Photoflex UM-ADH45 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 lightbox.

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.

Fabrics are color balanced to all Photoflex soft boxes, panels and discs.
Adjust the shape of the highlight and the light coverage from round, to square to rectangular.
This size is perfect for a 1-2 person head, or head-to-waist shot, or a 4x6 ft product setup.

Photoflex UM-ADH45 Reviews

'black backing' is misleading, but a quality product nonethe

the listing says these are hot silver with black backing . This indicated to me that there is a black backing fabric, which backs the silver fabric, and creates the most sufficient trap for the light to not travel through the backside. The photoflex website also says These reflective umbrellas have an opaque black backing that will not allow light spill.  and that it is triple laminated. I cant tell where or how the triple lamination is incorporated. It is not two fabrics layered on top of each other. It is one fabric with the silver integrated (glued?) onto the black. The umbrellas are strong and well built .I have not done any stop tests to see how much stronger they are than my previous silver cheap umbrellas, but I do believe they are stronger. Overall I am pleased with their results, I just wish there were some with another backing behind the silver to make a truly opaque result on the black side.

Haven't used it yet, thinking it would be a bit more soft silver. Once I use it I will update.

question

Would this be a good umbrella for a photo booth set up? I'd use with my canon 580EX strobe.

It should work very well. I use this umbrella with a homemade bracket for three SB-910 strobes. I am pleased with the results and quality of the umbrella.
