Questions & Answers

Ike C : Can you remove the black outer cover to make this umbrella a shoot through? If not, what are the pros and cons of getting this umbrella vs. the convertible shoot-through umbrella? Thanks for your answers.GARTH S : No, the fabric is white on the inside and black on the outside. This umbrella might be slightly more reflective than the convertible. The convertible is more flexible largely because you can use it as a shoot through. You can also use the backing on the convertible to create more directional lighting by removing half the backing. Still, I think the best buy in the 45" category is the Photoflex White Satin. You can bounce off it or shoot through it.SCOTT R : Hey Ike! No, you cannot remove the black outer cover of this particular umbrella. I believe Photoflex makes a convertible one but you probably won't get the results you are looking for! This umbrella reflects and spreads out the light and does a fine job of it- I haven't been disappointed yet! A shoot through spreads out the light in a different way, I don't see how you could get the best of both worlds from one umbrella??? If I were you get both and let them each do their own job. Hope this helps :)DAKIN, D : It would never have occurred to me to take it off....but it is plastic. I was disappointed at first with the apparent flimsiness. However I have taken it on location and opened and closed thousands of times and it has held up . For the price it deserves an 8 out of 10.DAVE B : NO. The fabric has a white "rubbery" coating on the side. I often use the adjustment feature to make a shallow but wide light source for groups in a room with low ceilings.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?CARIN L : They are pure white.HERMIN J : My crew lost my other one

Great umbrella for the price

The adjustability part of it sounded cool and I have no idea what I was expecting but it appears that to change the shape you simply pull the cover off the tip of one or more spines. The literature says it's good for small areas because of this but the spines still stick out so you're not really making it smaller, just changing the shape of the light. Maybe I don't get it but it's still a great "normal" umbrella. It would be awesome if it were both shoot through and adjustable.

rock solid

These things are tough, period. Handle / stem is thick and the fabric is fastened well. Significantly more durable than others I've bought over the years from other brands.

Nice Versatility

Its nice to have a portable umbrella that is small, light, and can be used in three different configurations. Had a bit of trouble with the unit turning (especially outdoors) while mounted in its stand because the umbrella shaft is very shiny and hard to tighten down. So I dulled the smoothness of the shaft with a very fine sandpaper and it seems to stay in position much better now.

Keeper! I will buy again if needed...

Really well built, fiberglass stays make it strong and resistant to breakage- worth the extra couple of bucks!

This is not a shoot through umbrella...

Photoflex's products are excellent, well made and durable. This particular product is not a shoot through umbrella, as the black cover doesn't come off. It was part of a kit, and although it isn't shoot through it is a good umbrella for those moment when you want non-directional bounce light out of a strobe. It fits nicely into my Elinchrom heads.

Best umbrella ever

this umbrellas are the best... the quality of them are superior of any umbrellas I got... they are not made with metal, so they and bend a little bit and return to the original form... I really like them. All photoflex products are very high quality.

There's none better than Photoflex

Have tried other, less expensive brands but none have the quality of Photoflex. Their customer support is also outstanding.

Excellent umbrella

By WALTER T.

I use this for bouncing Nikon SB-800 and SB-600 flashes. It does an excellent job for portraits.

Enhance your photography sessions with the Photoflex 45" Adjustable White Umbrella, a top-tier choice for professional photographers and enthusiasts alike. Known for its versatility, this umbrella stands out in the market of photographic umbrellas, offering a unique blend of functionality and durability.

Constructed with a new and improved design, the umbrella features ribs and strut pivots made from a robust fiberglass composite. This material surpasses the strength of traditional steel or aluminum, providing superior resilience and longevity. This innovative design ensures almost carefree handling, significantly reducing the risk of damage from over bending, a common issue with delicate steel tube ribs.

The Photoflex umbrella boasts a sturdy center pole, extruded and closed off at the base. This design feature sets it apart from many other umbrellas that use folded, hollow tubes, which are prone to bending and denting. The robust construction of the Photoflex umbrella enhances its durability, making it a reliable tool for your photography needs.

The white interior of the umbrella is designed for maximum light reflection, offering lower contrast than silver umbrellas. This feature aids in creating a soft, even illumination, perfect for portrait photography and other genres where a flattering light is essential.

One of the key features of this umbrella is its adjustability. With four movable ribs, you can alter the shape of the umbrella to suit your lighting needs. This feature, coupled with its 45-inch size, makes it compatible with a variety of light sources, including strobes and hot lights, adding to its versatility.

The Photoflex 45" Adjustable White Umbrella also comes in a 30" model (UM-ADW30) for those seeking a smaller size. The shaft diameter is 8mm, making it a perfect fit for most standard umbrella mounts. With a 3-year warranty, this umbrella is not just a purchase, but an investment in your photography equipment.
