Product Information

Full details

The Godox P128 Parabolic Light Focusing System Kit is designed for professional portrait and fashion photographers who demand precise control over their light source's character and intensity. By utilizing a deep, 24-brace parabolic design, this kit allows you to transition seamlessly from soft, wrapping light to high-contrast, punchy output by simply shifting the light source position. While it offers unparalleled creative flexibility, users should note that the system has a larger physical footprint and requires a dedicated, sturdy light stand to manage its weight and size effectively in a studio environment.

FAQs

Can I use the P128 with continuous LED lights?

Yes, as long as your LED light uses a compatible mount adapter, though it is optimized for strobe heads.

Does this come with a diffusion panel?

The kit focuses on the parabolic system; please check your specific kit contents for included diffusion accessories.

What size light stand do I need?

A heavy-duty C-stand or a large-format studio stand is highly recommended due to the size and weight of the P128.

Is the P128 suitable for outdoor photography?

It can be used outdoors, but its large surface area acts like a sail in the wind. Use extreme caution and heavy sandbagging.

How do I replace a bent strut?

Contact Godox support or an authorized dealer to inquire about specific replacement parts for the 24-brace system.

Troubleshooting

Uneven light output or hot spots

Check the alignment of the light head on the focusing rod; the source should be perfectly centered along the axis.

System feels unstable on the stand

Ensure the light stand is fully extended with a wide base and use sandbags on the legs to counteract the weight of the large parabolic modifier.

Difficult to open the modifier

Ensure all 24 struts are cleared of the internal fabric and pressure is applied evenly across the hub during assembly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional beam control and focus adjustment
  • Creates beautiful, natural circular catchlights
  • High-efficiency light output due to silver interior
  • Versatile mounting system supports various strobe brands
  • Durable 24-brace design for structural integrity

Cons

  • Large physical size requires significant studio space
  • Heavier than standard softboxes
  • Setup time is longer than umbrella-style modifiers
  • Requires a heavy-duty light stand for safety

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the P128, ensure your light stand is weighted properly before mounting the system. Assemble the 24-brace framework carefully to ensure all struts are fully seated. When attaching your light, use the included focusing mount to center the strobe precisely along the focusing rod; this alignment is critical for achieving a consistent light pattern.

Compatibility is broad thanks to the strobe adapter system, but always verify your specific light head fits the mounting depth of the P128. For care, wipe down the interior reflective surface with a dry, lint-free cloth after each use to prevent dust accumulation. When not in use, store the kit in the provided carry bag in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture damage to the struts or fabric.
