Many various-sizedall-arounda Parabolicfull-bodyclose-upsshrink-wrap...umbrellas are available for every imaginable use.
Parabolix 20 (51CM) | Hardest reflector, good for fashion and beauty. Works only with a center mount for strobes or LED, but is too small to get the universal mount in there. |
​Parabolix 25 (64CM) | Slightly softer than the 20, very similar to a deep beauty dish |
Parabolix 30 (76CM) | ​Great for beauty and fashion, versatile light as it can be hard and punchy, or when flooded becomes soft and glowy |
Parabolix 35D (89CM) | ​35" wide and 25" Deep - it's a perfect mid-size reflector that is great for beauty. |
Parabolix 40 (102CM) | Great all around light - It gives strong specular punch for beauty shots, while providing a large and even coverage for fashion. |
​Parabolix 45 (114CM) | favorite for beauty work, portraits, or interviews. This reflector creates a large, rich beauty light that is great for closeups as well as full body shots. |
Parabolix 55 (140CM) | It provides an amazingly rich and beautiful soft light, with gorgeous contrast and detail. Designed to give wide light coverage with perfect wrap, while still being very portable and fast. |
Parabolix 65 (165CM) | Provides the greatest amount of light coverage with the widest spread. Although it is designed as a soft light, it still provides an incredible amount of punch and contrast when fully focused |
