Rotolight R55 Parabolic Rotolight 55cm Summary
Made from a highly durable, highly reflective material, the Rotolight R55 Parabolic Softbox is ideal for your key light for portraiture, wedding, commercial, fashion and video applications. Following on from the R90 and R120, this state of the art 16-sided light-shaper is ideal in both location and studio-based settings and offers stunning, soft light output with a crisp edge that lends dimension and focussed detail to the subject whilst producing natural-looking catchlights. The R55 is compact, portable, and more suitable for using outside on location compared to its larger predecessors.
The R55 comes with removable 1-stop outer and 0.5 inner baffle diffusion panels, which can be combined to create a 1.5-stop diffusion level; used individually, or not at all to achieve a variety of contrast levels. The diffuser panels are made from state-of-the-art advanced diffuser materials to offer maximum pass through with minimal light loss. In addition, a high-quality, 40-degree fabric Honeycomb Grid is included for directional soft light.
The Rotolight R55’s innovative quick-release system allows users to set up the softbox in a matter of seconds, saving time on a shoot. When combined with Rotolight’s new Bowens/Elinchrom adaptor users can mount any model of Rotolight AEOS or NEO, or alternatively any LED light featuring a 1.4” 20 thread. Additionally, as a native Bowens Mount modifier, the R55 is ideal for a range of studio flash and speedlights utilising Bowens mount, opening up creative opportunities for photographers and filmmakers and making this new modifier a go-to choice, regardless of the user’s choice of lighting brand.
