I'm looking to get a Glow Parapop 38" softbox, but from I can see, it is an Adorama house brand and expensive to get in the UK. I only see it on Amazon and the postage is £160!
Does anyone know if it is marketed under any other names or if anything is available similar in the UK. What I like about it / looking for:
- Can be setup easily without putting the softbox on the ground e.g.: you pull out each of the rods one at a time, rather than having to put pressure on a central opening mechanism (which in my experience is really hard to do unless you put your softbox on the ground (potentially in the mud!).
- Light - bowens mount and rods are primarily plastic.
- Can be opened closed without messing with the diffusers.
- Has 16 rods/segements - so yo get a rounder catch-light than other octas.
Any ideas?
Thanks
