For the price, this can’t be beat. It works well, the Bowens mount does the job, the diffuser fits perfectly, and it’s size is a great balance of portability and softness. The only thing I don’t like is the metal reflector inside it is poorly engineered and needs tape to stop it from slipping around.

They say the eyes have it and, although I usually don’t listen to them, in this case I believe they are actually correct. I pay a great deal of attention to the eyes of my subjects when I am photographing portraits because they..
With its expansive 27-inch diameter, the Jinbei QZ-70 Radar Reflector Beauty Dish stands as a pinnacle of professional studio lighting, offering photographers a durable and high-quality solution for achieving that coveted soft, yet focused illumination. Crafted for excellence, this beauty dish is designed to produce a wide, gentle light spread that is perfect for beauty, fashion, portrait, and wedding photography.
The robust construction of the QZ-70 Radar Reflector Beauty Dish reflects Jinbei's commitment to professional-grade equipment. The silver metal interior is engineered to enhance the light's intensity at the center while gradually softening it towards the edges, creating a natural and flattering fall-off. This design ensures that the subject is illuminated with a light that is both effective and aesthetically pleasing, with the signature round catchlights that are a hallmark of beauty dish lighting.
Versatility is at the heart of the QZ-70's design, featuring a Bowens S-type bayonet that allows for seamless compatibility with a wide range of studio flash units, battery studio flashes, and continuous lights that support the Bowens mount. This makes it an adaptable tool for various lighting setups and a valuable addition to any photographer's arsenal.
The QZ-70 Radar Reflector Beauty Dish also boasts a unique light-shaping capability, thanks to its specialized construction. The initial burst of light from the flash unit is intercepted by a central deflector - a flat metal disc that redirects the light towards the dish's interior surface. This process results in a light that is both broad and diffused, with a more intense, crisper quality in the center that gracefully softens at the periphery, offering a balance of contrast and softness that is ideal for sculpting facial features.
For photographers seeking even more control over their lighting, the QZ-70 comes with an additional honeycomb grid attachment. This accessory further refines the light's directionality, minimizing stray light and intensifying the focus on the subject while deepening the shadows in the outer areas. The honeycomb grid is an invaluable tool for creating dramatic and directional lighting effects that can elevate any composition.
In summary, the Jinbei QZ-70 Radar Reflector Beauty Dish is an effective, versatile, and professional-grade lighting modifier that promises to deliver both durability and high-quality performance, making it a superior choice for photographers dedicated to capturing the essence of their subjects with precision and grace.
