Giant umbrellas like the Para 330 FF ( 3.3 meters dia )
meet a trend in fashion, people and beauty photography,
but are also successfully used for large area still life photography.

The Para can be used on location as well as in the studio.

Because of the possibility to move the lamp head within the umbrella, many different light effects result.

The lamp support is used for focusing the light source, by moving the lamp head within the optical axis

The Para produces the most amazing eye highlights

Product description
Parabolic umbrella with 24 braces, diameter 330 cm with a very shiny silver coating on the inside and a very precise front focusing device
Optimised for operation with BAKERY Pulso G lamp heads with either 5600K or Sunlite flashbulbs
The design of the Para 330 FF results in a very high light efficiency
It allows the choice of directed light with very high contrast adjustable to an extremely soft light
The Para maintains a constant brilliance, shrouding the object like a cloud of light, bringing out textures wonderfully
Due to the calculated parabolic form of the umbrella, the falling-off of the light is only low towards the edge


Special features
The focusing device of the Para makes it possible to use different light angles. A further speciality is an asymmetrical adjustment possibility, which permits the lamphead to swivel within the umbrella in a particular radius away from the optical axis or directly forwards. This enables the photographer to work with a different light characteristic.
