Make your photography stand out with the Westcott 7 Feet Parabolic Umbrella, a professional-grade lighting accessory designed to deliver superior control over your lighting conditions. This high-quality umbrella features a broad light source that expertly wraps light around your subject, producing clean highlights and rich, open shadows. Thanks to its unique parabolic shape, this umbrella offers a perfect blend of soft, enveloping light and the crisp detail typically achieved with reflectors. The umbrella's innovative design also sets it apart. Its shaft is double-walled for enhanced strength, tapering to 7mm to accommodate Elinchrom and other European flash heads. Unlike traditional models with bendable metal, this umbrella boasts 16 inner ribs constructed from durable fiberglass, ensuring longevity and consistent performance. The fixed black backing guarantees that all light output is directed on your subject, not wasted through the umbrella. The Westcott 7 Feet Parabolic Umbrella also offers versatility. By adjusting the light-to-umbrella distance along the shaft, you can modify the hardness or softness of the light or increase the distance throw. This stylish, black and white umbrella is not only a durable and long-lasting choice but also a versatile tool for a wide range of photography and videography needs. With the Westcott 7 Feet Parabolic Umbrella, less is indeed more, as you gain more control over your lighting with less equipment.

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.

Weak clasp makes it unusable / unreliable.

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.

A must have for me

Great umbrella i use this in my studio and clients homes all the time to add just that perfect amount of soft light to photos in a dim room!

Wonderful Product wonderful company to purchase any of your photos needs from!

Good for large groups

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.

Size matters

Excellent results. Gives a smooth lighting, especially when taking group shots. Strong build quality.

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.

Great umbrella

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.

Pretty fragile.

Really great product - especially for the price.

Great Big Studio Umbrella

Beautiful Light

Very glad I went for this one and not cheaper ones. The material is pretty sturdy and durable. I can definitely see getting lots of years of use out of this umbrella.

Heavy duty, durable, long lasting

I love this thing. Its easy and portable.!

Should have bought it long ago.

Excellent design and materials. Creates large soft lighting. I absolutely love it. In fact, I now own three.

Large soft light.

Good quality

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

Just get it

I have other Westcott Umbrellas but this was a needed addition. It gives me a look when I’m shooting portraits or just need something that will cover almost everything.

Truly needed!

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 only one I use now

Easy to setup.  Still learning to master them. Love the soft light for small group shots.  Lucky for me I have a day job.

Size does matter

Great umbrella.  It's big to be manage by one person ,however with the stand it's great for outdoors.

Great Modifier

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.

The shaft is very weak.

Real nice and soft light. Umbrella is sturdy and fits well in my Alien bee b1600

Nice

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.

Umbrella good, case bad

I love the items that I got but I wish the box wasn't already open.

Westcott Umbrella

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.

Diffusion lighting for full length portraits

These are awesome... Beautiful interesting light and a great sun scrim for those of us who shoot by ourselves mostly

Love them

amazing light modifier, would buy it again . i would recommend this product from beginner to pro photographer

Westcott 7 Feet Silver Parabolic Umbrella

I'm impressed with the quality of this product. If you are a photographer I tell you you need this! I also purchased a Impact 7' Parabolic Umbrella Diffuser with it and it fits perfectly.

Satisfied

This is my biggest light modifier so far and I love working with it in my Studio as well as outdoors. The umbrellas are fast to open and ready to use and so easy to bring on location. I use them with both of my Elinchromes, as well as my speedlights.

Very well made and very easy and fast to use.

These are BIG and pretty useful but they can be a bit harsh. Thy are a wind sail outside. That being said they are great for umbrellas and easy to tote and setup.

Pretty nice for umbrellas

Loved the quality of light this umbrella created. Brought my imagery to another level. I bought this with the white cover. For the price, I wish I had bought this sooner. I can't believe what a difference this made for my studio. I will use this for every session from now on.
