The CheetahStand Easy-Open Deep Parabolic 18 Rod Softbox is one of the most thoughtfully designed light modifiers. Multiple configurations means this softbox can produce anything from a hard, direct light source that accentuates your subject, to a beautifully softened source of light that envelopes your subject. These superbly efficient light modifiers utilize the impressive Easy-Open system for quick setup, convenient break down, and compact storage. Use with the beauty dish alone to create a hard source with a softer center. Use of combinations of the outer and inner diffusion material to go even farther to produce different levels of contrast, sharpness, and dimension. This kit includes the Chopstick Focusing System MKII to convert to a direct, focus-able light source.

How to Use

The Easy Open Parabolic Bowl can be setup in a variety of configurations to produce exactly the light effect that you need.
Beauty Dish Use the CheetahStand Exclusive Beauty Dish Attachment included with this package to produce a wrapped contrasty look which adds a more dramatic effect.
Parabolic Softbox Use without diffusers or grid. The 18 sided shape produces high contrast with a beautiful, round catch light.
Softbox Use the inner diffuser only (with/without Beauty Dish) to produce soft light with a crisp edge.
Softbox Use the outer diffuser only (with/without Beauty Dish) to produce soft light with more distinct contrast.
Softbox Use both inner and outer diffuser (with/without Beauty Dish) to produce very soft light.
Eggcrate Use the included professional quality Eggcrate Grid (40 degree) to shape light, control spread and produce a natural vignette.
Parabolic Reflector
 		Use the Chopstick MKII focus rod to create a parabolic reflector to control the focus of the light.

Please see this VIDEO for how to select Speedring for BirdCage

If your lights are not Bowen, and you would like to be able to attach them to the back of the softbox for direct lighting, you need to order a compatible speed ring as an add-on to your order. You can order extra speedring inserts for other lights you have. This softbox uses a speed ring insert with a 144mm flange.

If you have lights with a variety of mounting systems that you want to use inside the softbox on the end of the Chopstick, you can order additional "bird cages" to support those lights. You can order additional bird cages here: CheetahStand Bird Cages

5 of 5 QPB 48 & Chopstick March 25, 2021
Reviewer: Jim B from Tallahassee, FL United States  
Haven't shot with it yet, but I'm still going to give it 5 stars due to the build quality and ease of assembly being so much greater than the RB120, which I already own and love the light quality of. Looking forward to deploying it without screaming and crying... the rapid delivery was welcome too.
