True Parabola

Its special focusing pole ensures that your light is mounted perfectly centres within the parabola of the reflector, ensuring the light is
How It Works
The light from your strobe first travels to the back of the reflector, where the light is reflected outwards to it your subject. The position of your light in the modifier will determine how the light is reflected, thus enabling you to produce different light qualities from a single modifier.
Inner Position: When the light is in its most inward position, the light rays are bounced around the reflector, to form a narrow, focused beam, with a high amount of contrast.
Most Focused Position: At its most focused, the light reflected out of the Parabolic Reflector collimates, to produce parallel light beams. This gives you the most output efficiency, whilst maintaining creamy smooth light fall off.
Outer Position: When the light source is positioned further out of the modifier, the reflected light rays become more diffused, and spread over a wider area. This produces soft, glowing lighting with less contrast.
24-Facet Design
The PIXAPRO Parabolic88 Parabolic Reflectors feature a 24-facet design, making this modifier extremely close to a perfectly circular light source. Each of the 24-Facets features a highly reflective interior
Low Profile Adapter Ring
The Adapter Ring that ships with the Parabolic Reflector have an extremely low profile, designed to block as little light as possible, helping it to achieve maximum light efficiency.
