Going Parabolic?

[Dan Cattermole]

Has anyone here ever used a parabolic studio brollie before?
Thinking of getting one.... Maybe a 5 foot one or something very similar. I have seen that they do them in 7 foot!! Massive! Lol

Love the look of them, heard that the results are much better than standard ones too.

Any opinions? Any users?

Cheers

Seen impressive results from them but have never used one myself. I have a medium sized parabolic dish but not an umbrella.

First I've heard ... Quick search brings some massive looking brollies! What's the problem you are trying to solve?

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Cheers for the reply folks.

Just wondering if anyone has used one before I purchase one.
Was hoping to get some opinions from folk on here that May have used one.
There is no problem to solve Hamish, just very interested in these type of brollies. They look portable, with a nice large diffused even light, and they look fantastic... Very 'pro' like.

Just wondering if anyone has used one

I may of answered my own questions here ,'/
I've just slapped myself and am just going to get one now. Lol

I saw that B&H recently had those 7foot Westcott brollies on sale at $50 a pop….I almost went for it but the number of times I would have space to actually put them up...

 

[Dan Cattermole]

That's not a bad price you know.
But your right about the space... You'd need a studio!

You could always use it on the patio when it wasn't in needed for photos!
