question

will this work well with godox AD360 ii?
Asked by: Christian
I have used the Deep with an AD360 with tremendous results. Add the diffusion front for expanding the versatility.

question

On the Westcott website it states that the maximum wattage is 300 for this umbrella. If I use a 600W strobe at full power will this damage the umbrella?
Asked by: Anthony
Anthony,The Wattage rating is for continuous lighting. Strobes are rated in Watt-Seconds. Your Strobe will work fine with the Umbrella.

question

will this be a good size for group pictures?
Asked by: Christian
One deep silver umbrellas by itself may not be the best choice for a large group due to its more focused light. Many including Photographer Bob Davis will use it effectively, feathering the light and combining it with an additional fill (Deep White). Adding the optional diffusion front will also spread the light more evenly but will also reduce the output of your light.

question

Will this work with the new b1x?
Asked by: J
Josue,Fit is no problem. Personal preference would be to add the profoto glass dome and spill kill reflector to spread the light or consider the white version for a more diffused light.
