Broncolor Para 88 Reflector Kit with Focusing Rod F
Description
There is no other light that gives bodies, faces and products as much volume and plasticity. broncolor Para is the light system with the most variants. Whether as a powerful spot, a soft light cloud, with diffusers or honeycomb grids, for continuous lighting or flash operation - you precisely achieve the light you want. Always. Everywhere.
The magic of parabolic lighting
There are many modifiers on the market that claim to be ‘parabolic’ in shape, but very few of them actually are.
True parabolic lights produce a beautiful, sparkly light which is very flattering when it comes to skin tone and ideal for bringing out the detail in textures. The shape and reflective properties of the modifier allow for great control over the focus and contrast produced by the light — one of the main advantages of these modifiers.
Broncolor 3D effect
As the light radiates frontally from the optical axis, every object has an extremely plastic, three-dimensional appearance. It is especially this point that differentiates the Para from other large format light shapers with structured reflector material. See the effect of the true Para light with your own eyes.
Light, compact, unique
Set up in no time. For Para 88 and 133 – the mobile, small Para models – broncolor has developed a special, patented opening mechanism. Just two quick hand movements on the four clamping brackets allow the Para to be set up in seconds.
The Para 177 and 222 can be easily, and without great effort, set up by means of a crank handle mechanism. The rods are provided with joints that allow the Para to collapse and shorten to half the usual length for an easy transport.
Versatile and compatible
Thanks to the different adapters, the broncolor Para family can be used by both photographers and video makers from all areas. The Para systems are easy to operate with flash and continuous light from a variety of manufacturers. Furthermore, there is a universal adapter available which allows the majority of commercially offered lamps to be used.
As a further highlight, the Para can be used without the focusing device directly as reflectors with other broncolor lamps.
Unmatchable 3D effect
The Para system convinces with an incredible three-dimensional light, especially when used in a defocused position. Where does this extraordinary three-dimensional light characteristic come from?
The light is reflected in the 24 segments of the Para and focused depending on the position of the focusing tube. The strongest luminosity is in the centre of the motive you like to shoot. The luminosity decreases from this point in all directions; at the edge of the motive only half of the light hits the surface. Thanks to this, a white dress, for instance, against a white background can be perfectly separated.
Despite its size, a Para is not a soft light. The typical Para light has no diffusion and no contrast-reducing light close to the shooting axis as known from other larger light shapers. The unique Para product design enables the distinctive and very beautiful skin texture in portraits.
Handmade in Switzerland
Unlike mass-produced products, the broncolor Para are handmade by employees with decades of experience. A rigorous quality control process of every single component as well as the finished product guarantees the well-known broncolor quality. An original broncolor Para is a lifelong companion.
