Questions & Answers

CINDY S : Is a diffusion cover available for this umbrella (45")?
DAVID I : Can you use the 43" diffusion panel (wrap) for this? or no?
Shopper : Can this umbrella be used with a Nikon SB-700 or is it too big for the SB-700? Thanks.ESTEBAN H : You'll be fine, although you may have to put your flash at full power (1/1) and raise the ISO in you camera to get the desire light output.ERIC C : Yes, you can!BRUCE S : More speed-lights is always better but one SB-700 would do fine for indoors used in it's reflector mode, as a shoot through you would end up with a hotspot but the whole idea with an umbrella is to increase the size of your light source - 45" (hot-spot or not) is a nice size as a key-light for 2 to 3 people, . .PETER H : No idea. I'm a Canon user. Don't see why it wouldn't be the same.

Easy to setup and easy to put away. I have more expensive umbrellas that break easily when setting them up. These pop open and close easily and will last forever.

Doesn’t fit the Godox ad400pro, because of the shaft shape, but seems pretty well built.

Works Great

I used it recently in a family photo I took at night. I used two umbrella's and a camera mounted flash. There were 35 people who were lit well enough so that with Lightroom adjustments it came out great. Folds up nice and easy to carry with it plastic case.

Good quality umbrella

Just like all of my outdoor umbrellas, these took a couple falls on the first day of shooting. They are well built, and as far as I can tell they should stand up to a lot more falls! I have been using them as shoot through umbrellas, but I haven't tested them as bounce umbrellas yet. The black outer cloth is nice to have whether or not you use it for bounce because it helps to keep it clean. The umbrella came in a plastic sheath that makes for good storage.

Great all around modifier 45"

I've always been a fan of Westcott products. I purchased this particular size (45") because I find it to be universally well suited for use with monoblock lights like my Einsteins as well as my Nikon speedlights. I used this umbrella in concert with another and a beauty dish to light a large group of singers. With the umbrellas and lights positioned at the edge of the frame I was able to light the 75 performers on stage easily. I love the convertible nature of this umbrella making it even more useful to my work.

Exactly what you expect

Exactly what you expect with these umbrellas. I will say, the overall build is much better with the fiberglass over the traditional metal, which means it can take a hit better if it gets blown over by wind.

FEATURED REVIEWS

works great! versatile

By Valerie M.

This umbrella works great! I even had one of my strobes go out on me and this was all I used for a group of 9 in a small studio. -I love that I can use it as a shoot-through or a reflective umbrella! Nice LARGE size. Other review was correct, but all umbrellas are advertised like that. It is 60" including the arc not across.

Sharing My Opinion

By FineArtPhotographer

Westcott umbrellas seem to be sturdier and better built than its competitors, and umbrellas are more economical than softboxes. The shaft is stronger and I like the black coating over the shaft. They are professional looking and a good value for the price. I especially like the provision of the black cover used to reduce light spill. I can remove it, and cover the open end with a black material, using the umbrella as a shoot-through, and convert it into a makeshift softbox. Westcott umbrellas...

Why settle for anything less than professional-grade lighting control in your photography and videography projects Introducing the 45" Optical White Satin Umbrella with Removable Black Cover, a stylish and functional accessory that is essential for any serious photographer or videographer.

Crafted with a high-quality, durable fiberglass frame, this umbrella is designed to endure the rigors of both studio and on-location shoots. The flexible fiberglass ribs paired with a sturdy steel shaft ensure that this umbrella can withstand frequent use, making it a reliable choice for professionals.

The large 45-inch size of this umbrella provides extensive coverage, making it versatile enough to meet a wide range of lighting needs. Whether you're capturing portraits, group shots, or working on a video set, the expansive reach of this umbrella ensures that your subject is evenly lit with soft, flattering light.

The white interior of this umbrella is engineered for high reflectivity and diffusion. It softens and expands the light from your source, delivering a natural and gentle illumination that reduces harsh shadows and highlights. This feature is particularly beneficial for outdoor photography and videography, where bright or harsh lighting conditions can be challenging.

Moreover, the removable black cover adds another layer of versatility. When attached, it prevents light spill and directs the light more precisely onto your subject, offering you greater control over the lighting in your scene.

Mounting this umbrella is a breeze, thanks to its compatibility with most studio lights, which include a built-in umbrella receptacle. For those using speedlites, a variety of mounting brackets are available, many of which offer adjustable and tiltable options for precise light positioning.

Elevate your lighting setup with the 45" Optical White Satin Umbrella with Removable Black Cover. Its combination of style, durability, functionality, high-quality construction, and versatility makes it a standout choice for photographers and videographers aiming for perfection in their work.
