The FotodioX DLX Parabolic Softbox 72" Profoto Speed Ringfrom FotodioX DLX Parabolic Softbox 72" 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.

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.

[Silver] Do the job well, as expected. 5

[Silver] The headline says it all. If you're looking for a basic softbox this will definitely do the job. Great buy for the price. 5

[18] This thing is a snap to assemble. Once you attach the diffusers via velcro, you leave them attached. This makes setting up super fast. Just take the softbox out of the case, unfasten the velcro of the outer diffuser just enough to get your arm inside, to reach the locking mechanism. Then put the metal end on the ground or top of your foot and push down to lock it open it like a umbrella. The lock easily snaps into place. When you’re done shooting, do the same thing but press the button on the mechanism while pushing down on it to take the pressure off and release it. Stick it back in the case and you’re off to your next shoot. You need to periodically check the screw on the Bowens mount to keep it tight. But that’s just common sense. People complaining about the ring coming apart just aren’t paying proper attention. The material is nice and the construction is great. Especially at this price. 5

[Silver] Amazing value for money. Works nicely with my AlienBee strobe and produces a beautiful soft light, ideal for single person portraits. Setup is not too difficult as is the teardown. 5

[Black] I was a little hesitant about this softbox because of the really low price. But, I can say that it is a very quality....very easy to put together.....and works perfectly ! I highly recommend. 5

[Black] 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

[Black] 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

[Silver] This review is of the FotodioX EZ-Pro Deep Parabolic Softbox (48, Bowens Speed Ring). It provides a very pleasing soft light at 4 to 6 feet from the subject. Removing the outer diffusion easily allows for an increase in contrast. The build quality is good. Careful hand placement to avoid contacting the release button while pushing down with significant force is required to open and lock it in place. Small individuals may struggle at first to open it, but if you practice opening it a few times, paying attention to your hand placement, I believe most will prefer this to forcing 16 individual rods into a speedring. 5

[Silver] This thing is a monster, and it gets the job done. Glad i got this thing. Just used it on a gym shoot today. Perfect 5

[Silver] This feels well made and setup and removal are dead simple - works just like an umbrella. It gives a nicely controlled light, soft but with focus and contrast. The double diffusion allows for different qualities of light (I like using just the inner one, nice and crisp). 5
