Take your photography to the next level with the Glow 72" White Parabolic Umbrella, a stylish and durable lighting modifier designed with a removable Silver/Black layer. This high-quality, professional-grade umbrella provides an even, diffused lighting effect with soft shadow definition, perfect for capturing stunning portraits and bringing out intricate details in your subjects.Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, from the fabric to the frame ribs, this umbrella sets a new benchmark in portable light control. Despite its simple design, it boasts a unique feature: a black opaque top cover over a super reflective silver layer. This feature minimizes light loss that naturally occurs through the white fabric material, ensuring optimal lighting for your photography sessions.The Glow White Parabolic Umbrella offers three creative lighting options: traditional soft bounce, a softer and more efficient bounce with the silver/black outer layer, and a clarity-enhancing shoot-through diffuser. This versatility makes it an invaluable tool for photographers looking to experiment with different lighting effects.The umbrella's parabolic shape, akin to a large to giant-sized parabolic reflector, is more efficient at feathering light. When light is aimed at the umbrella's focal point, it bounces off the entire surface at varying angles. However, upon leaving the umbrella, all the rays align parallel, ensuring more light reaches your subject for enhanced control and precision.Compared to Glow softboxes, which simulate window, sky, and north light, this umbrella is more compact and quicker to set up. The shape of the catch lights in a portrait subject's eyes and the size of the modifier in relation to the subject can also be factors in choosing this light modifier. The larger and closer the light source is to the subject, the softer the results will be in the transition of the highlight into the shadow. Conversely, the smaller the size of the unit and the further the distance from the light to the subject, the harder the effect will be.In conclusion, the Glow 72" White Parabolic Umbrella with Removable Silver/Black Layer is a versatile, high-quality, and professional choice for photographers seeking to enhance their lighting control and create stunning, detailed images.

works great, easy to set up, hasn't pinched my fingers once, didn't notice it transformed into a shoot through until i already bought it but that was a welcome surprise

good, cheap umbrella

I've never seen another umbrella with logo printed on them. It won't affect color much but knowing it is there and some light is passing through it makes me wanna buy something else instead.

it is a translucent umbrella. don't print a color logo on it.

For $15 you'd have to be crazy not to have this in your lighting kit. Super simple, setup doesn't get any easier than this.  Shoot through the white umbrella for a nice soft light. If you need more punch put the black cover over the umbrella and shoot into the slightly diffused silver and adjust distance accordingly.  Inexpensive, lightweight, compact, functional.

No better ROI as far as light modifiers go.

I do a lot of in home sessions and all my gear has to be able to save space. I'm excited to be able to use this umbrella- When I get to photograph newborn, I like to be able to have the white umbrella to soften the light on the baby, I have others but just don't feel that it is an even cast. This should really do the trick!

60 inch umbrella, Can't wait to use for next studio session

Great umbrella for the price. The light diffuses well. It collapses and goes up easily. The only small problem I have is that the pole dents if mounted a bit tighter than just snugly.

Great umbrella

For an Umbrella it does exactly what it is designed to do. Hold out the Rai- I mean, reflect light.

Setup with my lighting system works as intended, and I have no complaints.

Does great - Exactly what I'd expect

Would be 5 stars if the case actually had the handles pictured in the product description. Otherwise, good stuff.

Good but no strap as pictured

This umbrella is inexpensive enough that buying a plain white umbrella doesn't make sense.

Smart investment

Simple and Easy

It really can't get much better.  It's an umbrella--it's solidly built, produces a great quality of light, and it's only $15 for 40", which is a substantial size!  On top of all this, it's multi-dimensional in the fact that you can either use it as a bounce or shoot-through style!  The removable black/silver backing comes off easily.  If I had to pick on anything I think they could choose a better attachment method for the backing, like a velcro fastening system instead of unlatching the metal attachments on the tips of the umbrella, but it's rather easy and quick.  It would be quicker to rip it off if it was fastened by velcro, but that's being very picky.  Listen, it's only $15, and it's solid materials with a nice case!  Get two--I did!!!

Fantastic umbrella and great quality, inexpensive light source for small groups!

Good quality umbrella, will definitely buy 1 more

40 inch Glow White Umbrella

Great value for price

Recently purchased 2 of these umbrellas to added to my OCF sent up as I am wanting to add OCF in my sessions. 

Have had a few trial runs with them and they are super cool. Easy to handle, soft light and spread. Totally happy with my purchase.

Fantastic product and addiction to my OCF set up.

Studio light

Shoot through or reflector is a nice option. Taking care when removing and installing the black/silver cover should ensure a relatively long life. I am happy with this purchase.

Shoot through or reflector is a nice option

Excellent value. Great umbrella. It?s the perfect size to use with my Flashpoint eVOLV 200. The bare bulb head fills the umbrella completely. The round head almost fille it completely.
