Replacement/Spare 1200Ws Flash Tube for CITI600 1200Ws Remote Flash Head

What I've been waiting for!

I've been waiting for an affordable genuine deep parabolic modifier for years and PixaPro have finally delivered!

Firstly, I was expecting a nightmare putting this together, but the rods stay in the adapter ring and just require folding into place, very similar to the Elinchrom setup on some of theirs. It's stiff, but that is to be expected from a deep soft box, but I can get it up in a matter of 2-3 minutes including removing it from the bag! Getting it down again takes no more than about 30 seconds. Perfect for on-location work. I'd recommend a heavy duty lightstand though.

The fabric doesn't feel overly strong, but doesn't feel like it will be falling apart any time soon either, and if I was that concerned I would have bought something else. I'm not using this every day so spending several times more for a similar product is silly.

I ADORE the light this modifier produces and that's one of the reasons I've wanted one. It's a combination of hard and soft light rolled into one. The large diameter gives a big soft light. The deep profile focusses that light and it drops quite quickly, but beautifully across the subject. Eventually I'd love to buy the central pole adapter so there is more control over the focus, but it still works great without.

I'm using it with the PixaPro PowerCore 600 and it has more than enough power to drive even this large softbox, shooting at f/8 I can even reduce the power of the PowerCore to 1/16th, and that's with the inner diffuser in place.
