Broncolor Para 177 Kit without Adapter

A Para never ceases to impress!

There is no other light that gives bodies, faces and products that much volume and plasticity. No other light is so soft and yet allows skin to glow so wonderfully natural. The Broncolor Para’s are the most flexible lighting system ever! Whether as a powerful spot, a soft cloud of light, fitted with diffusers or honeycomb grids or used with flash or continuous light - you get exactly the light you want. Always. Everywhere.

It is not just the form and size of Paras that impresses, but above all their unique light quality and phenomenal light output. Paras are parabolic reflectors; they have 24 segments, covered with a high-gloss, tear-resistant textile reflector material.

Para 177 Key Features

Compact and easy to set up
The Para 177 can be easily, and without great effort, set up by means of a crank handle mechanism. The rods are also provided with joints that allow the Paras to collapse and shorten to half the usual length for transporting.

What else 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 Paras. 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 Paras, 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.
