Has someone photos of...
« on: September 26, 2016, 11:46:26 »
I'm going to try new options in lighting products.
The Profoto Probox seems very promising, but I would like to understnad how they work. What I do know is that they provide an event light from corner to corner.
So if someone has experience or, even better some photos of their interior, I appreciate if you can share them with me.
Thanks

At around $1,000.00 each (B&H) they are absolutely affordable  :o

Actually it is a Hard Box  ;D

 I use Profoto gear but not this one.....it is more intended for studio table top shooting.

It looks like ... but, I believe internally, it should be different

alas - the Profoto gear is out of my (bank manager's) reach.

Pedro - $1000 is probably cheap - if you are sufficiently padded in the financial department

I researched this not to long ago to look into building my own, not that I necessarily need a Probox, I just like making things. I did however build my own version of the Profoto Hardbox.

From what I found the Probox has a 2 piece ground glass near the flash head, then a counter reflector with graduated reflective surfaces inside, and a plexiglass/acrylic front. All of which translates to near perfect even light output from corner to corner.  I can think of other ways to get even light output across a 20 x 30 cm piece of acrylic, but it would be tricky to make something as small and convenient as this.
