25-inch Octa Quick Softbox

The Glow Edge EZ Lock 25" Octa Quick Softbox is an eight-sided parabolic light modifier designed for studio and location photography. Its EZ Lock mechanism allows the softbox to open and close like an umbrella without rod assembly. A Bowens mount provides compatibility with a wide range of strobes and continuous lights. The package includes a reversible opaque deflector and an eggcrate grid for light control.

Portrait and fashion photographers needing fast

This softbox suits photographers who want a collapsible modifier that deploys in seconds for head-to-toe portraits or small groups. The reversible deflector offers three contrast levels for varying skin-tone rendering. Shooters requiring larger coverage for full-body groups or expansive product sets will find the 25-inch diameter limiting and should consider a bigger modifier.

25-inch diameter with parabolic depth

The 25-inch octagonal surface wraps light around a single subject or a small group, producing soft highlights with defined catchlights. The deep parabolic profile throws light forward, giving usable output at moderate distances while keeping spill controlled. At longer throws or with very large groups the modifier reaches its coverage limit and light fall-off becomes pronounced.

Questions about this item

Does this softbox include a Bowens-mount speedring or do I need to buy one separately?

The quick speedring swap is built in, so the Bowens mount is ready to use without a separate purchase.

Will the 25-inch Octa Quick Softbox balance on a light stand rated for smaller modifiers?

The collapsible aluminium ribs keep weight low and the centre shaft centres the load, letting it sit securely on standard stands that handle similar-sized octaboxes.

How can I verify the reversible deflector and eggcrate grid are altering contrast as intended?

Fire a test frame at each deflector setting — white, silver, removed — then add the grid; the catchlights shift from broad wrap to a tighter, directional pattern you can see on the subject.
