Perfect Diffuser for my umbrella i purchased! Easy to install from the video Adorama put on the post for this item!

Great Diffuser and video put into this order was perfect for installation.

The diffusion does great and is not hard to put on the umbrella.

Gets the job done.

Well made, definitely not the cheap material from others. It is still plastic so creases will never leave if you open and fold back down every time, so if that bothers you maybe get cloth. It's light and easy to install.

Light, easy to install durable.

love it

Westcott 4631D Umbrella Diffuser for Parabolic Umbrella is an essential part of the setup if you are looking for more soft, defused light. I used it on my 7' Westcott umbrella (white) for headshots and couldn't be happier with the results. The only thing I wish was added to the package is a pouch to keep the diffuser in to prevent it from getting dirty when in storage or transfer.

Great diffuser for Westcott 7' parabolic umbrella

A necessary addition for the 7ft westcott parabolic

Just get it

Easy to use and ads perfect diffusion. For a soft box without the soft box!

Great Diffusion

This is a very nice panel that is well-made and well-fitted to the umbrella - reasonably priced. Great way to get an inexpensive large "soft box" setup.

Nice panel, durable

gets the job done real nice and soft like.

If you're getting the umbrella, get the sock!

Good quality diffuser

Well made. Easy to set up and gives off great soft light because of its size.

Nice Umbrella

This is my go-to Large umbrella for a lot of my lighting setups.  Its very versatile, I use it for portraits to recreate window light and also for a lot of product photography as well.  Its portable, light weight, and looks amazingly different with this diffuser.

Great Diffuser for a great umbrella

If you are looking for something to control the spectral highlights and create a softer look here is a simple solution to a major issue. Does amazing work.

A low budget answer to some hi end results

I use in conjunction w/ Westcott's 7' silver parabolic, which is quite punchy.  This diffuser really knocks down the specularity of the umbrella and creates very soft light.  A must-have adjunct to this light shaper.

Very effective

i found the fabric is not the one on the picture, i seems a little generic for me, also, its like it is for a bigger umbrella because it doesnt fit very tight, its not too big, but still makes that impresion once you have set up. one more thing, i feel the one time i have used it, it makes a hot spot on the centre of it when lightning my

a bit large

I have used a 5ft octobox for many years but the set up time can take several minutes. I have use my 7ft Westcott umbrella on many occasions but pairing it with the westcott diffuser provide a wonderful soft  BIG light and the set up time takes only seconds. Now they just need to create a soft grid that I could uses well. The cost of the umbrella and the diffuser are so inexpensive that it is a no brainer! great job Westcott!

New Favorite Light Modifier

This is a simple device, but it has to fit properly to be useful, and it does just that. Some tips, place the diffuser over your mounted strobe first so the light stand column and strobe stick through the hole in the diffuser. Then mount the umbrella followed by fitting the diffuser to the umbrella, rotating as needed. It is easier than trying to put the diffuser on the umbrella first, especially by yourself, and helps keep the diffuser and umbrella off the floor/ground keeping them clean. For speed lights it can be better to mount the lights directly to the umbrella shaft rather than to the light stand swivel mount. This works well with the triple speed light mounts with the speed lights going between the umbrella and the swivel mount. Add a small counterweight on the far end of the umbrella shaft. Use a heavy duty metal swivel mount as this modifier is too heavy and large for plastic mounts. Some strobe mounts are too flimsy for this umbrella in which case the strobe is hung from the umbrella shaft and the shaft attached to the light stand with a separate heavy duty metal swivel mount. Forget outdoor use unless zero wind and with an assistant to guard/hold the umbrella/light stand. Sandbagging the stand will not be enough even in a light breeze.

Fits well

This set up gives you the quality of a huge soft box at much less cost.  Though designed for the Westcott 7' umbrellas, it also fits perfectly on my generic brand 6' umbrella.
I'm using it with a silver umbrella to photograph group portraits, as well as full-length portraits of brides, etc. where I need broad, soft and even coverage over the whole frame. With the silver umbrella it gives more contrast than a white or translucent while still being soft. 
Like the description says, it functions like an Octabank at a fraction of the cost.  As a professional photographer, I've used Westcott products for decades, and this is absolutely professional quality.

Inexpensive way to create a huge softbox

I invested in the Westcott Diffusion Panel to get the professional large soft octabox look and the price of this item fit into my budget.  I have used the product in an immediate shoot once I received it and I was very happy with the quality of light produced.
