p.6 #1 · Parabolic umbrella face-off: Broncolor / Godox / Parabolix/ Glow comparison!


Hello.
First thanks for watching!
Yes the Selens still looks as good as new.
I am very happy with the performance and quality at this point in time

Hello Luis! I watched all your youtube comparisons on YT, thanks for taking the time to make them!
I owned a Parabolix 45 for about 10 years and I was wondering how the selens is working so far? Any quality issues?
Thanks in advance!

A couple of images from earlier today with the Para 222.
I plan to get the universal adapter so I can fit smaller & cheaper lights such as Godox AD400 or 600 instead of my old Bron heads.

Not sure how the universal one works but in my case I just swapped the cage with one that can easily be set with a Bowens cage when I had one for a while

The Universal version is great overall, though it is not without limitations. Its most notable advantage is flexibility: it allows the use of any light that can be mounted on a baby pin. It also enables broader light spread, as the cage projects light more forward. However, due to the construction, achieving a true spot configuration may be difficult, since the L-shaped bracket prevents the light from being pushed further in. Depending on the mounting position, the bare bulb may also sit too far out. It can also be somewhat fiddly, as careful alignment is required to ensure the bulb sits precisely on axis.
