Review Summary

Rated 5 out of 5

Dependable modifier, beautiful light

Beautiful quality of light, easy to set up and break down, high quality materials. It?s my go-to for many lit location portraits now. I used to borrow one from a friend, and that convinced me to buy one for myself. I use it with an Einstein or a Honey Badger, but it will work with basically anything (though I don?t recommend this for small flashes).

Works as designed

Great portable modifier, providing an extremely easy way to make soft light. Have used with a speed light (on an S-Bracket) and with an AD400 Pro.

Great for Soft-light!

It is my favorite of all the light modifiers I own. I recently trying to create more Fine Art photos and having this umbrella is a must I think.

You get what you pay for

Give a nice soft even light. Easy to transport and use. Build quality is ok,one of the tips that hold the material to the rib has already come off. Good for the money.

Great Soft Light

I got the 60" Easy set-up, seems to have a decent build quality and the light is fantastic. Great large modifier for a pretty reasonable price.

Enhance your photography sessions with the Photek SoftLighter II 60" White Umbrella, a premium lighting accessory designed to optimize your lighting setup. This large, high-quality umbrella is engineered to take light from your strobe head or monolight, reflect it into its white panels, and then soften it again with a diffuser on its way out, creating a beautifully diffused, soft light that's perfect for both portrait and product photography.

With its generous 60" size, the SoftLighter II is ideal for full-length portraits of 1-2 people or for setting up a 4x5 ft product shoot. It's capable of illuminating a 20 sq ft area, offering you ample coverage for your photography needs. Please note that this size does not include the gold and silver discs.

The SoftLighter II is designed for use with shoe mount flash units, which can be easily mounted with a shoe mount light stand/umbrella adapter (not included). To ensure optimal performance, shoe mount flash units should be set to Manual mode, as the entire flash will be inside the umbrella. If your flash unit is equipped with a remote sensor, this may not be necessary.

Please note that the SoftLighter II is intended for strobe use only and is not suitable for use with hot lights or modeling lights over 250 watts. This durable, portable, and easy-to-setup umbrella is a valuable addition to any photographer's toolkit, enhancing the quality of light and adding a professional touch to your photos.
