Fotodiox DLX Parabolic Focusing Softbox with Bowens Speedring

The DLX Parabolic Focusing Softbox from Fotodiox brings a new level of control to your photography and filmmaking. As a hybrid softbox, it allows you to use a Bowens mounted light on either the front side of the umbrella (making it both a focusable reflector) or on the back side (as you would a traditional style standard softbox).

The center, light mountable, focusing rod helps you create the exact look you need. Moving the light in and out of the mechanism lets you adjust the zoom and see in real time, bit by bit, how the light quality transforms to fit your needs; from soft to hard, broad to focused, and everything in between. This light quality can be transformed even further with the included double diffusion panels and grid, which can be used in any combination to give you exactly what you need to get your shot as you envision it.

Built with high-quality materials and fabrics, DLX Parabolic Focusing Softbox is designed for heavy-duty use during long studio hours in mind. DLX softboxes feature a quick collapsible structure with heavy duty rod support. Setup takes only seconds; just hold the speedring and pull the rods up to pop them in place and done! Tearing down is a breeze too; just remove the light from the softbox and pull up slightly on the rods while pressing the quick release tabs on the speedring and the softbox collapses with ease. The diffusion panels can even be left in place during tear down and storage, so your soft box is always ready to use.

The reflective silver interior provides a moderate contrast and a neutral color rendition that reflects more natural-looking catchlights in the eyes of your subject. The umbrella also has a black backing to minimize light loss and light spill while maximizing output.
