Questions & Answers

Liana M : Does this umbrella for the Orlit 610?ANDREW R : Fits equipment that is compatible with 7mm umbrella shafts. Not specific to any one make or model.
Nikhil S : Does this work for hot-shoe flashes off camera or only studio strobes?RICHARD A : This umbrella has a standard size shaft. If you have an umbrella mount with a hot (or cold) shoe attachment, it will fit in fine.DIANE O : Yes it works for any light source. However, you must also purchase a light-stand/hot-shoe adapter to both attach the umbrella and hot-shoe flash. From, Dave OffuttNikhil S : Andra, are you happy with the results you're getting with this umbrella and the 580 exII? Would you recommend it for use with speedlites?Nikhil S : Perfect. Thank you Andra!ANDRA E : I have used my Canon Speedlite 580 ex II flash with the product in question. I have not used this item with the more expensive studio strobes, however, in my research (prior to purchasing 7' Parabolic Umbrella) I did notice some studio setups that used studio strobes with this item. My professional/technical knowledge would lead me to believe that "yes" you definitely can use the 7' Parabolic Umbrella in either case. Hope this is of value in your research efforts. Andra

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.

Great difuser

We live and work in sunny Phoenix, this product is so good for diffusing or as a shoot thru. For the price it highly versatile and easily transportable.

So, I guess I'll buy it again....

I use this mainly to diffuse the light outdoors. I have purchased this item multiple times and it is not very sturdy. Wish they would come out with one that would hold up. I purchased a Westcott probably 6 years ago and it was awesome but finally had to be replaced. The replacements have been horrible. This is #3 in a year. Very disappointed, but need something this big!!

Works well provides large diffuse source

A lot to like about this product so will just generally say there are two small issues: 1) the umbrella itself places a lot of strain on the umbrella shaft, to the point where there is a clear bend in the shaft when using on my Alien Bees strobes. Not a huge deal but do need to compensate by angling the strobe head appropriately. 2) not sure if the color of the umbrella fabric is neutral. All modifiers to some extent affect the color of the light given off by your strobe. A custom white balance corrects that and should always be done. But to my eye, the fabric of the umbrella seems to have a slight yellow tint rather than pure white. Again, not a deal breaker but something to be aware of.

7ft Westcott umbrella

Great product. Produce beautiful soft wrapping light. Great in a studio and outdoor as well. You will need sturdy stand and if use outdoor en sand bags. No problems so far. Would buy it again. I have all three of them (white and silver as well)

When there is no space for a softbox....

The spines are really long and tend to get tangled. Also I have no idea how one would clean it so keeping messy models away from it is a good idea. Great light off it from my profoto D500s, no complaints that way.

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.

If you're seeking to soften and broaden your lighting for photography, the 7 Feet White Diffusion Parabolic Umbrella is an essential tool for both studio and on-location work. Ideal for portrait photographers and videographers alike, this expansive umbrella ensures even, natural-looking light, whether you're capturing senior portraits, couple sessions, or any subject requiring a gentle illumination.

Crafted with a robust fiberglass composite, the frame surpasses the usual steel or aluminum options in both strength and resilience, ensuring longevity and consistent performance. The umbrella's design features a thickened custom center shaft, engineered for enhanced stability and durability, which can withstand the rigors of frequent use.

The 7mm tapered tip at the end of the shaft is thoughtfully designed to fit seamlessly into a wide array of lighting equipment, making this umbrella a versatile addition to your gear. Whether you're working with strobes, monolights, or continuous lighting sources, the integration is effortless.

For photographers on the move, especially those working in bright, sunny environments like Phoenix, this diffusion umbrella is not only effective in softening harsh sunlight but also doubles as a shoot-through modifier. Its portability is further enhanced by the inclusion of a heavy-duty nylon carry case, complete with a shoulder strap for ease of transport. The umbrella also arrives in a protective tube, ensuring it remains in pristine condition during travel and storage.

With its combination of practical design, durable construction, and versatile functionality, the 7 Feet White Diffusion Parabolic Umbrella represents great value for photographers looking to elevate their lighting setup.
