Description
The Glow EZ Lock 48" OCTA QUICK SOFTBOX
sports a dynamic eight-sided deep parabolic shape featuring flattering, soft and luxurious color lighting with all the significant advantages of the softbox/umbrella quality with an unbeatable safe and sure EZ positive and lock system. No more clumsy construction fumbling of flex resistant rods, or frustration for careful alignment of speedring holes. The 8-ribbed softbox opens up and closes down, 'umbrella style.' The self-catch EZ Lock surrounds a thick center shaft, providing a comfortable place for your fingers to push-lock the mechanism open, and a generously sized release to close the softbox painlessly. The quick-to-setup umbrella-like assembly has all the advantages of a metallic magnum style reflector without the delicate nature. This collapsible unit was borne for the road or studio, with sturdy aluminum support rods for structural stability and extraordinary fabric strength.
This extra-large 48-inch diameter edition of the Octa Quick Softbox is especially suitable for everything from fashion to portraiture, illuminating an entire person and small groups with smooth, nonetheless, exciting light. The finely finished silver interior lining makes it easy to achieve magnificent specular highlights, brings out sharp details, and provides the most focused indirect lighting, along with soft shadow definition. The shadows are slight and beautifully graduated. Colors are saturated and vibrant without the flat pancake 'flashpan' look of the direct strobe. Enjoy a full and voluptuous lighting experience that caressesyour subject; where the highlights and catchlights are more appealing. The parabolic reflector shape directs all the light in one controllable direction. 130mm interchangeable speedring inserts open a world of adaptability to almost any speedlight, monolight or large barebulb strobe to serve as an optimal tool for mastering all location situations where quality counts.
Mastering the light is no accident.
The
reversible opaque deflector
cover causes light to bounce throughout and flood the wall of the outer bowl of the softbox, resulting in a softer spread of indirect light. By flipping the deflector disk, you can realize differing levels of light distribution. Used independently, the inner diffuser can function as a central circular panel to diffuse hotspots, while maintaining the pop of the silvered rim of material extending beyond its position. The use of both outer and inner combine double diffusion material goes even farther to produce very soft light, thereby providing no less than three levels of contrast, sharpness, and dimension.
With the included Eggcrate Grid,
you gain more control of a light source's beam by covering the front of the softbox with the grid, virtually eliminating spill. The 30° grid feathers the light creating an attractive shadow, separating the subject and the background. This strong directionality can be used to add high key depth for fashion images, and emphasise the model facial structure as well as the eyes, lips, nose, and chin. The lightweight accessory attaches to the rim of the softbox with a Velcro that follows the perimeter of the grid. Makes you look like an absolute lightmaster.
The EZ Lock system
adds practical advantages, strength, and speed to the daunting task of quality light modification on the run and in the studio. With much attention to minutia in its sturdy build, from resilient form-fitting fabric to flexible aluminum frame ribs, this GLOW EZ LOCK 48" OCTA QUICK SOFTBOX sets the standard for portable light control for people and subjects.
As with all fine Glow products
, this OCTA QUICK SOFTBOX comes packaged in a fitted, durable fabric pouch, which protects it during transport and storage.
