Large octagonal softbox with collapsible frame on tall air-cushioned light stand

Glow Edge

Glow Edge 48" EZ Lock Octa Quick XL Bowens Softbox with 9.5' Air Cushioned Light Stand

SKU CH-T80N-NP566

A 48-inch octagonal softbox with Bowens mount and EZ Lock mechanism bundles a 9.5-foot air-cushioned light stand for quick, stable setup

  • EZ Lock system enables fast umbrella-style setup
  • 48-inch octagonal parabolic shape creates soft flattering light
  • Bowens mount fits a wide range of studio strobes
  • Sturdy aluminium rods give structural stability for location work
  • 5-foot air-cushioned stand protects gear during height changes

48-inch EZ Lock Octa Softbox

The Glow Edge 48-inch EZ Lock Octa Quick XL softbox uses an eight-sided deep parabolic shape with a Bowens mount. The EZ Lock mechanism opens and closes like an umbrella without flex-resistant rods or speed-ring alignment. It suits fashion, portrait and small-group sessions where broad, soft coverage is needed.

Tool-free setup with positive lock

The self-catching EZ Lock slides on a thick centre shaft and locks with a finger push; a large release lever closes the frame without struggle. Eight sturdy aluminium rods hold the fabric taut once deployed, and the whole unit folds flat for transport.

Check Bowens mount and stand capacity

Verify that your strobe or continuous light uses a Bowens-compatible mount before ordering. The included 9.5-foot air-cushioned stand must be rated for the combined weight of the softbox and your light head; confirm the stand’s load limit matches your kit.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the EZ Lock mechanism is properly engaged on the 48" Octa Quick XL Softbox?

When the softbox opens umbrella-style, push the center shaft until the self-catch EZ Lock clicks into place around the thick shaft; the frame should feel rigid with no wobble, and the release lever must stay seated until you deliberately squeeze it to collapse the unit.

What accessories come in the bundle and which items must be purchased separately?

The bundle includes the 48" EZ Lock Octa Quick XL Softbox with Bowens mount and a 9.5' air-cushioned light stand; you will need to supply a Bowens-mount strobe or continuous light, any diffusion panels or grids you prefer, and sandbags for stand stability.

Which version of the Octa Quick XL should I choose for full-length portrait and small-group work?

The 48-inch diameter extra-large edition is designed to illuminate an entire person and small groups with smooth, wraparound light, making it the appropriate choice for fashion and portrait sessions that require broad, even coverage.
