New ‘Rayo’ beauty dish coming from Mola?

Canadian firm Mola launched a new model of 28-inch beauty dish reflector called the Sollo back in June. It is based on the design of the existing Mola Setti with a new, “one stop brighter” Satin Silver finish. The Sollo reflector is now on sale, retailing for US$760.

Since then, New York-based superstore B&H Photo have a new listing for another reflector called the “Mola Rayo 16-inch“, priced at $236.50 (about $30 less than the Demi). There are no pictures yet, so perhaps it could be an entirely design from the manufacturer.

The current line-up of softlight reflectors from Mola are all bigger than 16 inches: the 43.5″ Mantti, 33.5″ Euro and Beamm, 28″ Setti and Sollo and 22″ Demi.

    How can a company ask $760 for a beauty dish? No really can someone explain how they can justify that price?

      You have a problem with a $760 beauty dish? You pay for the patents, local manufacturing, design and a time and tested 15-20 years of being one of the only 3rd parties strictly making beautydishes. Makes the $5,500 Para from broncolor look like chump change.

        Couldn’t agree more James. By the way, you do great work!

      Mark, as a pro shooter exclusively using Mola beauty dishes I can tell unequivocally they’re worth ever penny. If you have doubts why not rent one and give it a try? I’m betting you’ll quickly join the ranks of pros who make the Mola family of beauty dishes their first and only choice.

      Cheap imitations can’t begin to approach to quality of light, output efficiency, and build quality achieved using genuine Mola beauty dishes. Save your money and get the real thing, you’ll be glad you did!

    Can anyone explain to me how the Mola “step up” design improves the light quality please? What I saw is an smaller illumination area on a large beauty dish, and I assume what that’ll do is making more contrast on the subject am i right?

    Looks a decent price for a Mola. Interested to see some results.
