Fotodiox Pro 18in (45cm) Beauty Dish Kit with Soft Diffuser Sock and Honeycomb Grid (50 degree) for Bowens Gemini Standard

The perfect accessory for the portrait photographer, the Fotodiox beauty dish uniquely diffuses light to provide high output with moderate feathering. Unlike a softbox or a reflector which has an "illuminating" surface, the beauty dish has a circle of light with an opaque center and an internal light shield that allows bounce-only lighting. How does the beauty dish compare to a softbox? As the beauty dish is smaller, it will result in less-soft shadows. It will also provide moderate round catch lights in the eyes, where a softbox will yield larger rectangular catch lights. The Fotodiox beauty dish uses a parabolic reflector in 80 degree angle to focus light towards a wrapped area.The Fotodiox Pro Beauty Dishes also come with a diffusion 'sock' for further controlling the sharpness of shadows. You can use the soft diffuser cover and Honeycomb grid to further change the light pattern, creating a wrapped, contrasted look, which adds a very dramatic effect. The Fotodiox 50° Honeycomb Grid (Sold Separately) contains the light to a more tubular pattern, for more of a spot light effect without light spill.Compatible Lights (including but not limited to): Bowens Gemini, Calumet Travelite, Interfit, Stellar, X, XD, Stellar Extreme, Venus, JTL,Versalight-D, versalight-E, Neewer DS,neewerGS, Savage FT-150,ft-150, Westcott Skylux, westcott Strobelite Plus, Impact brand,VC, VS, impact VSD, Photoflex,Rime Lite
