My first Photogenic 60" umbrella lasted 5 years of heavy wedding use. Finally a rib broke. This replacement is identical, I think. Only caveat was that it arrived with a slight bow to the umbrella shaft that slides into the umbrella fixture on the strobe light. The shipping box was in perfect shape and the sealed package around the umbrella was in perfect shape. I thought that perhaps Photogenic designed in the bow to compensate for the center of the umbrella not being in the center of the light beam because the shaft will always be offset a few inches above or below the light. Photogenic website shows a straight shaft. So, is this a feature? It works as well as my other one before it broke.

The shaft of the umbrella is just pressed into place. I pulled two of them apart just by removing them from the package.
