The 72" Umbrella Black Panel Umbrella Cover from Photoflex is a soft light accessory that allows you create a light modifier similar to a softbox from a 72" white translucent shoot-through Photoflex or similar umbrella. With your flash head mounted through the opening, the black fabric slips easily over the open side of the umbrella, containing the bounced spill light so that all the light travels forward. You then point the convex side of the umbrella at your subject as you normally do in shoot-through mode.

Reduces stray light

By Bruce
Rated 5 out of 5

Panel is well made. Inside surface is silver so previously stray light is now bounced back towards subject. Bought the black panel for a 72-inch shoot-through umbrella to use indoors. Without the panel, I was basically lighting up the whole room with flash. While not as precise as a softbox, light is now directed towards the subject.

Will this fit a 7 ft Westcott shoot through umbrella?
Asked by: Dave
The Photoflex Black Panel Umbrella Cover (72") has not been tested with the Westcott 7 Foot Parabolic Umbrella to our knowledge. The results may vary when using them together.
