![]() Everything is well thought out from transport, to setup, to actual use. Nikon D800 Broncolor Para 222 and Move pack at low powerĪt a superficial glance, the build quality of the Paras and Move kit are extremely high. The pack can be purchased as a kit with one head and a Para 88 for about $10,000 or separately with one head and a softbox for around $7,000. The Move pack is a 1200W/s battery powered pack with outputs for two MobiLED flash heads. Broncolor also makes a Para 133, Para 177, and the ridiculously large Para 333. The Para 88 with the focusing rod costs around $5,000, while the Para 222 goes for about $7,500. The Para 177 and larger are ideally paired with a ringlight, as opposed to a traditional head, in order to get a wide enough spread. You can also DIY other lights to the mount, but I would consult a local dealer about whether the light output from the head will work for your desired Para size. In addition to Broncolor heads, the Paras can have Profoto heads mounted to them, although some heads won’t work with the larger size Paras. This focusing system coupled with the shape and inner finish of the parabolic come together to produce the unique light output that you pay handsomely for. The focusing rod is telescopic, allowing you focus and defocus the light inside the modifier. If you’re not familiar with what a Broncolor Para looks like, you can imagine it as a deep umbrella (although it’s not) with 24 panels along with a central focusing rod to mount the strobe head on (as pictured above). My goal in trying these out isn’t to write a review per se, as this gear has been around for a while now, but more so I wanted to see how it performs on a practical level and to see if the high price tag is really justifiable.įirst off let’s talk about the kit itself a bit. ![]() Although I used the Paras while filming my fashion photography and retouching course, this was my first chance to play around and get some real-world exposure with them. With corresponding adapters, even competitive products can be used with Para 133.Thanks to the good folks at B3K Digital in Toronto, I got to spend a few days experimenting with a Broncolor Move pack, Para 88, and Para 222. All broncolor lights including Pulso G, Unilite, Siros S and L, MobiLED, LED F160 and HMI fit into your Para. One light shaper, unlimited compatibility. Para 133 is an impressive eye catcher on set - but after the shooting it folds down easily and fits in a compact transportation case. Thanks to its perfect parabolic shape and the exclusive reflector material, Para 133 makes sure, that every single joule of your light (or all your light) arrives, where you want and need it. If you need a strong spot light or an extremely even coverage: one light - Para 133 - does it for you. Para 133 offers an unbelievable variety in light characteristics. ![]() No other light shaper creates such a vivid light and works out the texture of your objects so nicely - whether you shoot beauty, portraits, fashion or products. The light quality of the broncolor Paras is legendary. Broncolor Official Flash Tubes & Protecting glasses.Broncolor Light Shapers for Small Heads.Broncolor Move Battery Pack & Move Kits. ![]()
