Godox Beauty Dish Reflector (Silver, 16.5")
Key Features
  • Soft Look with an Edge of Crispness
  • Bowens Mount
  • Center Deflector
  • Diffuser Sock
A favorite of fashion and portrait shooters, the Silver 16.5" Beauty Dish Reflector from Godox bounces the light off a centrally positioned deflector and is directed to fill the silver reflector interior. The result is a signature soft look but with an edge of crispness (ideal for hair and makeup), that you can't get from umbrellas and softboxes. For those who want a softer look, a diffusion sock is included. The silver interior adds a little contrast and punch and increases the light's throw range. An added bonus is the natural-looking catchlights that appear in the subject's eyes. Optional accessories include a honeycomb grid to tunnel and direct the light output.

What is the degree of coverage with the dish?, I'm looking for something with a wide and long throw of light, and, the Smaller 7" Godox reflectors have plastic diffusers that snap on, are these available for this dish?
Asked by: evan
The beauty dish will have a very wide coverage. If you want a diffuser to use with it you can use https://bhpho.to/2N5XMAV. Beauty dishes are not meant for long throw. If you want a long throw you need a narrow reflector like this one https://bhpho.to/2SVXhsy.

question

Can the dish spin on the mount ring?
Asked by: Daniel Y.
No, the Godox Beauty Dish Reflector would not spin. It is designed to lock into place on the light fixture, and as such, it would not spin when connected to your light fixture (though it may rotate slightly).

Will this fit my Godox SK 300 II studio strobe?

Will this fit my Godox SK 300 II studio strobe?
Asked by: Kiunna
As the Godox SK300II Studio Strobe uses the Bowens S-mount connection to connect light modifiers to the monolight strobe unit and as the Godox Beauty Dish Reflector (Silver, 16.5"), B&H # GOBDRS, uses the Bowens S-mount, yes, the Godox Beauty Dish Reflector (Silver, 16.5") listed above would be compatible for use with the Godox SK300II Studio Strobe.
