Questions & Answers

Can you tell me the purpose of the umbrella or if it is just fabric?

This fabric is all there is

I want to turn my Westcott Parabolic 7ft into a brolly, so is this basically a measure of fabric that will fit around the underside of it?

It's almost there. The fabric diffuser covers most of the parabolic to make it look more like a picture box. In particular, it works well if you have the silver or white parabolics, not the shoot throughs.

Do you think this item may be used as a parabolic umbrella for the Impact 7' ?

do not see any reason why you cannot do so. My umbrella is just what I need. I can do wedding portraits with it, but I often use it with a diffuser cover to soften it further.

Is there a way to clean this in a washing machine? Also, where do I dry it?

You might want to take a look at their website, but I doubt it. If I find any dust or dirt, I normally use a damp sponge to get it off.

Adding a great modifier to an already great one
5/5

Parabolic umbrella with a height of 7 feet is a great choice. Both of my Westcott 7 foot umbrellas (one of which is black and the other silver) came with a matching Westcott umbrella. There will be a loss of light, but your umbrella will transform into a massive soft box with the cover. In the center of the diffusion cover, there is an opening wide enough to enable my Alien Bees to pass. An easy tip for mounting the cover is as follows If you have an umbrella that is opened and mounted, don't try to mount it on it (your arms will not be long enough). Take a closed umbrella instead and place it through the opening of the diffusion cover while pointing the umbrella tip down. If the umbrella is closed, the elastic band will be even pressured on all sixteen sides of the umbrella as it opens, and the cover will be taut on all sides when it is locked open.

You can turn an umbrella into a big soft box by doing this
5/5

Westcott's 7' white reflective umbrella has been in my possession for a while, but I have not used it often. an umbrella that has a white front diffusion fabric, this umbrella becomes something quite different and has become of favorite modifiers. This umbrella acts as a 7 foot round softbox and emits soft light on anything that is in its path. I find it to be If you already have or are planning to have a Westcott 7' reflective umbrella, you may want one of these as well.

My toolkit just got a whole lot better with this one
5/5

The velour sail is enormous so both a plus and a negative for me. I regularly take portraits on the beach and it is a sail in the slightest breeze. I don't see any way to secure it to the umbrella, so it gets pulled off right away. A great way to add a new look to your images quickly if you are indoors, especially if you don't have a lot of time to setup.

There are pictures on my computer
5/5

Could you please tell me why my pictures cannot be uploaded? An umbrella diffuser of this quality is a good choice. This is a good idea. Let me know when I have the opportunity to show it to you. It looks like Amazon is currently in apocalyptic mode, so we'll have to wait until we've all been liberated from bartertown,.

This is an excellent camera for portraits
5/5

For those of you who haven't tried this, I can only say that it dispersed and softened the light without necessarily losing very much.

It seems to work fine
3/5

You can think of it as your typical diffusion cover. As far as I can tell, this works fine. You could think of it as your average diffusion cover. You just need to make sure that you place the diffusion material over and around the light stand before mounting the lights and putting on the umbrella when you use it. Unless this is done, you will have to disassemble the entire cover in order to install the diffusion cover and secure it.

This is what you need if you have a parabola
5/5

This will need to be purchased with a 7' parabolic umbrella. Wear it and take it off with ease. Softly illuminates a large area and provides a nice feeling of intimacy.
