Fascinating insight, Karl. The rental cost for a day is quite reasonable too. Not that expensive for the day when you consider just how versatile and effective this modifier is.

@VisualEducationStudio 3 месяца назад

Thank you for your comment. Yes - they're certainly a bespoke lighting modifier but renting is a great option for those specific shoots. We're trying to cover everything photographers might see in a studio environment. Final video next week on the 120 X 180 Softbox :)

I really appreciate your detailed explanation and demonstration of how a parabola modifier works. I was amazed on the crispness of the clothing while still keeping the skin of the model soft. I hope to on day use a Para 222 modifier and possibly own one. Thank you for taking the time to create and share these videos.

Hi Karl from Canada. Thank you for yet another fabulous educational video. Very much appreciated. I’m setting up a Para from an other brand similar to the 133. Did I not see some custom made grip on an other video where you had two modifiers on T bar made of square tubing? I woild love to see more on that and other advanced grip solutions. Cheers

@VisualEducationStudio 3 месяца назад

Hi yes we have another video here on our channel on custom made studio stuff which includes that grip

@rickjbradbury 3 месяца назад

Thank you for the info on the Para Karl. I have always been curious about these modifiers, such a unique light quality. Would like to rent and run one of the smaller Para's at some point if only to experience the light provided.

@VisualEducationStudio 3 месяца назад

Hi if you do try the Para 133 for upper body portraits.

@mhs6305 3 месяца назад

Thank you for sharing. With such a big modifier, will it kill a lot of shadows?

@VisualEducationStudio 3 месяца назад

When using it from the front directly behind the photographer then the shadows on the model are on sides of the face and in the texture of fabric. When using it from the side then it's shadows are on the opposite side like any other light but the lighting itself looks distinctly different. The light is not like one big light it is like 24 small lights placed in a large circle.

Hadn't I watched a video in which you explained that the depth of parabolic modifiers was just for marketing consideration and that the depth didn't make a big difference with shallower ones ? The reflection of this huge modifier fills and hides the pupil of the eye. Isn't that a problem?

@VisualEducationStudio 3 месяца назад

Hi, no that video was about something called 'Parabolic softboxes' which are a nonsense because they claim to use parabolic science to then put that light through heavy diffusion material which completely cancels out all parabolic collimating effects so is pointless. In that video I demonstrated that.

@Skipsul 3 месяца назад

That's the sort of gear that begs you to go out and figure out how to use it. The possibilities of it are mind boggling.

@VisualEducationStudio 3 месяца назад

absolutely

@AndrejsZavadskis 3 месяца назад

what is real price for Para ?

@VisualEducationStudio 3 месяца назад

about $8,000USD but prices may vary from site to site. Renting them is a more affordable option if needed for a shoot

@FernandoSLima 3 месяца назад

I can afford a 190cm umbrella ... (kidding) Maybe two.

@davidnoels2586 3 месяца назад

it’s not a Broncolor invention… it’s from the visual genius of Briese Studio Lighting…

@macbaar6073 3 месяца назад

No its from Hollywood... Star Wars Big Ball with laser pointers...🤪🤣😂

@nicolaiecostel 3 месяца назад

Karl, i like to see shoots, projects, not product placement

@VisualEducationStudio 3 месяца назад

Hi, If you look carefully at what we're doing here on youtube you will see that this video is part of our playlist on lighting modifiers (19 videos so far) and in each of those videos we're showing the equipment that we use in each video we're pointing out what the alternatives are and how they compare in price. For the the Para 222 that we use (and we felt it better to talk about them than not) the only alternative is from Briese and I think it's more expensive. Should that stop us talking about them, or is it better for the youtube audience to know what we use and point out the cost of rental too for those that might need to use one? If you only want to see shoots rather than information about equipment then you should head over to our website which is where you will find all of our best shoot demonstrations, classes and live workshops.

@VisualEducationStudio 3 месяца назад

Or rental

@@VisualEducationStudio yeah that makes it okay. Lol it is an umbrella.

@fostervf16 3 месяца назад

Almost $8,000! Oh heck no. This is one video that may make me stop watching your videos. Showing something this ridiculous that almost 99.9% of regular people would never use is not a good thing. This seems to be an elitist video. Of which I am not.

@VisualEducationStudio 3 месяца назад

Thank you for your comment. This is an informational video with another 18 informational videos in this series of studio lighting modifiers of all costs (all listed in the description above).

@zucchina24 3 месяца назад

Buy the previous model (Para 220 FB) used! You can get it in good condition for around 2000 CHF… (1CHF = 0.90 USD) Keep in mind that the Para 220 FB is optimised for the ring flash…. but it can be used with a Pulso or Unilite… the light will be slightly off-center. The Para 222 has the advantage for be easily adapted to any light…not only from Broncolor

@JeahnLaffitte 3 месяца назад

LOL … anyone doing fashion will rent this on the regular. It’s not elitist at all. It’s a tool and a very powerful tool that costs a lot to build. It’s not uncommon for normal folks like you and me to use it for its intended purpose.

@victorcandia 3 месяца назад

Are you ok? 😂

@VisualEducationStudio 3 месяца назад

Also just to add, I just checked I can rent a Para 222 for a day from the Procentre in London for £78. So this information is still very valid for photographers who need to know how or why to use this equipment.
