Light bounces off the included deflector and is directed outwards to edge of the beauty dish. Setup is a snap, literally. Just use the previously introduced, separately purchased OCF speed ring which accepts the rods before they are tensioned, then snap them into place for use. The beauty dish comes with a front diffuser for an even softer look as well as a carry bag. The dish is recommended for use only with Profoto heads that have an LED modeling lamp.
