The FotodioX DLX Parabolic Softbox 56" Balcar Speed Ringfrom FotodioX DLX Parabolic Softbox 56" Balcar Speed Ringis a hybrid softbox that allows the use of a Balcar-type mounted LED or strobe monolight on the front side of the umbrella. The light-mountable center focusing rod helps to create the exact look desired by moving the light in and out of the parabolic dome. The rod mechanism makes it possible to adjust the zoom and see in real time, bit by bit, how the light quality transforms from soft to hard, broad to focused, and everything in between. The 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 the look need to get the shot as envisioned.

The reflective silver interior provides a moderate contrast and a neutral color rendition that reflect more natural-looking catchlights in the eyes of a subject. The umbrella also has a black backing to minimize light loss and light spill while maximizing output. The DLX includes a front diffuser and inner baffle for adding diffusion to create a softer look, plus a fabric eggcrate grid to provide a more directional output and to emphasize the subject. This parabolic softbox also features a Bowens style rear mount that allows it to be used as a conventional forward-facing softbox.

Built with high-quality materials and fabrics, DLX Parabolic Focusing Softbox is designed for heavy-duty use with long studio hours in mind. It features a quick collapsible structure with heavy duty rod support. Setup takes only seconds; just hold the speed ring and pull the rods up to pop them in place to lock them. Tear 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 speed ring and the softbox collapses with ease. The diffusion panels can even be left in place during tear down and storage, so the softbox is always ready to use.

Q: 10. What kind of stand should I get in order to use this?

A: The FotodioX EZ-Pro Deep Parabolic Softbox (48", Bowens Speed Ring) B&H # FOEZPDSBI48, is designed to connect to the Bowens speedring connection on your light fixture, not directly to a light stand. The only stand requirement is that it should have a higher maximum load capacity than the combined weight of your light fixture and the softbox. Estimating the weight of most monolights are approximately 6-7 lbs, and the weight of the softbox is approximately 3 lbs, you should use a stand that supports 10 lbs or more. If you are looking for recommendations, I would recommend the Kupo Baby Roller Stand (8.8'), B&H # KUKS300712, the Impact Folding Wheeled Base Stand (Black/Chrome-plated, 8.5'), B&H # IMLSPSFB8, the Impact Turtle Base C-Stand - 10.75' (Chrome), B&H # IMLSCT40M, the Manfrotto Alu Air-Cushioned Compact Stand (Black, 7.7'), B&H # MA1052BAC, or the Impact Heavy-Duty Air-Cushioned Light Stand (Black, 9.5'), B&H # IMLS96HABI, depending on your budget and/or the type of stand you are interested in purchasing.
