The 18" FotodioX Pro Beauty Dish for Speedotron Brown and Black Line Flash Heads diffuses light to provide high output with moderate feathering. Unlike a softbox or a reflector which has an illuminating surface, the beauty dish has a circle of light with an opaque center and an internal light shield that allows bounce-only lighting. FotodioX beauty dishes use a parabolic reflector in 80° angle to focus light towards a wrapped area.

Pretty disappointing. The grid arrived damaged, and the small reflector in the middle of the dish has a couple issues- the threaded rods that hold it up don't have any faceting that would allow you to grip them as you install them (and just finger-tightening them doesn't work, so i had to use a pair of pliers, which chewed them up), the threaded portion is longer that will fit on the interior side, making it more wobbly (and if you screw it in all the way, it projects out the back and interferes with installation of the ring to attach to the head), one of the threaded openings was poorly milled and really hard to screw into, and the interior side of the central disc (where being white and reflective is more important) is less fully painted than the forward-facing side. Also, it isn't compatible with the Blackline 106 head, which is too large to fit.
Works great with my Gemini 400, good quality, glad this product is offered!
