Upgrade your on-camera speedlight to a large, off-camera light source with this Impact Umbrella Flash Kit from B&H. It features a 45" convertible umbrella, an umbrella back with adjustable shoe and an air-cushioned light stand to get everything set up. The umbrella is extremely versatile as it offers a white satin fabric that can be used for shoot-through diffusion or a removable black backing to change it to bounce lighting.

This aluminum Impact Air-Cushioned Light Stand rises to a height of 8' and folds down to 29.6". The stand has sure-twist section locks and 4 sections and will support up to 8 lb.
If you forget to tighten any section with your light mounted, the light slowly descends, thanks to the air-cushioned action. This useful feature saves equipment and fingers from harm during busy photo sessions.

Impact Convertible Umbrella - White Satin with Removable Black Backing - 45"
This is an Impact 45" white satin umbrella with removable black backing. Umbrellas soften, broaden, and diminish the light output of any 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 - 2 person half-length portrait, or a 3x4 ft product setup.
