There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I've been a photographer for several years, but always shied away from artificial light for some reason--I guess I felt intimidated. But in recent months, I've started to get frustrated at having to "wait" for the right lighting conditions to get some of the shots I want to get--especially indoors near windows...
So I bought a Godox SL-60W (continuous light), and paired it with the Glow 38" deep parabolic softbox.
Value:
Initially, I thought about buying a Neewer modifier--I have a few of their light stands, and they make quality gear--but some of their reviews say their Bowens Mounts don't always pair with the Godox SL-60W. So then I looked at a Godox modifier... but then I noticed the price. I'd have to pay a little over $100 bucks for a 38" modifier, and another $30 for the grid... Nope.
Enter the Glow 38" deep parabolic modifier... It gets great reviews, is easy to use, is made of sturdy, high-quality material, and comes all-in-one (the modifier, two diffusion panels, a reflector disk, a carry case, AND the grid) all for around $90 bucks! Oh--and it pairs perfectly with my Godox SL-60W. No issues there.
Material:
This thing is solid. The inner metal and aluminum materials aren't flimsy at all. The umbrella mechanism locks snugly into the open position and stays there--no fiddling with it to make it stay open. The outer shell is durable, as are the diffusion panels. The carry case is a non-padded, nylon zipper case. And the inner material is a nice shiny silver material--so the light bounces around inside it brightly.
Ease of use:
I've seen YouTube videos of customers who bought other brand's modifiers having to fiddle with the appendages to put it all together, like making a camping tent--sliding little poles through little flaps--very tedious looking.
Not so with the Glow modifier.
I literally unzipped the carry case, pulled it out--set it on the floor (mount side down), and pushed the thing open like any umbrella. It locked in place with a satisfying "snick", and stayed there. I didn't have to insert any rods, or do anything tedious or fiddly. I didn't have to velcro on a second outer panel--this thing is literally ready to go (minus the diffusion panels) out of the box.
Next, I snapped (yes, it uses snaps and little stretchy elastic strips) the inner diffusion panel into place.
(I didn't install the reflector disk--but have it on standby in case I want to try it later. This softbox has a zipper near the Bowens Mount--so I can unzip, reach inside, and attach the disk if I want to. I can also reach the button to collapse the softbox from that same zipper opening. I use that zipper opening to reach inside and grab hold of the sturdy aluminum bits when I connect the modifier to my light--very helpful opening.)
Next I connected the outer diffusion panel via velcro.
Lastly, I attached the grid (it uses velcro as well).
I connected it to my Godox light, mounted it to my light stand--and BOOM! Light! Nice, soft, diffused light.
Took me less than 5 minutes.
In my case, since I only have the 60 watt Godox continuous light, I noticed the light wasn't as "bright" as I'd hoped. I decided to remove the inner diffusion panel--so my light would be a bit brighter. It worked. I was initially afraid I'd have a "hot spot" without the inner diffuser--but no worries--no hot spot. That parabolic softbox must bend the light just right inside--so there's no hotspot.
I don't have any off-camera flash systems (yet)--no speed lights, no studio strobes--But when I get one, I know which brand I'm going with when I need another modifier. Glow doesn't disappoint!
If you're looking to control your light, this 38" deep parabolic modifier from Glow is a quality softbox that packs in some great features at a relatively low price. I recommend it!
i leave the diffusers and grid in place as i use them all the time.
the one issue i have and one most others seem to have as well is the snaps holding the inner diffuser in place. man-o-man are these things hard to remove! i feel it's just a matter of time before something rips or tears.
so, about 1/2 hr with a hot glue gun and some small velcro strips, i bypassed the snaps. the snaps are still there and will work but now i just use the small velcro tabs. problem solved!
