The FotodioX DLX Parabolic Softbox 48" Profoto Speed Ringfrom FotodioX DLX Parabolic Softbox 48" Profoto Speed Ringis a hybrid softbox that allows the use of a Profoto-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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this work with the Aputure C120d? Both are Bowens mounts but this is much cheaper than the Aputure Light Dome.

A: Yes it will. It is a little harder to deploy, but totally functional.

Q: 2. I've bough two Fotodiox soft-boxes with Elinchrom speed rings. Is it possible to separately buy additional speed rings for other brands of strobes?

A: Unfortunately, this series of softboxes has a fixed ring which cannot be swapped out for another.

Q: 3. Will this work with phottix indra?

A: Yes. Please review the following item in order to mount to the system. FotodioX EZ-Pro Softbox Speed Ring Insert for for Bowens Gemini Standard, Classica Powerpack, R Series, Rx Series, and Pro-Series Flash Heads BH #FOINSTONLYBW • MFR #INSERT-ONLY-BOWENS https://bhpho.to/3HwUIGr

Q: 4. 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.

Q: 5. Is this compatible with the Godox AD600pro?

A: Yes, this comes with a Bowens speed ring.

Q: 6. Does it come with light bulbs? If so what kind?

A: This is not a light, this is an attachment that goes on a light to soften and diffuse the light.

Q: 7. can I use this on Profoto B10 and B1 plus. do I need any extra to connect to B10?

A: Yes, nothing else is needed.

Q: 8. What is the depth?

A: The depth of the FotodioX EZ-Pro Deep Parabolic Softbox (48", Bowens Speed Ring) is listed as 27.5 inches (70 cm).

Q: 9. Would this work with interfit S1 units?

A: Yes this will work with a Interfit S1.

Q: 10. I have Norman ML600 lights, will this attach if I buy the Norman 900 speed ring version?

[18] This is the softbox you need in your life, easy to set, durable materials, and a price you cant beat. I bought the 36inch for my alienbees, it truly makes your job so much easier; very easy to set up and and takes no time or effort. 5

[18] I own four of these. They work great. I have two that live in my trailer and I use on location and two I use in the studio. Nice soft light without breaking the bank. The color is good and they are light enough not to bust your stands. 5

[Silver] I love this. It produces nice light, easy to set up, and sturdy. 5

[Silver] I bought this soft box on a recommendation from a B&H rep, and I am definitely not disappointed. It was easy to set up, and it delivers really nice light! Highly recommend!!! 5

Fannas	27/07/2024
[18] Amazing soft light. These soft boxes come with their own carry case and are easy to setup and store in my opinion. Build quality seems very good just keep in mind that these are masssive soft boxes so carring and moving can be a hassle 5

Rohan	27/07/2024
[18] Absolutely user friendly and great product. Beautiful soft light and gives 360 ambience. 5

Andres	25/07/2024
[18] This Softbox by Fotodiox is a wonderful product. �Unlike the Octagon version of this modifier, the softbox version does not require extreme force to open making this very pleasant to work with. � Definitely going to purchase a second. �My only negative with this box is that it is a bit smaller than the advertised size. 5

[Silver] Plain and simple softbox with amazing results. There is not much to this, sturdy build, opens and collapses just like an umbrella, option for single or double diffusion, even and soft results, and the price is very attractive. Downside is the build. Although sturdy, my Westcott Octo is noticeably stronger. That said, the Westcott costs 3 times as much. Moreover, I havent had any issues with the build quality or any subsequent damage, it is still strong and in one peace. In my opinion, you cant go wrong with this purchase, it is a solid softbox. As I do require something with more coverage, I am purchasing a 60 Octo version of this. Im loving this softbox, especially the bang for the buck! 5

[18] I was looking for a softbox that would interface with my Alien Bees. This softbox was easy to setup and is working as advertised! 5
