Jan 25, 2017 08:17 | #4 See that you are using on location. How do you like it? How easy to setup, teardown for location? 55" I would heavy I assume requiring a nice heavy duty stand. Definitely looking for more details. Thanks. 5dmk3, 35L, 85L II, 300mm f2.8 IS I, 400mm f5.6 LOG IN TO REPLY |
The 35" Parabolix has become my "go to" modifier for on location work. Very easy setup, and easily movable from place to place. Focused or de-focused it has performed great. The 55" is quite a bit larger, and I've only used it in the studio on heavy duty rolling/cranking stands.

I've tested it on two shoots so far. Coming from a Cheetahstand RB120 with a Chopstick, it's definitely an upgrade.

Well, thanks a LOT! I just got the RB-120 a couple hours ago, and what little excitement I had today was totally ruined by your gorgeous images. LOG IN TO REPLY |

You won't be disappointed with your results. The Parabolix is just more elegant modifier but at a higher price point and I've found a difference in the light quality. I'm really growing to like this.

I'm liking the RB120 already. The Parabolix is in the future for me at some point. Post more photos with the Parabolix, if you don't mind. LOG IN TO REPLY |
I have both the RB120 and RB150. The Parabolix still remains my "go to" modifier. I've have the luck of driving to the facility in Los Angeles and shooting on site with the founder.

I am hoping the budget gets approved and able to pick parabolix 55". 5dmk3, 35L, 85L II, 300mm f2.8 IS I, 400mm f5.6 LOG IN TO REPLY |

ethompson53 Hatchling 8 posts Joined Nov 2014 More info | Part of the Broncolor para contrast comes from the environment it's used in. For example, in a place where you can build contrast by the use of negative fill the look is easily achieved. In my space which is small, with low ceilings, it's more difficult when using modifiers of that size. I solve it by using grids. Here are a couple of images shot with the Parabolix, focused, with a grid, that keeps light from bouncing around my space providing, too much fill.
