This Quick-Open Bowens Mount Parabolic Softbox Kit from Sirui pairs a versatile 23.6″ parabolic softbox with a robust, 9.2′ heavy-duty light stand so you can create a portrait lighting modifier setup that is ready to go right out of the box.

The 16-sided parabolic softbox reflects light internally to produce soft, natural-looking illumination that spreads from edge to edge. The nearly-round shape produces flattering circular catchlights in your subject’s eyes. It is made with lightweight fabric and can be quickly opened or folded to minimize setup time during a shoot. It has a highly specular silver interior, with a removable inner baffle and front diffuser to create different levels of diffusion. The included fabric grid controls the direction of the light to minimize spill, while providing a soft light and eye-pleasing shadows.

The 9.2′ heavy-duty light stand is sturdy and reliable, with an internal buffer spring to protect the light from dropping suddenly. Made of stainless steel and aluminum alloy, it has large, ergonomic locking knobs. The 5/8″ mounting stud features a 1/4″-20 threaded male tip.
