From the studio to on-location shoots, the Westcott 59" Zeppelin Para Softbox stands out as a premier lighting modifier for professional photographers who demand precision lighting control. This deep parabolic softbox is meticulously crafted to deliver a stunning, wraparound quality of light that is ideal for commercial, fashion, and portrait photography.
Constructed with exceptional attention to detail, the Zeppelin features 16 heavy-duty, heat-resistant rods that ensure durability and long-lasting performance. The robust build quality is complemented by precise needlework, adding to the softbox's professional-grade appeal.
The Zeppelin's deep parabolic design is engineered to produce a focused and even light spread that wraps around your subject, yielding natural-looking highlights and soft shadows. This design is further enhanced by the inclusion of a 1-stop inner diffusion panel with a 2-stop center deflector dot, meticulously crafted to eliminate hot spots and ensure a smooth, even light distribution.
For added versatility, the softbox comes with a 1-stop outer diffusion panel, which can be used independently or in conjunction with the inner panel to fine-tune the softness and specularity of the light. The outer panel features a Velcro perimeter for swift and secure attachment, while the inner panel is designed with elastic snaps for a snug fit within the Zeppelin's structure.
Photographers can adjust the specularity and focus of the light through three distinct mounting options:
1. Rear Mounting - Utilize the available Zeppelin Speedring and Bracket for a direct light projection that creates potent light output and captivating circular catchlights. The inner diffusion panel works to prevent any hotspots, ensuring a consistent light quality.
2. Internal Mounting - By incorporating the optional Zeppelin Deflector Plate, you can position your light source inside the softbox via the zippered entry point. This method reflects light toward the rear before it envelops your subject, resulting in a specular and evenly diffused effect.
3. Zeppelin Arm Mounting - Pair the optional Zeppelin Mounting Arm with the Zeppelin Deflector Plate for a focusable and centered light placement. This advanced mounting technique allows for a range of light output styles, from highly focused to broadly diffused.
The softbox's extra-long zippered entry point offers additional mounting flexibility, accommodating various lighting setups and preferences.
Transportation and storage are made effortless with the inclusion of a durable travel case, complete with a handle strap for convenience. Whether you're moving between studio setups or traveling to remote locations, the Westcott 59" Zeppelin Para Softbox is designed to be a reliable and adaptable companion for your lighting needs.
