Q: 4. What's the meaning of off camera mode on one of the picture? Does it mean it can be used handheld?

A: I'm not sure what they mean - but they include an adapter for an XLR plugin which can be used with portable digital recorders and they have an adapter for the 3.5mm plug which can plug into the DSLR models that have a microphone plug. One is on camera and one is off camera - so maybe that's what they mean? You cannot capture audio without plugging it into some type of recording device - it is not a stand alone microphone/recorder.

Q: 5. Would this (and siros inside) be OK on a matthews c-stand or would I need to get something like a baby jr for indoor use?

A: The Broncolor Tilt Head with Crank for Para Reflectors B&H # BRTHPFB is needed to mount this Para to a stand, but that stand needs to be one with a junior receiver such as the Manfrotto 008BU Black Cine Stand - 7' B&H # MA3071B. https://bhpho.to/2zgVTXA

Q: 6. does it come with the inversion lid?

A: Yes.

Q: 7. Can I mount a Siros L on the back of it, like on a regular softbox?

A: No, due to the construction of the Siros L, the Para 88 reflector cannot be mounted to the front of the lamp.

Q: 8. How good is the XLR to 3.5mm cable? Could this potentially work with the Zoom H1 without too much hiss?

A: Hi the XLR to 3.5mm cable works, but you would want to replace it straight away. Very little cost to do this, couple of Dollars. The mic works well and you can phantom power it (48v), or runs a very long time on one AA battery. I use a Zoom H1 and had no problems. There is a design fault with the mic switch. I have bought three and use all of them but the switch disintegrates if you don't take lots of care with it.Best to run it on phantom power then you don't need to operate the switch. Of course not possible with a Zoom H1

Q: 9. In the second photo above, there is a light mounted from the back like a regular softbox. Does that mean you can put Siros or other broncolor lights considering they all have the same front mount. Someone above (dan) has said that you cant. Can this point be clarified please?

A: According to the overview, "this version of the [Broncolor Para 88] is rear-firing and has an F-type rod, meaning that its optional flash head points in towards the back of the reflector. Those looking for front firing should purchase the FT rod or a kit that comes with it." Unfortunately, it seems those items/kits are no longer available with us.

Q: 10. Aside the Pulso Head adapter is there something else I should consider buying? Like this Focusing Device 33.504.00 for example. Is it necessary?

A: No additional items besides the Para Adapter for Pulso is required for operation of the para, however, accessory diffusion or light grids could be considered.
