Photoflex UM-RUT30 Overview

Umbrellas soften, broaden, and diminish the light output of any tungsten or flash light source. Umbrellas with a white interior will soften and weaken light more than an umbrella with a silver lining. A white umbrella without a black backing may also be used as a makeshift softbox, although the use of the light will not be as efficient as with a softbox.

Choosing umbrella size is determined by the size of the subject, and the strength of the light supply being used. Choosing an umbrella surface is as subjective as choosing a paint and brush.

This size is perfect for a 1 person head shot, or 3x4 ft product setup.

Fabrics are color balanced to all Photoflex soft boxes, panels and discs.
Removeable black backing provides an additional lighting technique.

High Quality

Very well made - well designed and made of quality materials. I feel it's worth the higher price over the Impact umbrellas.

Just what I was looking for!

question

Is the end tapered? Will it work with Elinchrom Ranger?
Asked by: Cameron
No, it is not. Best is to use an umbrella that has a 7mm shaft not 8mm.The only one that is white with a removable black has also a front cover option. It is great as it can be used like a softbox if you want to.It is Photek Umbrella - Softlighter II with 7mm Shaft - 36 B&H # PHSL40S MFR # SL-4000-S

What is the shaft diameter and the folded length of the umbrella ?
