Broncolor Para 133 Reflector
$1,200.00 /day
The industry-standard 133cm parabolic reflector. A versatile “Sculptor’s Light” offering unique three-dimensional illumination for professional portrait photography.
A 10% damage waiver fee will be applied to your order in the rental basket unless proof of own insurance can be supplied.
The Broncolor Para 133 Reflector is arguably the most sought-after size in the Para family, offering a generous 133cm diameter that acts as the perfect bridge between the compact Para 88 and the giant Para 177/222. Known as the “Sculptor’s Light,” its 24-segment parabolic design creates a light quality characterized by incredible three-dimensional depth, crisp specular highlights, and a soft, wrapping fall-off.
The magic of the Para 133 lies in its integrated focusing system. By moving the light head forward or backward within the reflector, you can transition from a hard, high-contrast spotlight to a massive, soft-wrapping source without changing modifiers. It provides a stunning, brilliance-rich light that enhances skin textures and bone structures, making it an essential tool for high-end commercial and fashion photography.
