Canopus Softbox Set — Product
Tax included where applicable. Delivery, rigging and commissioning arranged by your concierge.
ELVARNIXO Shaping — light is made at the last metre
Softboxes are bought in minutes and used for decades; the Canopus respects the decades — speedrings that spin under load, textiles stocked panel by panel, and cases that make vans happy.
A parabolic is a precision instrument pretending to be an umbrella: sixteen or twenty-four ribs holding a true curve, a focusing rod that glides and locks, and fabrics whose silver keeps its colour after the two-hundredth assembly. Ours are hand-finished, serialised, and repairable rib by rib.
Design & Craft
- Textiles woven and graded for neutral colour after years of vans
- Every panel, rib and layer stocked as a part for fifteen years
- Speedring spins smoothly under full fixture weight
- Even field edge to edge, measured and printed
- Grids cut to true angles, labelled honestly

Care
Open and close by the hub, not the ribs; keep speedrings matched to their fixture; and shake dust from grids rather than washing them. Fabrics keep their neutrality for years if they travel in their sleeves.
Questions, Answered
How repeatable is the focus effect on the parabolics?
The rod is indexed — note the number, repeat the look. Beam maps at three rod positions ship in the box.
Can textiles be replaced?
Every panel, rib and diffusion layer is a stocked part for fifteen years. Modifiers should retire from fashion, not from failure.
