Tax included where applicable. Delivery calculated at checkout.
ELVARNIXO Shaping — light is made at the last metre
Shaping is taste made mechanical; the Merak supplies the mechanics — lanterns that calm whole rooms, dishes that sculpt without cruelty, and a case that packs flat like it respects your boot.
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
- Frames open in seconds and forgive the two-hundredth assembly
- S-type as standard; speedrings for major systems in the options
- Kits pack flat into cases that respect car boots
- Beam pattern as stated by the manufacturer
- Lanterns wrap rooms in one soft decision

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.
Which mount does it fit?
S-type as standard, with speedrings for the major systems listed in the options. Tell us your fixtures and we confirm fitment before dispatch.
The ELVARNIXO Promise
Established systems keep their mounts and accessories compatible across generations — working photographers' equipment should hold its value the way it holds its colour.
