Westcott Umbrella

The deeper shape allows you to focus the light more precisely, giving you greater directional control. This results in soft shadows with more defined, crisp edges, which is ideal for portraiture where you want to highlight facial features without harshness.

This umbrella features a standard 8mm shaft, making it compatible with most studio strobes and speedlights that have an umbrella mount. It is rated for use with lights up to 300 watts.

Yes, it is designed specifically for portability. It collapses down to 20 inches and weighs only 0.5 pounds, allowing it to fit easily into most standard camera bags.

While the white interior naturally produces a soft contrast, you can achieve a softer, more wrapped light quality by purchasing the optional diffuser cover separately. This effectively turns the umbrella into a portable softbox.

The umbrella is built with 8 fiberglass ribs, which are chosen for their flexibility and strength. This construction helps the umbrella maintain its shape over time, even with frequent setup and breakdown.

You should avoid using any cleaning agents on the reflective surface, as they can damage the material. If you need to clean the umbrella, stick to gently wiping it with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
