A: Though not a specific recommendation, you do want meet the minimum weight capacity of the combined Para (approx 30 lbs.) plus the lamp you will be using. With Para 222 specifically, many of our users remark that wind-up or crank-driven riser is much more convenient given the weight of the combined setup as well.

When using the accessory diffusion with Para 133, there is a limitation of how far the unit can be defocused due to the physical size to be aware of.
