So I know 99% of people will say buy cheap umbrellas. I have some & a bunch of Glows'. I am replacing an Elinchrom 41" I had for years and left somewhere. Those were $80 so I decided I'd buy 1 Profoto umbrella to see what it was like. I had a couple of silvers many years ago, they were industrial grade and made with metal ribs and stretchers (that bent). This Translucent is extremely light. I think the ribs and stretchers are fiberglass, The hinge points are some sort of nylon. It's a 8mm shaft that seem pretty stiff. Time will tell but first impression is good. Docked one star because of the cost...VAT...

Typical Profoto quality. Outstanding build and will outlast less expensive umbrellas. More expensive than others, but worth it.

When capturing professional-grade fashion or portrait photography, the Profoto Shallow White Umbrella (Small, 33" or 83.82cm) is an indispensable tool that combines portability with affordability. Despite its compact size, this Profoto umbrella stands out for its remarkable reliability and robust construction. Crafted from high-quality, heat-resistant fabrics, it ensures durability and longevity even under frequent use. The materials are also specially treated to resist rust and discoloration, maintaining the umbrella's aesthetic appeal over time.
This small, stylish umbrella is not just lightweight and easy to transport, but also versatile enough to adapt to various lighting conditions. As a light modifier, it softens and shapes the light falling on the subject, reducing harsh shadows for a more balanced and flattering illumination. The white interior of the umbrella diffuses light effectively, while the black exterior adds a touch of contrast, enabling photographers to create more dramatic and visually striking images.
In essence, the Profoto Shallow White Umbrella (Small, 33") is a high-quality, durable, and professional choice for photographers seeking to enhance their lighting setup and produce superior results.
