[QUOTE="hark, post: 710932, member: 13196"] I will. Although I am a big fan of MagMod products, the grip that is required to hold the MagBox (their version of a softbox) received mixed reviews. Too many of the grips were breaking, and they didn't offer an alternative way to mount the MagBox. It can only be mounted with their own grip. So that's why I decided to look for a different portable softbox. The Photix Raja also looked like a viable option - and possibly it's something I will get in the future. The problem when using a beauty dish outside (which the Glow EZ lock includes) is the additional weight. And I'm thinking along the lines of stability when it comes to windy days. That's why it took me so long to decide whether to go with the Glow EZ Lock (with a beauty dish) vs. the Photix Raja without one. But if the weight of the beauty dish is an issue, I can try using the Glow EZ Lock without it. The problem when using a softbox without a beauty dish is the hot spot that it creates. I'll see how it goes! ;) [/QUOTE]
