This 33″ diameter Reflector Umbrella from Godox softens and expands the beam spread of the fixture that it’s used with. The white interior reflects a moderate contrast neutral quality of light, while the black exterior prevents light loss through the umbrella.

With dimensions of 30.7 x 9.4 x 9.4″, the CB-04 Hard Carrying Case with Wheels from Godox can hold a two or three-light kit with accessories, making it ideal for Smart, Mini Pioneer, and Mini Master series equipment.

For short distances, straps on each side of the bag can be connected via a detachable grip for simple hand carrying.

The case offers a spacious main compartment for holding most of the equipment, which closes via zippers to ensure everything stays safely inside. It features a zippered pocket on the interior of the lid for small accessories or everyday items. Finally, a clear window on the front of the bag allows you to insert a tag with your name or phone number for easy identification when travelling.
