What else do you need to know about the Para system?
How to choose the right size?
If the distance to the object or the model remains in a constant ratio to the diameter, then the various Paras will also achieve very similar light characteristics. The large reflectors have a definite advantage when the uniqueness of the Para light quality is also desired at a greater distance away from the model.
Para 88
With less then 6 kg Para 88 is a lightweight with a super compact design. It is even more mobile – perfect for outdoor shootings and smaller studios. The patented opening mechanism provides the greatest ease-of-use combined with quick opening.
Para 133
This is the bigger version of the mobile Para. Thanks to its increased size the light becomes even softer. It also features the patented mechanism for quick and effortless opening and folding – an ideal companion for outdoor shootings.
Para 177
This is the smaller version of the large studio Para, yet it can still be used on location. It is particularly suitable for fashion photography. A crank handle mechanism ensures a comfortable set up. The rods are also provided with joints that allow this Para to collapse and shorten to half the usual length for transporting.
Para 222
Without doubt, Para 222 is huge and is a true eyecatcher in every large studio. Its massive diameter allows for a greater distance between the reflector and the model or product – fashion photography is where it shows its strengths. The photographer can even stand directly in front of the light source and vary the distance to the model without influencing the light or throwing a shadow. A crank handle mechanism ensures a comfortable set up. The rods are also provided with joints that allow this Para to collapse and shorten to half the usual length for transporting.
All Para reflectors are constructed of aluminum, carbon fiber or fiberglass materials resulting in the matching of lighter total weight and utmost durability.
