Westcott Apollo Deep Umbrella (White, 53")

Employing a distinct design, the 53" Apollo Deep Umbrella from Westcott combines a soft quality of light with control over the output which is exceptional for an umbrella modifier. The depth of the light-shaper "focuses" the light, so while it disperses it like other umbrellas do, it also has a sharper cut-off. It provides control over where the light falls and maximizes output, making it suitable for long throw work. Unlike rectangular softboxes, the Apollo provides the benefit of natural-looking catchlights in the eyes of your subject. Made to last, the Apollo has 16 durable fiberglass ribs and a dual-walled 8mm metal shaft that fits nearly all flash heads, and it fits speedlights using a separately purchased swivel stand mount with an umbrella receptacle.
