Key Features
- Diffuser Turns Umbrella into a Softbox
- Fiberglass Frame
- 10 Panels Instead of 8
- Removable Black Backing
An umbrella that can be quickly transformed into a softbox, the 60" SoftLighter Umbrella with Removable 8mm Shaft from Photek is built on a redesigned classic umbrella with a fiberglass frame and white reflective fabric that is free from contaminates that might add an unwanted color cast to your light output. The unique modifier includes a diffuser that fits tightly over the open side of the umbrella and accepts flash heads 7.25" or less in diameter - instant softbox! The combination of the light bouncing off the umbrella and through the diffuser yields a soft, flattering quality of light and since closer is softer, a portion of the shaft is removable so that you can work closer to your subject.

do you need a reflector head on on the strobe with the softlighter? do you need a reflector head on the strobe with the softlighter? A youtuber says you do, but I don't see which one to buy for a profoto D2
Not for a Profoto D or B series with a "built in" reflector. On profoto pro heads or other strobe you may. Not these.

how does the 8mm shaft remove?
how does the 8mm shaft remove?
About 18'' of the end of the shaft just un screws so you can get the Softlighter closer to your subject and the shaft will not be in the image.

Does the 60" comes with the gold and silver inner reflectors? I got both the 46 and 60, however my 46" only has the reflectors. Just wondering if I've possibly misplaced them, or maybe they don't come with it.
On this umbrella the Interior Color is White

Does it fit on elinchrom dlight?
The Photek SoftLighter Umbrella with Removable 7mm and 8mm Shafts (60"), BH # PHSL6000FGS with the 7mm shaft installed would be better suited for the umbrella slot on the Elinchrom DLite series monolights.
