Make your photography stand out with the Westcott 7 Feet Parabolic Umbrella, a professional-grade lighting accessory designed to deliver superior control over your lighting conditions. This high-quality umbrella features a broad light source that expertly wraps light around your subject, producing clean highlights and rich, open shadows. Thanks to its unique parabolic shape, this umbrella offers a perfect blend of soft, enveloping light and the crisp detail typically achieved with reflectors. The umbrella's innovative design also sets it apart. Its shaft is double-walled for enhanced strength, tapering to 7mm to accommodate Elinchrom and other European flash heads. Unlike traditional models with bendable metal, this umbrella boasts 16 inner ribs constructed from durable fiberglass, ensuring longevity and consistent performance. The fixed black backing guarantees that all light output is directed on your subject, not wasted through the umbrella.
