These are 100% brand new, not opened. I received with a bundle but I already have equivalents. This should be a nice "bundle" for someone interested in expanding their off camera flash experience.

Glow HexaPop 24" Portable Softbox

Glow Handheld Grip S-Type Bracket Bowens

$90.00 Shipped for Both

The softbox is typically listed at closer to $150, as seen here: https://camelcamelcamel.com/product/B00G1WO5FM

However, it seems to be under $100 for about a year now, so I suppose that's the price it settled at.

So, with gear like this, the softbox will mount to the grip/bracket via what is called a bowens mount. This particular bracket has a molded handgrip into it which will be fine for this size softbox, it just means you'd have to have someone holding it. It also will mount to a lightstand. With that being said, it doesn't seem this particular bracket gets the best reviews. It will be ok for a "starter" but seriously a Godox branded Bowens Mount will treat you much better.

Another word on Bowens mounts. The more expensive studio strobes will oftentimes have a Bowens mount built into it. In other words, if you buy an expensive enough strobe, you can mount a softbox directly to it. However, over recent years since battery powered flashes/strobes have become more prevalent, mounts such as these have hit the market so you can take a typical Speedlite (in my case a Flashpoint/Godox AD200) and mount it in the mount. Then the mount mounts to a light modifier, such as a softbox and typically a light stand too.
