Low ceilings? Then this is a must have.

If you find yourself shooting in spaces where there are low ceilings this is a must have product. I find that it works best with a bare bulb strobe or flash rather than a flash with a fresnel head. But if all you have is a speed light with a fresnel head then zoom out the fresnel head as wide as it will go.

Misleading Specs

Using this umbrella with a speedlight creates beautiful, soft light. However, the 32" closed size in the Specs refers to the umbrella only. Unfortunately, the shaft protrudes another six inches, making it much less portable. I was hoping to fit it into luggage when traveling... At 38" total closed length, that won't happen.

Another umbrella

Exactly as expected (what, another umbrella?) Yes, wanted the larger size without the overhead size, which makes this handier for short ceilinged rooms.

Great Light? Very Useful Design!

60" Wing Umbrella is big. I was able to light a large group in a small room with low ceiling and got even light with 16mm on my D850 - NICE! Well built, easy open/close. Would definitely recommend

This device just works!

This thing works beautifully, as a device to evenly light a large area, as a soft fill light and, when used vertically, to act as a primary light for a full-length portrait. It is much faster to set up and break down than a soft box.

Controls light nicely

I have many soft boxes but only a couple seems to give me what I want and this is one.The light that comes from the bounce is soft. It wraps around the subject matter so nicely. I’m planning on getting the smaller one as well.

Great light but fragile

I have been using this umbrella for about 5-6 weeks. Even though I only opened and closed it a couple of times one of the tips linking the rib to the fabric of the umbrella came undone. I was able to re-insert it with some difficulty. I think this umbrella is fragile and would not use it outdoors as it is likely to break down with a gentle breeze. Its worth noting that any umbrella of this size would be problematic outdoors unless you have about 30 to 40 pounds weighing down the base of the stand. For the positive I will state that it produces a very nice wrap-around light which can be focused from a large area of coverage to a small area by adjusting the distance of the umbrella to the strobe. When you do have your strobe close to the umbrella you lose the parabolic effect. I am using a Flashpoint XPLOR 600 watt second strobe with a reflector mounted on the strobe. I purchased this umbrella during a marked reduction of price and if you are going to restrict its use to a studio then I would say go ahead and get it.

Glow EZ Lock Wing-Like Parabolic Fiberglass Umbrella

I love the Glow EZ Lock Wing-Like Parabolic Fiberglass Umbrella. I have all three sizes the 45, 60 and 88" . I use them in low ceiling shoots. The quality is great and the soft light spread works out perfectly. I'm happy with my purchase.

Happy with glow wing like products

Only used the 88 inch one shoot but has an expanded coverage of quality light I have found with the two smaller sizes. I've read reviews about all of the wing like parabolic being flimsy but I have always used care with all photo equipment and have not experienced any concerns after 25 or more uses of all of my Glow wing likes. Well worth the money

Yet another quality Glow product worth the money

Had the smaller model and very happy with it. When this unit was on sale I ordered it and only use has been miscellaneous test shots. Additional coverage was experienced in tests and expect same with project subject Thanks Adorama for a quality product at a great price.

Ok, but flimsy

Flimsy construction, priced low for a reason I guess. Not sure how long it will last. Only real use in my opinion is with low ceilings.

Glow ez lock wing like umbrella 88"

By JERRY R.

Its large but beautiful light. The ability to go horizontal or vertical is great. much easier than similar sized softbox.

EZ-LOCK Wing-Like Parabolic Fiberglass 45", 60" & 88" Umbrellas

The Glow EZ Lock Umbrella is the perfect partner for your strobe. Whether you’re shooting studio portraits or covering events, this unique-shaped photography umbrella has the power to diffuse harsh lighting coming from your flash to produce more-flattering coverage for your subject or scene. Its dynamic parabolic shape is based on standard umbrellas but it follows a more innovative, rectangular wing-like design that helps save and make the most out of the available space. What helps set it apart is its reliable and secure EZ lock push-button system, which ensures quick and easy setup. It comes in three sizes (45”, 60”, 88”) and includes two layers of fabric that effectively modifies the light source to produce striking highlights, bring out sharp details, and create saturated yet evenly dispersed lighting. The semi-translucent white layer on the inside of the umbrella covers the metallic support rods and helps diffuse the light before it bounces on the back silver/black layer, which in turn bounces light back. Use it as a shoot-through by simply removing the silver/black layer. The output is similar to light coming from a window or softbox, but without the tell-tale circle catchlight that you would typically get from large umbrellas.

You'll find the Glow EZ Lock Wing-Like Parabolic Fiberglass Umbrella (45") to be a versatile and high-quality addition to your photography equipment. This durable umbrella is designed to be a superior light modifier, perfect for everything from intimate baby portraits to bustling event photography.

The unique split-parabolic shape of this umbrella, combined with its 45" size, allows it to provide ample coverage while fitting comfortably in smaller spaces. Whether you're working in a compact home studio or a crowded event venue, this umbrella's trim and tapered footprint ensures it won't take up unnecessary space.

The Glow EZ Lock system makes setup and takedown a breeze. No more fumbling with complicated mechanisms - a simple push of a button securely locks the umbrella in place or releases it for easy storage.

The innovative design of this umbrella goes beyond its easy-to-use locking system. Its wing-like shape is a rectangular adaptation of the traditional round parabolic umbrella, providing a soft, diffused light reminiscent of natural window light. This unique shape also allows for more control over the light direction, enabling you to create more dramatic effects with feathering and ratio control.

The umbrella features two layers of high-quality fabric that work together to modify your light source. The inner white layer completely covers the silver outer surface, effectively masking the support spokes and ensuring they remain hidden in reflections. This design allows you to achieve moderate specular highlights, bring out sharp details, and provide the most saturated indirect lighting.

When you need stronger, focused lighting, the umbrella's removable silver lining behind the white inner layer comes into play. This feature is especially useful for achieving higher light output, greater reach, and highlighting intricate details.

The Glow EZ Lock Wing-Like Parabolic Fiberglass Umbrella (45") is not just a light modifier, it's a tool for creative expression. Its versatile design and high-quality construction make it an invaluable asset for photographers looking to elevate their lighting game. Whether you're in a studio, on location, or at home, this umbrella is ready to help you capture stunning images.
