OVERVIEW
The Nanlite Para 90 Quick-Open Softbox with Bowens Mount (35in) is a 16-Sided Softbox with a deep parabolic design that creates even lighting with a wrap-around quality and natural-looking catchlights while increasing directional control.
Control and Shape Light
The Para 90's reflective silver interior maximizes light output while the removable front diffuser softens it and reduces contrast. Also, the parabolic shape creates even lighting with a wrap-around quality and natural-looking catchlights. Its 25" depth produces a focused light with increased directional control, minimal spill light, and significant falloff.
Multiple Diffusion Options
Nanlite provides both a 1-stop and a 2-stop front diffuser to enable even more adjustment of light quality. Also, using neither diffuser turns the Para 90 into a large reflector outputting high contrast light.
Bowens Style Speed Ring
Created to be compatible with Nanlite's Forza Series LEDs, the Para 90 includes a Bowens Style Speed Ring. This near-universal light modifier mount expands compatibility to an extensive range of LED, strobe, and constant light sources.
Fast Set Up and Break Down
Nanlite Forza LEDs are ready at a moment's notice, so their softbox should be too. This softbox utilizes a Quick-Open speed ring with spring-loaded rod locks. Quickly snap the rods into place to set up the softbox and then release them at the touch of a button for break down.
Accepts Optional Fabric Grids
For additional control of light spill and added directionality, an optional fabric grid can be mounted via touch-fasteners. The fabric grid narrows the beam angle to 60 degrees and concentrates the light's beam forward.
