Glow EZ Lock 60" Octagon Softbox for Bowens-Mount Lights, Silver Interior, Dual Diffusers, Eggcrate Grid, Deflector Disc & Carry Bag, Compatible with Godox, NEEWER & Aputure, 1 Year Limited Warranty

I'll compare this item to the Godox softbox that I bought for half the price. The Godox started to get some tears after a few months and it was impossible to disassemble without potentially breaking it. Still, it boasted a great price if you intended to leave it set up in the studio. The Glow EZ is the softbox you want for travel and outdoor work. It's similar to bringing around an umbrella and it sets up about as easily. It's massive, so the light is beautiful and soft. It has a little reflector you can attach to the center that eliminates the hotspot from the strobe. That's great if you care about even lighting on someone's face. The grid it comes with is essential for controlling where the light hits. It's a huge light source, so without a grid it will wash over everything. Sometimes that's what you want, but you've got the option of creating a more dramatic look. The picture I'm uploading is a test shot I did while using it for the first time. Those are just some wrinkled curtains in the background and I didn't bother using a rimlight, but this pic should still give you an idea of the quality of light you can expect

The Glow EZ Lock Quick Octa Large is fantastic! It’s super easy to set up and take down thanks to the quick-lock system. The octa shape provides beautiful, soft, and even lighting, perfect for portraits and video work. The build feels sturdy and durable, and the size is just right for versatile use. Definitely a must-have for anyone serious about lighting!

This octabox is BIG. Great for group photos, but with the grid, also great for individual portraits. Fits perfectly with the Bowens mount onto a Westcott FJ400. Use a sturdy light stand, preferably a C-Stand, with sandbags if you want to ensure it doesn't tip over. It's light enough, but don't take the risk not to. The only flaw is that the threads for the extension to use the parabolic deflector disc are not properly cut. You can screw it in a little bit, but not all the way. Easy to unfold and mount, the umbrella-type construction means you don't have to mess with rods.

I am an idiot. Even though I’ve had a little 36? 37? inch Glow Octobox that I have adored for years… When it was time to step up to a 48, I didn’t even think to check if Glow made one. Oops. I bought two other trusted brand boxes, both advertising “sUPeR fAsT sETuP!!!” and then receiving a traditional, “slide the pins into the little pockets and pray they don’t fall out” ancient style boxes that you have to fiddle with every time you set them up. Accidentally grab the frame and pull it out of the material? Congrats you just added 15 minutes to your setup time, and now you get to reassemble your softbox while clients are waiting. After finally realizing “hey maybe Glow makes a big one?” and grabbing this, it’s a dream come true for the guys who set up and breakdown multiple times daily. It has a zipper on the side so you can stick your hand in the box to collapse it instead of awkwardly shoving your hand through the Velcro / diffusion layer to get it closed. High quality material, price is right on par with the others. Even if I had a more permanent studio environment I’d STILL get this beast over the others. You never know what kind of shooter you’ll be in a few years. Might as well get one with portability.

Great box all around. Very large but not too deep. Excelent light modifier for portraits.

Works great, I love glow products and I love how fast we can set these up. The only complaint I have is the velcro seems to shed quite a bit. I worry about the plastic threads because they are pretty stiff and could maybe embed into the skin as we work with a lot of gymnasts who are barefoot. When I take the diffusion fabric off the hard little loops fly off everywhere. Other than that it's a great soft box, and the price is right.

Size matters. I bought this to help make some beautiful soft lighting in my photography work. It is easy to set up and take down. The build quality is top notch and super easy to take from the shop to the field.

Great light. I'm a beginner with studio lighting but it's so easy to use and wonderful light dispersement. Used for a portable studio for graduation headshots and they came out great.
