Thank You for Choosing Glow

• The Glow ParaSnap NewGen Softbox with Sterling Fibre™M is a brilliantly designed solution for instant setup and breakdown in a fraction of the time it takes to set up a standard Softbox.
• Do you like Glow EZ Lock modifiers? Who doesn’t? The advanced easy open and close system won the hearts of many image makers with its direct setup.
• As great as EZ Lock is, Glow found a faster and simpler way to prep a Softbox – ParaSnap. With a single swing and snap motion, the ParaSnap NewGen opens and locks into the classic shape favored by fashion and portrait photographers.
• Introducing the Glow SterlingFibre™M silver lining, a revolutionary quilted fabric interior that optimizes and maximizes your light output; no hot spots, no light loss, and excellent for all skin tones. Removable inner and outer diffusers create an even more luxurious beam and solve most contrast issues when capturing a variety of skin tones and values. The exquisite yield boasts heavenly lighting, with round catchlights in the subject’s eyes. The ParaSnap is the perfect size for accomplishing portraits on the dime, with terrific portability and adaptability to serve on all sorts of moonlights – with a snap!
• The most extraordinary speeding swap in the industry.
• Perhaps the best silver interior finish is found in any softbox, with little or no output dark spots or hotspots.
• Light shaping has never been so convenient.

Tech Note

Fast.

• Not only does the ParaSnap NewGen Softbox with SterlingFibre™M deploy in an instant, but the daunting task of switching speedings to fit a variety of studio and speedlight standards takes on a new definition with tool-free ease. Flip the chamber open, slip out the old ring, and close the cover on the new connecter.

Faster.

• The Glow brand is synonymous with flash modifier excellence, the most coveted line of light shapers today. Never before has constructing, deploying, and modifying a Softbox of any brand been simpler. Gone are the hesitations to use the best lighting effect due to the struggle to build a perfect Softbox. The ParaSnap NewGen Softbox with SterlingFibre™M is ready for action in a snap.

Fastest.

• Exclusivity is a rarity, but Glow has done it again! We call our exciting new advanced interior design, SterlingFibre™M. The heart of any Softbox is the space that reflects the flash within the ‘box’. The silvered surfaces ‘sees’ the light that faces it. The superior quilted interior means ultimate output. Typically, the nature of an umbrella or rectangular bank light cannot capture all of the strobes burst without including dark spots on the reflective surface. With SterlingFibre™M, little light is lost as the wafered character picks up all of the monolight’s flash burst and brings it to focus outward to the front diffusers. The ParaSnap NewGen Softbox with SterlingFibre™M, with output as no other.
• The Sterling Fibre™M Silver Lining is a significant advantage. Unlike any other silver interiors, the efficiency of the shape and the position of the flashed is less critical due to the innovative silver fabric design. Take a close look at the surface. It’s not smooth. The wafer-quilted bump pattern captures light from all angles, including the facing elements. No dark spots arise. All of the output from the moonlight is captured by the bowl, and projected forward through the optionally employed diffusion layers. SterlingFibre™M eliminates blind spots and creates the most efficient softbox in the photo universe.
