Shopper : what sze diffuser should i buy for this?JERRY W : Westscott makes a diffuser specifically for this umbrella. There is a center hole with a sock and cinch tie that goes around the nose of the flash, since the flash points in to the umbrella. I have two of the diffusers and three of the umbrellas; they work well. The easy way to put the diffuser on is to place it over the collapsed umbrella and open the umbrella into it. Boom, it’s in place.chris b : The one made for it seems to work really well. 4631D Parabolic Front diffusion panel Paired with the 7' Silver Parabolic Umbrella, this front diffusion panel accessory will give the effect of a large octabank producing a high output light source. Ideal when using strobe style lights.

Rated 2 out of 5

Weak clasp makes it unusable / unreliable.

I used the previous model for several years. However, the clasp has been changed that holds the umbrella when fully extended. The change would be wonderful if it worked, but the new clasp relies on the tension of a small sprint to stay deployed with no physical wedge to force the center to stay on the center pole. The moment that small spring is overwhelmed, the umbrella completely collapses. Mine would only stay extended a few seconds before failing. I suspect other umbrellas might do better, but that spring is going to wear down and the umbrella will be completely unusable without a bungee cord to use as a back up.

A must have for me

Great options for modifying your light. I use these regularly at every photoshoot I have. I wish the middle rod wasn't so light as I have already had to replace 2 umbrellas.

Size matters

Why I purchase an umbrella? I am lazy and I got tired of fighting to assemble the conventional meduim and large dish reflectors. Bending rods, taking so much time to build and take apart. If I needed to work out that much I would hit the gym. Great idea, if you are only going to that once and put it away but not so great if you shoot on location and don't have any time to waste. That and they are expensive. Why did I purchase particular umbrella kit? I never shoot without a backup and the large diameter provides a wrap around light source. The large size results in a nice single light source and next to no shadows behind the subject. Reflection on glasses is also reduced quite a bit and with just a slight turn of the head nearly gone. Good for single and small group shots. Disadvantages? The size which give you great wrap around lighting need a high ceiling. Typical indoor ceilings are around eight feet. This does not allow me much flexibility and pretty much have to use it as is straight on. Which has worked out so far, except when I want to bring the umbrella and shoot down on the subject, like for kids and babies on the floor. Recommendations? Take note of the size and the use of a stand, given your ceiling in your shooting location(s). Also this umbrella is strictly indoors. Any wind will knock it over. That and someone walking into it. Hence the need for a backup, which is provided in the kit. I have the pull over diffusion screen but so far have not required, as the umbrella provides a soft enough light for me. But would recommend it since it might be necessary for the silver finish umbrella.

Great umbrella

Love 7 feet umbrella, beautiful light, I use it a lot. The umbrella is convenient both in the studio and when shooting at the client's location. I also recommend purchasing a diffuser for softer light. This is the second umbrella, the first one was accidentally broken by very active children who turned the stand upside down by accident. Everything went well, no one was hurt and even the lamp was saved, but several of the spokes of the umbrella and the base of the umbrella caved in. I couldn't fix the damage. It was only once in five years of using the umbrella that something broke. I bought the same umbrella. Love it.

Pretty fragile.

Bought this kit. These umbrellas are more fragile then they should be. 1 broke after being used twice. I have Cheetahstand and Buff PLM umbrellas which are way above the the build and quality wise.

The only one I use now

This is my go to umbrella for the subjects when I am shooting indoors and that I am only using a single light source. I do not think I would take it outdoors without assistants holding it down.

The shaft is very weak.

As others have said, this is a great modifier and gives beautiful softness, especially with the optional diffuser. The problem is the shaft and it's weakness. I have gone through 4 of these umbrellas and the slightest puff of wind will knock them over, even when the stand is weighted with three bags full of river rock and the stand legs (Manfrotto Master stand) spread as far apart as possible. If you have a studio, they are fine, but the shaft still flexes terribly under the weight of this umbrella. Unfortunately, after spending $ on these and having them all break, I cannot recommend them for ANY outdoor work. Better to get a large modifier that has a Bowens mount.

Umbrella good, case bad

I would have given this 5 stars but the only problem I have with this is the case it came in. The umbrella is fantastic however the case is way too thin for how heavy this umbrella is. The case is very poorly constructed. The whole top portion of it is shredded because the stitching came apart so easily and I’ve only used it once.

Diffusion lighting for full length portraits

When it comes to spreading light evenly for full-length portraits this is one of the best ways I have been able to achieve it. I find it a little more time setting up, but once it is in a position you can shoot individuals or small groups. This is great on location for special events (black tie, wedding & birthday). I would recommend to family & friends.

Great, and big, umbrella

By CHRISTOPHER M.

This thing is big. I'm currently working with 8' ceilings, but I'm still happy with this. It'd be ideal to have 10' or 12' ceilings so I can raise the light up a bit. I would definitely recommend you get the big shower cap/diffuser to go with this - otherwise you're not going to be getting light out of the full 7' (it'll be more in the center where the strobe is hitting the umbrella). Here is the diffuser at Adorama: http://www.adorama.com/WE4631D.html (Westcott SKU# 4631D).

You know what this is and yes its totally worth the cost.

Find the perfect balance of illumination and detail with the Westcott 7' Parabolic Umbrella, a professional-grade lighting modifier designed for discerning photographers and videographers. This expansive 84-inch umbrella is crafted to envelop your subjects in a broad light source, yielding clean highlights and rich, open shadows that flatter your subjects with a natural look.

The white interior of this versatile umbrella diffuses light to produce a soft, yet detailed quality that mimics natural lighting, making it an ideal choice for outdoor shoots. Its parabolic shape enhances the light's wraparound effect, ensuring an even distribution that combines the softness of diffused light with the directional control and crispness typically found in reflectors.

Structurally, the Westcott 7' Parabolic Umbrella is engineered for durability and ease of use. The double-walled shaft provides robust support and is tapered to a 7mm tip, making it compatible with Elinchrom and other European flash heads. The 16 inner ribs are constructed from durable fiberglass, preventing bending and maintaining the umbrella's shape under stress.

The fixed black backing of the umbrella is a stylish and functional feature, ensuring that all light is directed towards your subject rather than lost through the material. This design choice contributes to the efficiency of light usage and the control over your lighting environment.

For added versatility, you can adjust the light-to-umbrella distance along the shaft, allowing you to fine-tune the hardness or softness of the light, as well as control the throw distance for specific photographic needs.

Choose the Westcott 7' Parabolic Umbrella for a high-quality, stylish, and adaptable lighting solution that brings a professional edge to your photography and videography projects. With this parabolic umbrella, less is indeed more - more control, more quality, and more beautiful, natural-looking light.
