Godox P128 Parabolic Reflector Softbox Kit 120cm

The Godox P128 Parabolic Reflector Light-Focusing Photography Kit is expertly crafted to meet the needs of professional photographers. With its 24-facet, True Parabolic design, this versatile reflector elevates your lighting capabilities, allowing for a range of looks from a single modifier. Thanks to the intuitive focusing pole system, you can achieve both hard and soft lighting depending on the placement of your light within the reflector. This modifier is ideal for commercial, portrait, fashion, beauty, fine art, and advertising photography. The Godox P128 stands out as a top-tier lighting solution.

Let’s explore the science that powers this exceptional lighting tool. The parabolic shape is defined mathematically: every point on the curve maintains an equal distance from a focal point and a directrix. When applied to lighting, this geometry allows the reflector to channel light in distinct ways, depending on the positioning of the light source along the focal axis.

Here’s how it works:

• Focused Beam: When the light is positioned inward, scattered rays converge to form a sharp, concentrated beam with high contrast.
• Parallel Rays: At the focal point, light is collimated, producing parallel rays that balance intensity and smoothness.
• Soft Diffusion: Moving the light further out creates softer, more diffused lighting as rays spread outward, reducing contrast.

This adaptability makes the system ideal for a variety of creative applications, offering unmatched control over light quality.

24 braces means a large number of reflected panels that makes the modifier as close as a circular source, thus a more efficient weapon to put your power to good use. Even coverage of quality light with elegant tonal balance that every professional photographer ever dreams of is now within your reach.

The adapter ring that connects light head is designed with small diameter, so to not block any light output for more efficient illumination. Besides the compatibility with Godox, Bowens and Profoto mount strobes, it also adapts Godox ring lights with optional accessories. And more to be expected with Godox future lights!

True Parabola Design: This reflector features a true parabolic shape, which enables precise light focusing from your strobe. The unique design allows for multiple lighting effects with one tool. A special focusing pole ensures your light is positioned correctly within the parabola, maximizing its performance.

How It Functions: Light from your strobe is directed to the back of the parabolic reflector, where it reflects outward to your subject. Adjusting the light's position within the modifier changes how the light is reflected, offering different lighting effects from a single tool.

Inner Position: When the light is placed closest to the reflector, the light is focused into a narrow, high-contrast beam.
Most Focused Position: At its peak focus, the light collides into parallel beams, offering maximum output efficiency and smooth light transition.
Outer Position: When positioned further out, the light is more diffused and spreads over a wider area, providing softer, gentler lighting with reduced contrast.
24-Facet Design: The 24 facets of the reflector give it a nearly circular shape, resulting in more even light distribution.

Low Profile Adapter Ring: Designed with minimal profile, this adapter helps maximize light efficiency without blocking it.

Easy Set-Up: With a simple open mechanism, the reflector is easy to deploy. Just attach the PF-M Mounting bracket and insert the central pole into the bracket for quick assembly.

Compatibility with Heavy-Duty Light Stands: This reflector mounts securely onto most heavy-duty light stands, using a 5/8-inch Baby Pin or 1-1/8-inch Junior Pin Receiver. Attach the PF-M bracket to the stand and tighten it for stability.

Flash Compatibility: The P158 is available with multiple fittings, such as Bowens S-Type, Godox, Broncolor, and Profoto. It can also be used with Godox ring flashes like the RIKO400 and CITI1200 Pro with the appropriate brackets (sold separately).

Secure Mounting: The reflector features built-in fail-safes, including an anti-rotation rod to prevent your flash head from shifting while mounted.

Portable and Convenient: The kit comes with a padded carrying bag, making transportation and storage hassle-free.

Additional Accessories: The kit includes diffusers (1x 0.5 Stop and 1x 1-Stop) to soften the light further and reduce harsh reflections. A Honeycomb Grid is also included to focus the light and create more contrast.

Steel Lighting Stand

Heavy-Duty Construction: This steel stand is built to last, supporting a maximum load of 20kg, providing a solid foundation for your lighting equipment.

Large Footprint: The stand's wide leg design ensures stability, even with heavy equipment.

Wheeled Base: Featuring smooth-rolling caster wheels for easy movement, the stand locks in place with convenient brakes.

Adjustable Height: The stand adjusts from a minimum height of 107cm to a maximum of 220cm (86"), offering flexibility for different shooting setups.

Safety Features: The stand's thick central column includes a spring-loaded dampening system, minimizing the risk of sudden drops and ensuring both equipment and safety are maintained.

The Godox P128 Parabolic Reflector Photography Kit is an essential tool for high-end photographers. Whether you're focused on commercial, fashion, portrait, or lifestyle photography, this versatile modifier will deliver professional results.
