and portrait imagery. This beauty dish features the innovative EZ Lock system, eliminating the hassle of traditional assembly. Say goodbye to the struggle with rigid rods and tedious alignment of speedring holes. The 16-ribbed design effortlessly opens and collapses like an umbrella, making setup and breakdown a breeze.
The EZ Lock mechanism is centered around a robust thick shaft, offering a secure grip for your fingers to lock the dish into place, and a wide button for a pain-free release. This quick-to-assemble, quasi-parabolic reflector combines the allure of a traditional beauty dish with the practicality of a collapsible modifier, ensuring it withstands the rigors of location travel without the risk of damage associated with metallic dishes.
Constructed with durable aluminum support rods and high-strength fabric, this 42" beauty dish is designed for on-the-go photographers without compromising on structural stability. It's an ideal choice for head and shoulder portraits, dramatic figure studies, and excels in tight spaces where larger softboxes and umbrellas might not fit.
The double reflector system within the beauty dish softens the light twice, creating a unique lighting effect that blends the qualities of direct flash and a softbox. The result is a wraparound illumination with more contrast and a focused beam, perfect for adding depth and dimension to your subject. The white interior finish ensures a soft output, enhancing subtle details and textures.
Central to the beauty dish's design is a reversible opaque deflector cover that prevents direct light from striking the subject. Instead, light is redirected off the inner deflector plate, filling the outer bowl with a broad spread of softer, indirect light. This produces a gentler effect than a standard reflector and significantly less harshness than a speedlight. By adjusting the deflector plate, photographers can achieve varying levels of light distribution.
The Glow EZ Lock Beauty Dish is versatile, suitable for use with monolights and flash heads, and is favored by photographers for its ability to sculpt facial features and create captivating shadows and catchlights. The larger 42" diameter offers a wider beam, ideal for illuminating larger subjects and spaces, yet delivers the most striking results when used close to the subject.
For an even more controlled lighting effect, the Glow EZ Lock Beauty Dish can be paired with the Eggcrate Grid accessory. This grid narrows the light beam, softens hard light, and minimizes spill, allowing for precise lighting that accentuates high-key details and the model's facial contours.
The beauty dish easily attaches to Bowens mount with the included speedring, and with additional Glow adapters (sold separately), it can be adapted to fit nearly any monolight or flash head. For speedlights and barebulb strobes, the Glow S-Type Speedlite Bracket With Bowens S-Mount offers seamless compatibility.
Elevate your lighting setup with the Glow EZ Lock 42" White Beauty Dish, a must-have tool for photographers seeking to create professional, high-quality images with ease and precision.
