Ideal for portrait, product, and fashion photography and more, the redesigned Angler Quick-Open Deep Parabolic 36" Softbox features integrated locking rods that quickly lift and snap into place so you're ready to shoot in a fraction of the time it takes to set up a conventional softbox. The softbox has an improved release mechanism that employs easy-to-push levers that close the softbox easily in seconds. While the 16-sided shape of the softbox imparts a wrap-around light quality, its depth gives it a somewhat sharp falloff that makes feathering and directional control easy. For further directional control, an optional fabric grid is available to narrow the beam and minimize light spill. Other handy features include a silver interior to maximize output for a dramatic and punchy light, and removeable front and inner diffusers(comma) so you can regulate the softness and contrast that's perfect for your exposure. The softbox comes with a Bowens-type speed ring. Speed ring inserts that are compatible with Profoto, Elinchrom, and Broncolor lights are available separately.
