Glow EZ Lock 36" Octa Quick Softbox

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!

Love it, use it frequently. Easy to set up and store. Strong build quality.

So far, all has worked very well. As with anything, if you abuse it , it won't last. It's well made in my opinion and works like a rain umbrella. Easy to pop open and close down just take your time and realize that, just like your camera, things are fragile and if you rush or just don't pay attention, you may damage the rods. For the price, it beats the Rapid box by far and I have 2 of the rapid boxes as well because they are made with the same principle of opening and closing BUT....They are much more expensive and if you want a grid for a rapid box, you pay dearly for it. That being said, I really like this product and would recommend it to any beginner or pro. For the price, it can't be beat. AS A SIDE NOTE: On December 4th , I purchased the Glow EZ Lock Quick Octa Large Softbox on Amazon but it was sold and delivered by Adorama. I bought 2 of them and they were delivered 2 days later. One of the packages had the wrong accessory package in it and the diffuser’s, where the wrong size. They must have pulled the wrong accessory package when packing for shipping.. After contacting the Adorama and explaining the issue, sending pictures and my proof of purchase, I had little faith things would work out because in 99% of the cases, customer service is nonexistent anymore. I was totally wrong about Adorama. THEY CAME THROUGH!!!. I was kind of worried because they wanted me to keep the original package and bar code and I didn’t have it because when I opened the first box and all was perfect, I only opened the Soft box on the second package, just to make sure the mechanism worked right but didn’t try the grid, or the diffusers and assumed all was good and cut up the boxes. Only when I went to use the second softbox did I realize the problem. BUT….Adorama took care of the issue correctly and today I received my correct diffusers and my Christmas photo shoots can go on as planned. Thank you Adorama for your customer service and getting my situation straight. I don’t regret going through Amazon because I have Prime and their credit card so it makes life easy and I truly will only buy my photography equipment from Adorama from now on, whether direct purchase or through Amazon but it’s going to be Adorama without a doubt.

I love my 36" Glow EZ Lock octobox, it is a great addition to my collection. The lighting it produces is beautiful, not to mention, as with all the other Glow products its easy to use and at a great price point.

Wondering why all softboxes aren’t made like this. The fact that all I have to do is press down on the center and it locks in is fantastic. No more assembling rods. I can bring this anywhere in the carrying case and takes up so little room in my vehicle. Price is great too and blows the similar westcott easy assemble soft box prices out of the water.

The 36” has been my most used octa box. It’s spread will cover up to 6 people in a single frame and is as portable as the 25” version. If I had to pick between this and the 25”, I’d definitely go with this one as it works magic on couples and single subjects. The fall off is butter smooth and it’s wrap-around execution is awesome.

Effective, inexpensive softbox. Note: if you plan on using this with Aputure LED lights you will need to file/grind down part of the Bowen’s mount metal speed ring. I’m not sure whether it is Glow or Aputure who’s product is out of spec so I don’t want to assign blame. It’s an easy fix and well worth it.

This is an awesome softbox and many pros use this with great results. It can pack away with the diffusers installed and produces good light. I use this with either my godox v1, ad 200, or ad 600 depending on my needs.
