Parabolix Focusing System
True Parabolic Lighting - Designed with Precision for Flash and Continuous Lights.
The Power of Reflected Light.
Our parabolic focusing system produces an amazingly smooth and even light, rich with detail and dimensionality, that gives you the quality necessary for highend photography and videography. Because we use an indirect focusable approach, each reflector is an adjustable beauty light that offers range of light qualities from hard/focused to soft/flooded, providing you with even coverage and beautiful detail that conventional modifiers like softboxes, octaboxes and domes simply do not achieve.

Understanding the science of lighting and optics is key to making precision light-shaping tools, and this is where Parabolix excels. Our designers are masters of optical engineering, and quality of light is our top priority. All our reflectors are designed using CAD design software to ensure precision, giving the user physically-accurate, high-end light quality. Smaller reflectors are designed for harder light with more punch, and larger reflectors give softer shadows with wider coverage, while still maintaining detail and contrast. Whatever the size, our reflectors are designed to maximize detail and bring out the dimensionality and beauty of the subject.
Reflector Setup & Breakdown
Looking for a Travel Case?
All our reflectors come with a soft-shell carry bag, but if you need to travel, we recommend getting a serious hard-shell flight case. Below are some suggestions:
Pelican 1740 Transport Case with Foam - 41.0" x 12.9" x 12.5" / 104.1 x 32.8 x 31.8 cm interior dimensions.
-large enough to fit 2 entire Parabolix lighting packages, up to 45" size.
-Parabolix 55" and 65" reflectors require longer cases.
SKB Large ATA Stand Case with Wheels - 48" x 16-1/4" x 13" interior dimensions
-with this case you can fit 2 entire Parabolix lighting packages, up to 55" size, with some extra room for additional gear.
-we recommend padding the inside with additional foam protection.
-our 65" reflector requires a case at least 50" inner length.
Pelican 1770 Protector Long Case - 54.6 x 15.6 x 8.6" / 138.6 x 39.6 x 21.9 cm interior dimensions
-large enough to fit 1 entire Parabolix 65" lighting package, with some extra room for additional gear.
Lightware Inc - Flip Lid 62 - 62" x 8" x 7.5" / 155cm x 20cm x 18.75cm interior dimensions
-not a hardshell case, but looks robust enough for travel
