Glow EZ Lock 25" Collapsible White Beauty Dish Softbox w/Bowens Mount Speedring and Deflection Disk, 16 Ribbed Design Soft Box w/White Interior for Perfect Lighting and Beauty Dish Photograph

I am pleasantly surprised with this. I’ve used beauty dishes in the past and wasn’t knocked out with the harshness of a silver dish. This one in white and easily packable is outstanding. For headshots and portraits this 25” dish functions as both a beauty dish and a small soft box. Really a very versatile part of my kit now..

Excelente, original

Very nice product of this type. The materials and construction are very good. Good details. I am pleased with the purchase. Just be aware that due to the materials used (especially the metal rods and plate inside), it is heavier than a typical softbox of comparable size, so have a suitable light stand to support it and your flash. That said, this unit is nicely made, and a very good value, when compared to similar products from "name brands" that have much higher prices. I looked at many other "beauty dish" types, and selected this one. I am glad I did.

pops up easy comes down easy. the white interior gives off very appealing light vs the shiny reflectors which can allow for it to be easily used without the scrim. I dont use it as much as I used to because even though it folds down quickly, it does not lay flat, so the round Bowens mount side still takes up a good amount of space. Still great though

PROS: Material quality is very durable and well made. Can be partially assembled with spokes in place and light attached before hand, then quickly opened and closed (like an umbrella) on location. Good value for the money. I expect to enjoy this for a long time. CONS: Unlike the larger sizes of this same dish, the inner reflector bowl can only be used concave side towards the light. this is due to them using the same reflector size throughout the line. This particular 25" umbrella is too small for the reflector bowl to be used convex side towards the light. I was quite disappointed as this was one of the features that attracted me to the product. If you're new to beauty dishes, being able to switch the reflector around, convex towards the bulb, gives a more intense light that increases range and is very useful for that wide outdoor shot where the dish has to stay out of frame. One of these days, I'll have the reflector diameter cut down about half inch and that should give it enough clearance for the umbrella spokes to open fully and lock into place. I contacted Adorama about this issue and they said they would correct the ad.
