Nanlite Para 120 Quick-Open Softbox with Bowens Mount (47″)

Nanlite Para 120 Overview

Ideal for portraits or fashion, the 47″ Para 120 Quick-Open Softbox with Bowens Mount from Nanlite is a 16-sided light shaper offering a soft, focused output with a punchy, crisp edge to lend dimension and detail to your subject as well as natural-looking catchlights in their eyes. The unique 29″ depth of the modifier renders significant falloff at the field edge and therefore an enhanced degree of directional control, decreased spill light, and easy feathering. The Parabolic Softbox comes with 1- and 2-stop front diffusers that can be used together, one at a time, or not at all to achieve different levels of contrast. A Bowens Type-S speed ring is included and a carrying bag is also included for storage and transport.

Control and Shape Light

The Para 120’s reflective silver interior maximizes light output while the removable front diffuser softens it and reduces contrast. Also, the parabolic shape creates even lighting with a wraparound quality and natural-looking catchlights. Its 29″ depth produces a focused light with increased directional control, minimal spill light, and significant falloff.

Multiple Diffusion Options

Nanlite provides both 1- and 2-stop front diffusers to enable even more adjustment of light quality. Also, using neither diffuser turns the Para 120 into a large reflector outputting high-contrast light.

Bowens-Style Speed Ring

Created to be compatible with Nanlite’s Forza Series LEDs, the Para 120 includes a Bowens-Style Speed Ring. This near-universal light modifier mount expands compatibility to an extensive range of LED, strobe, and constant light sources.

Fast Setup and Break Down

Nanlite Forza LEDs are ready at a moment’s notice, so their softbox should be too. This softbox utilizes a quick-open speed ring with spring-loaded rod locks. Quickly snap the rods into place to set up the softbox and then release them at the touch of a button for break down.

Accepts Optional Fabric Grids

For additional control of light spill and added directionality, an optional fabric grid can be mounted via touch-fasteners. The fabric grid narrows the beam angle to 60 degrees and concentrates the light’s beam forward. Fabric grid sold separately.
