Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint 16-Rib 86" Parabolic Silver Umbrella:
This is one great piece of equipment. The parabolic is efficient and big and soft. You have to know how to set it up though:
1) no reflector on your strobe
2) choke the umbrella up so that the edge of the umbrella is on the edge of your flashtube.
It creates an 86 inch shaft of light that is breathtaking.

Photographers renting the studio LOVE it so far. This big silver umbrella produces just as it says, like a softbox, but uses far less power for much more BANG. Soft shadows from a relatively long subject-to-light distance keeps the shooting area much less cluttered. I really like it, but I use it very carefully -- it's NOT rugged gear.
