This is a great product to add to the array of Lowell lights. The only drawback is the easy tearing of the material. When used as often as we use them, they get worn badly around the tips of the rods causing them to eventually tear when opening or sliding into the plastic protective cover. Might could be strengthened at those areas for increased life.

It does what it does
I use both the silver and soft white umbrella. Great for close-ups.
Much like a real umbrella, the frame isn't bulletproof and if not cared for, it will bend easily.

Comments about Lowel Tota-Brella - Silver - 27":
I just purchased a Tota-Brella (Silver, 27" from Lowell) through B&H online.
The 'Brella is an economical and effective means to throw strong, soft light for video or even basic stills. I like it as it provides a great option when I don't want or can't use direct lighting.
It's durable and compact, and great for general use, usually medium and tighter shots. I imagine one could use several on several lights at once to do some quick lighting for a wider shot.
Overall, if you already own Lowell lights, I recommend the Tota-Brella.

Comments about Lowel Tota-Brella - Silver - 27":
I got this umbrella as a replacement for one that was lost. I think these cost a little more than they should, but most film equipment does. It's also a bit more frail than I'd like it to be.
Umbrella works fine. I got the silver instead of the white, thinking it would through more (and less diffuse) light.

It works well for the light purposes but the metal skeleton is pretty light weight and can get damaged or broken easily. Use with care and this product will work well for you.
