With its innovative design and superior construction, the Photoflex Convertible 30" White Umbrella stands out as the pinnacle of versatility and reliability in photographic lighting accessories. The latest enhancements to our umbrella line include the integration of fiberglass composite materials for the ribs and strut pivots, which not only surpass the strength of traditional steel or aluminum but also provide exceptional flexibility and resilience. This advancement significantly reduces the risk of damage from overextending the ribs, ensuring that your umbrella remains in top condition even with frequent use.The central pole of the Photoflex Convertible 30" White Umbrella is meticulously extruded and sealed at the base, distinguishing it from the common hollow-tubed umbrellas that are prone to bending and denting. This attention to durability reinforces the umbrella's longevity, making it a wise investment for both amateur and professional photographers alike.One of the most compelling features of this umbrella is its convertible nature. It effortlessly transitions from a reflective bounce umbrella, which redirects and softens the light, to a translucent "shoot through" umbrella that creates a diffused and even light. This dual functionality allows photographers to experiment with different lighting techniques without the need for multiple accessories.The Photoflex Convertible 30" White Umbrella is compatible with a wide range of lighting setups, including both strobe and continuous hot lights, offering creative flexibility for various shooting scenarios. Additionally, for those who require a larger spread of light, this model is also available in 45" (UM-RUT45) and 60" (UM-RUT60) sizes.With a standard 8mm shaft diameter, this umbrella is designed to fit a variety of lighting equipment mounts, making it a versatile addition to any photographer's toolkit. The umbrella's lightweight and portable nature has been praised by users who appreciate the ease with which it can be incorporated into their portable lighting kits.The Photoflex Convertible 30" White Umbrella is not only a testament to exceptional value but also a commitment to quality, backed by a 3-year warranty. Whether you're a budding photographer or a seasoned professional aiming for Certified Professional Photographer status, this umbrella is an essential component for achieving the soft, flattering light that is crucial for capturing stunning images.

Great light modifier large size easily provide full body coverage if needed without having to move further

Great light modifier

Excellent value, and works beautifully to spread out the light from a flash for evenly lit portraits.  Nice construction, I'm sure will last a long time.

Excellent Value Unbrella

Was exactly what I needed. Like the portable size, and can fit in my portable lighting kit. The umbrella is durable and very lightweight too.

Good umbrella

Seems to be a very nicely made umbrella. I am a student a N.Y.I.P. And i purchased these two umbrellas for my portrait photography course. Adorama, really had excellent customer service with this order. And would definitely buy from them again.

Photoflex 60" Umbrellas.

I like soft light sources, the bigger the better. In much of my work, however, big umbrellas and soft boxes are just too big for the limited space available on location. When that happens, I turn to a small umbrella. I've carried a 30" umbrella with me for over 30 years. That umbrella was destroyed recently in an outdoor location session mishap. I bought two of these to replace it, and have been very happy with them. If you need a small umbrella at a reasonable price, this is your best bet.

Photoflex Convertible 30" White Umbrella works great!

Absolutely a quality product for the price.  Should be sealed around the center hole with some kind of sealant to prevent unraveling; a plastic washer would also help.  Other than that would highly recommend.

For quality, reliability & dependability,  choose Photoflex!

great umbrella

I have had a Photoflex umbrella since the mid 1980's. It is still operational.  Even though I tend to baby my gear, I expect this umbrella to perform as well, if not better than my old one. I love that I can either bounce or shoot through it for a softer look. There are more expensive products on the market, but the whole point is the versatility vs cost of these. Great product, without worrying about replacement cost.

Shoot Through Or Bounce

Great value for the price.  Quality as expected from Photoflex.

Awesome Light Modifier

affordable and good quality.

It’s not flawless, but it’s good enough.  A big weakness is some material quality choices throughout the umbrella.  For example the slip cover, is a cheap vinyl pouch that also serves as the retail package. Also the metal tips that hold the black-out backing to the ends of the ribs are sewn to the backing material pretty cheaply.  They’re not going to hold up to regular use.

But... otherwise this thing gets the job done.  Easy as cake to deploy. Just as easy to pack up. And it doesn’t weigh a lot.  There aren’t any horrendous gaffes or design flaws I can find.  Either spend the money on top of the line material and workmanship or get this where some cost-cutting shows and it gets the job done.

Good enough.

Outstanding product. We recommend it to other photographers

Great umbrella

Price right, good quality!!!!!!

I love the smaller size of this umbrella. I used it last weekend for league softball pics. Very sturdy and great light spread!

Great, compact umbrella.

Good priced umbrella

Great value.  The end cap actually screws off to secure the black umbrella.  Used as a shoot through with an alienbee and gave consistent even light.  Great for full body shot.

Great value

This product is well constructed and reliable. Creates nice light

Solid construction

I needed this for my CPP image submissions. I’m very happy with the results and I’m hoping to pass my CPP so I can become a Certified Professional Photographer.

Just what I ordered

Great, large, soft umbrella with white satin reflective surface (which I prefer to shoot-through). Gorgeous lighting without too much specularity.

Highly recommended! Light, well made, simple to use.

This is a well made umbrella that can stand up to my level of use, but I only do studio work now and then.

Decent quality, good value

Like most of these reviews, it must be taken with the caveat that I've only just received my umbrellas and used them a handful of times, but thus far they seem to be what I've come to expect from Photoflex.  They're not the cheapest or the most expensive but seem to ride that sweet spot of quality at a reasonable price.  They seem well built and have thus far provided great results.  Definitely recommend.

Quality product - reasonable price

When I purchased this Phitoflex Convertible Umbrella I didn't think I would get the quality I received from it. Now its one of my favorite  modifier's. Now I'm thinking about purchasing the diffuser to go over the reflector portion of the umbrella.

Satisfied Customer.

Great

I was looking for an affordable light reflector that would soften the harsh light from my Nikon SB-800.  I tried to look into the 30” version for its low price but when I had a look at it than I did not feel comfortable and I asked for a bigger one which is this 45” version.  I am glad that I did.  I even brought a Photoflex 45” diffuser later on. I did some test shots with and without diffuser and both were great.  They both shown the difference in lighting as well.  I would recommend this product for a beginner as well as professionals.  Especially for the price that you can’t beat.

My First Umbrella For My Nikon Speedlight

I bought one of these umbrellas sometime ago from Adorama. I'm a keep it simple 'one light / one reflector' kind of guy. But I like this umbrella so much I wanted a second one - just because. I'm sure there will be moments to be a 'two lights' kind of guy! Who knows? In the future I might go for three! Thanks Adorama.

Sturdy, well made, versatile light modifier solution.

Was recommended this umbrella by my Adorama sales person, used it once and I am so happy with it.

Very Happy Customer

I really like the light quality even though it's a bit softer than expected for a silver umbrella. I should have known since it is also shoot through, the shoot through feature is nice and it works but it also dumps a lot of light into the room since you shoot through the silver side. Used normally it requires significantly higher power compared to a typical silver umbrella. For portraits its a great fill light. I also like the look for product shots. I used them on a shoot and was happy with the results. I knocked it down a star because the umbrella rod bends a little when mounted and the end is not rounded which makes it a bump hazard if it's at eye level.

Ok build quality, softer light than expected

This umbrella is worth every penny. I have used it add a with ease.  The build quality is stellar and when folded its so small it fits in my rolling bag.  I'm going to buy a 2nd in the next size up.  I highly recommend it!

Quality, durable light modifier

Great umbrella. Sturdy construction. Works great.
