question
Two questions here. I work in a studio setting with 500 W daylight bulbs. Will this stand the high heat generated by the bulbs? Also, with the light be distributed enough to light an entire person, standing, or objects the size of a car if I use two units?
Hi Rebecca. I use profoto D1 and B1 strobes versus continuous light. So, I'm not sure the heat rating of this umbrella. If you're shooting with fluorescent or LED lights, I would guess you'll be ok. If you're using anything that generates a lot of heat, I'd check with the manufacturer for what it can handle regarding heat. As far as coverage, I use this all the time for large groups as my fill light and it works great. You get a lot of diffusion for the price.

question
Is this gonna fit my elinchrom strobes?
Yes the umbrella will fit your strobes. I use the umbrella on my studio strobes and my mono lights on location. The size of the shaft should fit many different brands of strobes. Make sure you have a good stand to support the weight.

question
Whats the most durable tiltable mounting bracket to use this on?
This is a great umbrella...it's heavy for the lighter weight brackets. I use it with Profoto D1 Strobes, which hold it well. I'd suggest a heavy duty bracket for it. You'll be disappointed if you cut corners on a light duty one
