10/10 Would strip again.

Construction of reflector materials, rods, and baffles are of high quality. The product is easy to setup and use. It would have been great to have grids included for more control.

Space efficient beaty

Have been using for over two years, high quality materials. Great light, recommend with 250Ws or higher light source for max flexibility. Easy enough to disassemble once you grt a hang of it. Unique product as how thin and space efficient it is for small home studio.

The setup is a disaster w this soft box. Look at other options.

This thing is a disaster to setup. Spend more for a better option. The setup is painful.

Used the box last week and will be using it every week in August for our current commission work.

The box is not only a perfect size me, but the light quality is perfection!

Great for the price!

This is a good size softbox, been wanting one for a while. Got the flashpoint XPLOR light and this as a package and saved even more. Easy to set up but does not pop quickly down, so know that you either take it down in between shoots or find a large space to keep it set up. It’s so large, beautiful light. Love the price. Love Adorama! Always helpful and knowledgeable. Great YouTube channel too.

2nd one. Absolutely beautiful light for full body and large group shots.

LOOK: It does not come with adapter. Buy the aluminum Glow Speed Ring Adapter to fit Bowens Mount. It is 30.00 and worth every penny. I use it with the Xplor 600. Great setup. Use this for full body shots. The wrap around is excellent. I bought a 2nd one for large group shots. The spread is perfect for groups of 60 plus. Clients were very happy. I use the two layers of diffusion when shooting full body and medium shots. I only use one layer when doing large groups. Buy a good stand and always use a sandbag when doing exteriors. They are like little kites. I would recommend this to anyone looking to do larger shots, mediums shot and even close ups. The catch light (eye light) makes eye pop!

Great Value

If it lasts half as long as the other soft boxes that have discolored or have been destroyed it will be a great value. Bottom line is great quality of light for the money.

Works nice

Nice consistent light. Overall high quality. The front cover is a bit short by 1 inch on all sides, you have to squeeze the edges a bit so it'll attach to the velcro. It would be great if it's just a tad larger for the front cover. Inside cover probably should've used hooks instead of buttons, it's hard to remove.

Works fine

Works as intended. Only real negative is the slow setup time and slight difficulty setting up each time.

24x36 Glow Softbox

I bought this softbox because I already had one and I wanted to maintain consistent color temps and exposure. Good product. Durable. Very good diffusion across the panels. I would, indeed, recommend.

Softbox

By Lisa R.

Easy to break down and reassemble. Wish I ordered another. Next purchase!

Perfect size for your first softbox.

By CRAIG W.

It's softbox and puts out soft light with a size that's versatile to be used for a backdrop when shooting high key head shots in limited space. The quality and construction of this unit is good.

Glow Softbox Octo 36" - R Series is the ultimate 'one source' people light. The 36" Octobox 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.
The highlight /shadow ratio is optimized with a concentrated focus of illumination from the special bowl reflector, reverse umbrella design. There is exceptional light efficiency in this design and the flattering results reveal human form with grace and warmth.

Glow Softbox Octo 36" 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.

Every Glow - R Series product features removable double diffusers. Light spread is extremely even, pleasing and contrast balanced. Reinforced support rod pockets, seams and Velcro closures make assembly and setup trouble-free.
