2. Walimex pro Pro 5 in 1 Faltreflektor wavy comfort
The Pop-Up Folding Reflector for Atmospheric Reflections
The Walimex pro 5in1 wavy folding reflector is a versatile reflector for the discerning photographer. The gold-silver surface provides a warm, atmospheric reflection, perfect for skin tones, while the black surface can be used to darken subjects. The reflector is easy to transport, quick to set up, simple to use, and just as easy to pack away. The various surfaces offer numerous possibilities for photo creation, as well as in the video field.
Easy Handling, Quick Setup
The folding reflector is the ideal companion for quick, demanding illumination or shading of subjects. Thanks to its two large, comfortable handles, it can easily be held by an assistant. However, the 5in1 folding reflector is also equipped for mounting on tripods: with its 3/8" thread, it can be attached to lamp stands or other holding devices with the corresponding screw. Using it on location with the help of an assistant is particularly advantageous, for example in interview situations where there is no time for extensive lighting setups.
5 Functions in One
The design of the 5in1 folding reflector could hardly be more efficient: the actual reflector frame is permanently covered with a diffuser. This softens the harshness of light sources and reduces the hard shadow edges on the subject. The diffuser creates a broad, soft illumination of the subject from a point light source. A reversible cover with a zipper is included with the reflector, featuring four sides that can be used individually:
- Gold-Silver "wavy": This special coating consists of a zigzag pattern of alternating gold and silver stripes. Together, they reflect incoming light and create a warm, soft yet bright illumination for the subject.

4. Godox SB-FW95 - 95 cm Softbox w. Grille 95 cm
The Godox series SB-FW softbox gives better control over the light beam and the pictures are more contrasting, although the softness of lighting characteristic of softboxes is still present. The construction of the softbox is based on a metal ring, which quick and easily fastens elastic rods, responsible for the strong and even skin tightening. The plating is made of a rip-stop nylon fabric thanks to which softboxes are very resistant to mechanical damage, and at the same time very light. The interior is covered with a silvery, neutral color reflective layer. In addition to the main scattering layer, the softbox is equipped with an additional internal diffuser, made of white material with a high coefficient of light scattering. At the front of the softbox there is a collar for mounting the honeycomb (included). The Softbox is equipped with a Bowens mounting ring.
5. Godox UB-008
The Godox UB-008 is a versatile studio umbrella that is ideal for photography and video production. With a diameter of 101 cm, this transparent umbrella provides even light distribution and allows for gentle illumination of subjects. Its octabox design ensures that the light is soft and diffused, which is particularly beneficial for portrait and product photography. The umbrella is lightweight and easy to transport, making it a practical tool for professional photographers and hobbyists alike. The transparent inner coating allows for optimal light scattering, while the bayonet mount ensures easy attachment to various light sources. The Godox UB-008 is a valuable addition to any photo studio.
6. Godox SB-GUE80
GODOX SB-GUE series is a softbox family characterized by a short folding and unfolding time. It is a light modifier useful for people who frequently change their workplace and conduct their sessions under time pressure or have little space for storage. Removable grille (included), mounted together with the Bowens system.
7. Godox SB-GUE120
The Godox SB-GUE series softbox not only saves valuable time but also makes it easier to work on set. This is possible thanks to the frame, which uses the principle of the umbrella. The plating fabric is stretched and held in tension by a structure whose rods are made of elastic steel.
If necessary, the softbox can be folded and stored in the case in a few seconds. The plating is made of a rip-stop nylon fabric, making the softbox very resistant to mechanical damage while remaining lightweight. The interior is finished with a silver screen that evenly distributes light on the diffusers. In addition to the main scattering layer, the softbox is equipped with an additional internal diffuser made of white material with a high coefficient of light scattering. In the front part, there is a collar used to mount the honeycomb (included).
The softbox is equipped with a Bowens mounting ring and can be used with products from other brands using the same mounting.
8. Walimex Shield softbox Reflector
It is also very popular in product photography. The silver reflective surface ensures optimal light reflection without a soft light characteristic. Thanks to the drawstring and zipper, the softbox can be precisely adjusted to the studio flash, preventing light from leaking through. This makes the softbox compatible with all standard studio flashes. The umbrella is made of high-quality materials and impresses with its elegant appearance. Both the tip and the frame are made of metal, which provides greater stability and thus a longer lifespan. The metal end of the handle is reinforced, making it easier to insert into the reflector holder on the studio flash unit.
9. Walimex Folding reflector per 107cm
The reflector with a gold coating is ideal for portrait photography or as an effect or fill light. Its color provides a warm light characteristic and a romantic atmosphere. The silver reflector is indispensable as an effect light in portrait and product photography, offering an unmatched hard and cool light characteristic. Due to their shape, round reflectors are optimal for both portrait and product photography. Whether used as a fill or effect light, these reflectors are always the first choice. The collapsible reflector is of excellent quality. Its sewn extra-strong spring ring ensures smooth and wrinkle-free reflection surfaces. When used as a background, it reduces post-processing time on the computer. The fabric carrying bag protects the reflector from dirt. The reflector folds down to a very compact size, making it easy to take anywhere.
10. Aputure Fresnel 2x Mount
After user feedback and groundbreaking research and development, the Fresnel 2X was developed. The new design features two optical elements, a larger 6" Fresnel front lens, improved ventilation and minimized light leakage, making it the ultimate Bowens Mount Fresnel. The Fresnel 2X has a double lens design. The rear lens focuses and enlarges the beam onto the larger 6" Fresnel front lens, which prevents light loss. The optical double lens design makes the Fresnel 2X twice as powerful as the original Aputure Fresnel and makes the 120D II up to 14 times brighter and breathes new life into your luminaires. Using a new rotating drum design, the Fresnel 2X creates an intuitive user interface similar to a camera lens. The smooth focus throw gives the user the ability to precisely determine the beam angle of his light source so you can easily spot or flood your light with a simple twist.
