Westcott Umbrella

This umbrella uses optical white satin fabric to soften and broaden your light source. It creates a gentle, natural-looking wrap around your subject, which is ideal for portraits or product photography where you want to minimize harsh shadows.

This umbrella features a standard 8mm shaft with a 7mm tapered tip, making it compatible with most standard umbrella brackets and studio light mounts. It is rated for use with lights up to 300 watts.

The frame is built with fiberglass ribs, which offer significantly more durability and flexibility than standard metal ribs. This design helps the umbrella hold its shape better over time and resist bending or breaking during frequent setup and teardown.

Yes, it is designed for portability. When folded, it measures 22.5 inches in length and weighs just one pound, and it includes a protective PVC case to keep it safe during transport.

While it is primarily designed for studio use, its lightweight and quick-setup nature make it a convenient option for location shoots. Just be mindful that, like all umbrellas, it can catch the wind easily, so you will need a sturdy light stand and sandbags if you are working outdoors.
