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.

Does what it's supposed to do, nice soft light.

Great quality for low price.

This umbrella is very straight forward. No clear spots, folds well, and diffuses light pleasingly. It’s so much easier to put up this umbrella than hang a 4x4 on a separate stand for interviews. I’m very happy with this purchase.
