Cygnus Softbox Set — Portrait
Tax included where applicable. Delivery calculated at checkout.
ELVARNIXO Shaping — light is made at the last metre
Softboxes are bought in minutes and used for decades; the Cygnus 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
- S-type as standard; speedrings for major systems in the options
- Every panel, rib and layer available as a spare part
- Grids cut to true angles, labelled honestly
- Frames open in seconds and forgive the two-hundredth assembly
- Beam pattern as stated by the manufacturer

Care
Brush textiles dry, never wash silver fabrics, and let diffusion dry before rolling. Store parabolics on the rod, ribs relaxed. Small tears are repairable — send us photographs and we will confirm which parts are available.
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?
Replacement panels, ribs and diffusion layers are available as spare parts. Modifiers should retire from fashion, not from failure.
The ELVARNIXO Promise
Every card states the manufacturer's photometric and colour data — CRI, TLCI and output figures you can plan a lighting plot around.
