GODOX 120cm QUICK RELEASE PARABOLIC OCTA SOFTBOXINC BOWENS / S-TYPE MOUNT, GRID SOLD SEPERATELLY
Useful for portraits or fashion, this P120 Parabolic Softbox is a 16-sided light-shaper that measures 47.1". It offers focused, soft output with a punchy, crisp edge that lends dimension and detail to your subject as well as natural-looking catchlights in their eyes. The unique depth of the modifier renders significant falloff at the field edge and therefore an enhanced degree of directional control, decreased spill light, and easy feathering. The Parabolic Softbox comes with removable outer and inner diffusers that can be used together, one at a time, or not at all to achieve different levels of contrast. A carry bag is included for storage and transport.
