Zoom focus system for deep reflective octaboxes

Jinbei Zoom-Focus-System for Deep Reflective Softboxes & Deep Focus Umbrella

That Jinbei Zoom-Focus-System for Deep Reflective Softboxes & Deep Focus Umbrella enables you to use the softbox or the umbrella much more flexibly than before. With the help of Focus rod move your Light source in the light shaper continuously up to 40 cm . The light cone reflected in the softbox / umbrella is thus reflected at different angles and thus illuminates your motif with even, focused light, which tends to produce harder shadows. However, the hardness can be varied by moving the light source.

A great advantage of this construction is that the light does not show the point light source as in a normal softbox structure, but is reflected completely evenly. This works particularly well with parabolic deep softboxes that have a greater depth with the same diameter than standard softboxes.

The hardness of the light, that means the hardness of the shadows on your subject, can be varied by moving the Light source . Slide your flash further into the Softbox into it, the angle of radiation of the reflected light is overall more focused and narrower and thus the shadows are harder. If you push the flash further out of the softbox, the beam angle of the light increases and the shadows are softer.

Note: The illustrated light shapers, flashes and tripods are not included in the scope of delivery.

the Focus rod you can simply tighten securely using a screw cap. At one end of the rod is the Bowen's flash head speed ring , to which the light source, e.g. a studio flash or an LED permanent light, is easily attached via the Bowens S-type bayonet. The sliding bracket of the focusing rod has a reflective one Softbox adapter , to which the softbox or umbrella is attached and thus the illuminated, reflective inner surface of the Light shapers completed. The holder of the focusing rod also has a tilt function, with which you can point the softbox / umbrella further up or down as you wish.

At the other end of the Focus rod there is a hook to the included Sand counterweight to hang on. This prevents your Light shaper together with the light source gets out of balance if you use the Light source slide it out of the softbox / umbrella.

The scale shown on the focus rod will help you reproduce the light settings without deviations.

The zoom-focus system has a Spigot adapter to attach it to all common light stands.

Hints:
Make sure that the structure is stable and use a stable light stand, preferably one with castors, if you want to move the light source. The construction is more unstable than a construction in which the light source sits on the light stand and the light shaper sits directly on the light source, since the light source floats freely here.
Only insert the light source into the zoom-focus system when you are actually using it, otherwise the weight of the flash head holder could permanently deform.
This structure is best suited for large rooms, as otherwise annoying reflections can arise on walls.
