Questions & Answers

michael s : do they make a diffuser for the 88" model???
Shopper : do they make a diffuser for 88" one?Michael r : I do not think so. I haven't seen one and have always used it as it.
ROBERT K : Would one 88" be enough for a team photo of approx. 20 people ?Renato A : Yes, depending on the space between the light source and the subjects.Stacey A : Yes, the umbrella will accommodate a group of 20. I would suggest three things: 1 Position light and umbrella far enough to eliminate photographers shadowing 2 insure flash unit is strong enough to give good exposure on both ends of group 3 slightly tilt umbrella downward I shoot many large groups monthly. The umbrella has truly been a lifesaver. I purchased a second a few weeks ago to help with backlighting. Enjoy!!Michael r : Yes. I used it to shoot a team similar in size. I actually used two of them to shoot a group of 80.MICHAEL D : Hi Robert, Please email us at brands@adorama.com and we can discuss in further detail.Jerry L : It can be depending on the power of your monolight. I purchased the 88" umbrella for that purpose. I wanted to travel light for weddings and groups. I use monolights with 600ws to make sure I can get the f stop i need.JOEL R : So many variables to say for certain. With the right light in shoot-through mode I think it would but I've only tried smaller groups so far. Two umbrellas is prob the safer way to go.CARLOS V : With 2 definitely, but it also depends on your light sourceMARC F : I used it for 2 people only. I do not think it would be enough with one umbrella. It could be possible with 20 people in 3 rows but 2 umbrella seems more appropriate.

Low ceilings? Then this is a must have.

If you find yourself shooting in spaces where there are low ceilings this is a must have product. I find that it works best with a bare bulb strobe or flash rather than a flash with a fresnel head. But if all you have is a speed light with a fresnel head then zoom out the fresnel head as wide as it will go.

Misleading Specs

Using this umbrella with a speedlight creates beautiful, soft light. However, the 32" closed size in the Specs refers to the umbrella only. Unfortunately, the shaft protrudes another six inches, making it much less portable. I was hoping to fit it into luggage when traveling... At 38" total closed length, that won't happen.

Another umbrella

Exactly as expected (what, another umbrella?) Yes, wanted the larger size without the overhead size, which makes this handier for short ceilinged rooms.

Great Light? Very Useful Design!

60" Wing Umbrella is big. I was able to light a large group in a small room with low ceiling and got even light with 16mm on my D850 - NICE! Well built, easy open/close. Would definitely recommend

This device just works!

This thing works beautifully, as a device to evenly light a large area, as a soft fill light and, when used vertically, to act as a primary light for a full-length portrait. It is much faster to set up and break down than a soft box.

Controls light nicely

I have many soft boxes but only a couple seems to give me what I want and this is one.The light that comes from the bounce is soft. It wraps around the subject matter so nicely. I’m planning on getting the smaller one as well.

Great light but fragile

I have been using this umbrella for about 5-6 weeks. Even though I only opened and closed it a couple of times one of the tips linking the rib to the fabric of the umbrella came undone. I was able to re-insert it with some difficulty. I think this umbrella is fragile and would not use it outdoors as it is likely to break down with a gentle breeze. Its worth noting that any umbrella of this size would be problematic outdoors unless you have about 30 to 40 pounds weighing down the base of the stand. For the positive I will state that it produces a very nice wrap-around light which can be focused from a large area of coverage to a small area by adjusting the distance of the umbrella to the strobe. When you do have your strobe close to the umbrella you lose the parabolic effect. I am using a Flashpoint XPLOR 600 watt second strobe with a reflector mounted on the strobe. I purchased this umbrella during a marked reduction of price and if you are going to restrict its use to a studio then I would say go ahead and get it.

Glow EZ Lock Wing-Like Parabolic Fiberglass Umbrella

I love the Glow EZ Lock Wing-Like Parabolic Fiberglass Umbrella. I have all three sizes the 45, 60 and 88" . I use them in low ceiling shoots. The quality is great and the soft light spread works out perfectly. I'm happy with my purchase.

Happy with glow wing like products

Only used the 88 inch one shoot but has an expanded coverage of quality light I have found with the two smaller sizes. I've read reviews about all of the wing like parabolic being flimsy but I have always used care with all photo equipment and have not experienced any concerns after 25 or more uses of all of my Glow wing likes. Well worth the money

Yet another quality Glow product worth the money

Had the smaller model and very happy with it. When this unit was on sale I ordered it and only use has been miscellaneous test shots. Additional coverage was experienced in tests and expect same with project subject Thanks Adorama for a quality product at a great price.

Ok, but flimsy

Flimsy construction, priced low for a reason I guess. Not sure how long it will last. Only real use in my opinion is with low ceilings.

Glow ez lock wing like umbrella 88"

By JERRY R.

Its large but beautiful light. The ability to go horizontal or vertical is great. much easier than similar sized softbox.

EZ-LOCK Wing-Like Parabolic Fiberglass 45", 60" & 88" Umbrellas

The Glow EZ Lock Umbrella is the perfect partner for your strobe. Whether you’re shooting studio portraits or covering events, this unique-shaped photography umbrella has the power to diffuse harsh lighting coming from your flash to produce more-flattering coverage for your subject or scene. Its dynamic parabolic shape is based on standard umbrellas but it follows a more innovative, rectangular wing-like design that helps save and make the most out of the available space. What helps set it apart is its reliable and secure EZ lock push-button system, which ensures quick and easy setup. It comes in three sizes (45”, 60”, 88”) and includes two layers of fabric that effectively modifies the light source to produce striking highlights, bring out sharp details, and create saturated yet evenly dispersed lighting. The semi-translucent white layer on the inside of the umbrella covers the metallic support rods and helps diffuse the light before it bounces on the back silver/black layer, which in turn bounces light back. Use it as a shoot-through by simply removing the silver/black layer. The output is similar to light coming from a window or softbox, but without the tell-tale circle catchlight that you would typically get from large umbrellas.

While the Glow EZ Lock Wing-Like 88" Parabolic Fiberglass Umbrella stands as a premier lighting accessory for photographers, its innovative design takes light modification to the next level. This umbrella is the quintessential tool for capturing everything from intimate baby portraits to dynamic event photography with a soft, diffused light that flatters subjects and eliminates harsh shadows.

The EZ Lock Wing-Like Parabolic Umbrella is not only durable but also boasts a convenient and easy-to-use locking mechanism, ensuring quick setup and breakdown, ideal for photographers on the go. Its versatile shape and size offer more coverage and control than traditional umbrellas, making it a perfect choice for photographers who work in varied environments, including small rooms with low ceilings or crowded spaces.

Crafted with a dynamic split-parabolic shape, this umbrella eliminates focus hot spots, providing even lighting that mimics the quality of window light. The dual-layer fabric construction allows for moderate specular highlights and the most saturated indirect lighting, ensuring sharp details in every shot. The white interior layer completely masks the silver backing and the umbrella's support spokes, ensuring they remain hidden from reflections on metallic objects and subject catchlights.

The Glow EZ Lock Wing-Like Umbrella's stylish design features a black opaque cover layer that limits light loss through its white fabric material, while the removable silver lining offers stronger focused lighting and soft shadow definition. This adaptability makes it suitable for a wide range of lighting scenarios, from high output and greater reach to softer, diffused lighting when the silver/black fabric layer is removed.

For photographers seeking a refined and professional lighting solution, the Glow EZ Lock Wing-Like 88" White Umbrella with Removable Silver/Black is an affordable choice that doesn't compromise on quality. Its sturdy build, resilient fabrics, and fiberglass frame ribs set a new standard for portable light control. Whether in a studio, on location, or at home, this umbrella is a space-saving powerhouse that provides unparalleled light shaping capabilities, making it the 'perfect' Glow parabolic umbrella in a modified package.
