Questions & Answers

William W : Does this unit actually have a black light-blocking outside cover? Is it removable?BARBARA H : The black part is non-removable and the reflective inside is alot more reflective than the convertible version(2021)DANA J : This umbrella has a black light blocking outside cover. However the black cover is "NOT" Removable. When doing location photography of small to medium size groups of people: I use two of these umbrellas (reflecting) on camera left with one Nikon SB-910 in each. And, two (shoot through) optical white umbrellas on camera right with one Nikon SB-910 in each.DANIEL S : Yes it does and it is not removable.DENNIS R : The material is one piece with black exterior face and silver interior face, non removable. It is also collapsible similar to standard umbrellas that fold inward when closing.JACK Y : Yes, there is a black cover but it is not removable. It appears to be bonded to the silver lining reflective side.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?VELL D : Compact, widespread, detachable cover, brand, and costRYAN M : The price was very reasonable.CHRIS F : Replacing all due to them barely making it through a season. To be fair, a season lasts each pair of umbrellas about 25k subjects.DOUGLAS H : Very portableTOMAS R : i have 2 and need 2 moreTHOMAS M : Buying from Adorama, I know the product will be legit and not a knockoff.Michael L : I have one already and liked itKELVIN G : Once again I have had already. Works great. But had to order two because I drop the first and it bent. However it still workedPedro M : Quality and reviewsDANIEL S : I needed a fairly large silver umbrella that would fold down small. This does just that and the shaft is sturdy too. The soft silver interior is closer to gray than "soft silver", but it still reflects nicely. I got the shoot-thru version too.

Easy to use & store

Easy to setup and easy to put away. I have more expensive umbrellas that break easily when setting them up. These pop open and close easily and will last forever.

Doesn’t fit the Godox ad400pro, because of the shaft shape, but seems pretty well built.

Works Great

I used it recently in a family photo I took at night. I used two umbrella's and a camera mounted flash. There were 35 people who were lit well enough so that with Lightroom adjustments it came out great. Folds up nice and easy to carry with it plastic case.

Good quality umbrella

Just like all of my outdoor umbrellas, these took a couple falls on the first day of shooting. They are well built, and as far as I can tell they should stand up to a lot more falls! I have been using them as shoot through umbrellas, but I haven't tested them as bounce umbrellas yet. The black outer cloth is nice to have whether or not you use it for bounce because it helps to keep it clean. The umbrella came in a plastic sheath that makes for good storage.

Great all around modifier 45"

I've always been a fan of Westcott products. I purchased this particular size (45") because I find it to be universally well suited for use with monoblock lights like my Einsteins as well as my Nikon speedlights. I used this umbrella in concert with another and a beauty dish to light a large group of singers. With the umbrellas and lights positioned at the edge of the frame I was able to light the 75 performers on stage easily. I love the convertible nature of this umbrella making it even more useful to my work.

Exactly what you expect

Exactly what you expect with these umbrellas. I will say, the overall build is much better with the fiberglass over the traditional metal, which means it can take a hit better if it gets blown over by wind.

FEATURED REVIEWS

works great! versatile

By Valerie M.

This umbrella works great! I even had one of my strobes go out on me and this was all I used for a group of 9 in a small studio. -I love that I can use it as a shoot-through or a reflective umbrella! Nice LARGE size. Other review was correct, but all umbrellas are advertised like that. It is 60" including the arc not across.

Sharing My Opinion

By FineArtPhotographer

Westcott umbrellas seem to be sturdier and better built than its competitors, and umbrellas are more economical than softboxes. The shaft is stronger and I like the black coating over the shaft. They are professional looking and a good value for the price. I especially like the provision of the black cover used to reduce light spill. I can remove it, and cover the open end with a black material, using the umbrella as a shoot-through, and convert it into a makeshift softbox. Westcott umbrellas...
