Impact White Satin Umbrella (45")
Key Features
  • 8 Aluminum Ribs
  • White Satin Fabric
  • Broad Coverage
  • 8mm Shaft
This White Satin Umbrella from Impact measures 45" in diameter and is made of a white satin fabric to soften, broaden, and diminish the light output of a flash, LED, or fluorescent light source. It will provide softer contrast and reduce the light output more than an umbrella with a silver lining. It may be used as a reflective umbrella for portrait and wedding photography because it delivers a soft, indirect light with a wide throw that envelops your subject and decreases contrast. When used as a shoot-through umbrella, it broadens and softens the light from a light source and minimizes shadows. It has a standard size 8mm umbrella shaft that is compatible with most umbrella mounts.

Impact UBW45 Reviews

price is right

A 45 basic white umbrella for this price is nuts. Seems at least as good as Photoflex. The tip is metal so hopefully very durable. Works for me!

Not as advertised!

I agree 100% with everything this other B&H customer posted about this same umbrella! Buyer Beware! Today is Sunday February 5th, 2023. See attached pic! This umbrella is not soft white but rather very shiny and satin. The photo shows an almost matte white umbrella whereas this one is very shiny. They also changed the design and B&H says it is still the correct item but it has been updated. The ribs are not made of metal, they look like plastic now. Typically they state when an umbrella is satin instead if matte/soft white and it is not indicated here at the time of this review. Not happy as I might as well be using a silver reflective umbrella as this is nearly the same. This will not give you soft white diffusion. It will be more intense due to its shiny characteristics.

Super!
