The PIXAPRO 60cm foldable beauty dishes allow you to take a small to full-sized white/silver beauty dish with you on location without the worrying the weight and size of traditional metal beauty dishes.
Featuring a unique inner locking ring design, the Folding Beauty Dish lets you quickly set up and pack away.
The Beauty dish creates a unique lighting pattern on the subject offering a round catch light in the eye of the subject, often used in fashion and the beauty industries to create excellent skin tones which are soft and uniform. It is a device used to create soft light it works by using a parabolic reflector to distribute light towards a focal point. The light created is between that of a direct flash and a softbox, hence giving the image of a wrapped, contrasted look, which adds a very dramatic effect.
Included with each beauty dish is a removable diffuser to create a softer quality of light, and a fine 4cm honeycomb grid to help with the light spill.

Q&A’s
What is the difference between the collapsible beauty dish and standard beauty dish?
The main differences are the procedure for setting up the beauty dish, the sizes available and honeycomb grid included.
The Collapsible Beauty Dishes is foldable and compact which makes it easy to carry around. Here is a YouTube video which may give you a better ideal on how the collapsible beauty dish works.
How To Set Up Your Pixapro Collapsible Beauty Dish
To set up the Beauty Dish, you simply have to push down each rod until they lock into place. To fold the Collapsible Beauty down you would again just need to push down on each rod and release the locking mechanism. The grid with this will also have a much larger spread compared to that of the standard version, the small the spread of the honeycomb the more direct the light becomes.
Please kindly find the following review by Ian Pack for the collapsible Beauty dish test shot.

The standard version of the beauty dish will be made of solid metal, which means that minimal setting up is required. This type of beauty dish is great if you are using it in a fixed location or studio, simply attach is to your light and you’re away. The honeycomb grid of this beauty dish gives you more of a directional light as the honeycomb is much smaller than the fabric version.

nice looking piece of kit
Was a little confusing to assemble as there are no instructions at all. Although rods are in place locking them out takes a little while to figure out.centre diffuser disc is only held by 1 post smacks of scrimping to save cost as I'm sure a 2nd would hold it more securely. Material feels of good quality. now mine is assembled I won't be taking it down again so the nice travel bag is not required.
