Photoflex UM-RUT60 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 3 person full length shot, or a 4x8 size still-life setup.

Fabrics are color balanced to all Photoflex soft boxes, panels and discs.
Black backing is removeable, for a different lighting technique.

Photoflex UM-RUT60 Reviews

Umbrella is great, plastic sheath is junk

By Casey
Rated 4 out of 5

Would be 5 stars if these came in a carrying case that held up at all. I prefer to keep my gear protected so that it lasts me a long while and the case for these is not conducive to that. The collar for the flap at the opening of the plastic sheath has already broken after just 3-4 uses. But umbrella itself is great. I work with another photographer who has had his for probably a decade or more and they have held up well.

Great umbrellas

If you're looking for a great umbrella for photography, this is the one. Natural neutral color, great build quality, fiberglass ribs for flexibility and durability and transforms into a shoot through. The 60 is great for about everything.

What is the shaft diameter? Will this fit Elinchrom flash heads?
Asked by: Leonil
The Photoflex umbrella has a solid metal shaft that measures 8mm in diameter according to my calipers. Not sure which flash head you have in mind, but you could compare the specs of an Elinchom umbrella to this one to see if they are the same in diameter.
