The head is mounted backwards towards the diffuser and away from the target providing a reflected beam instead of a directed beam like most “parabolic” modifiers on the market do. It uses 24 metal braces creating the parabolic shape with a push/pull mechanism, adaptors for Bowens, Godox, Broncolor, and Profoto heads, two layers of diffusion, and a grid (these last two are sold separately). Godox seems to go out of its way to create a true professional parabolic modifier with the new system. The Godox Parabolic Light Focusing System The Godox Parabolic 88 (notice the orange parabolic line) True parabolic modifiers need to come in the correct shape to really reflect the light correctly and come with a center focusing rod and light that typically faces back into the modifier and not at the subject for proper focusing.Īs it happens, to create a system like this that works well and produces pleasing results is not simple and typically also not exactly affordable (although in recent years some less expensive options from Parabolix and StorbePro claim to supply a similar solution). In the past we have looked at several “parabolic” light modifiers including the Pergear Loafas 35” and the huge Angler 60″ Deep Softbox, these are not real parabolic modifiers.Įarlier this year we published an in-depth article looking at the topic of parabolic modifiers which included an interesting video by professional photographer Karl Tylor on the benefits of true parabolic modifiers. True focusing parabolic modifiers are fairly rare and usually very expensive and Godox is looking to offer a more affordable option that can work with a range of light systems. Earlier today Godox introduced four sizes of parabolic Light focusing modifiers with different mounting options.
