Design and Performance

The umbrella’s silver interior enhances light efficiency by reflecting most of the light beam onto the scene, while the diffuser material further softens the light for a professional, even illumination. The large diameter allows for a wider beam angle, making it suitable for larger sets, advertising photography, packshots, portraits, and video productions.

A drawstring adjustment on the diffuser allows precise control over the diffusion material, helping to minimize side spill and direct light exactly where needed. The black outer fabric prevents light leakage and unwanted reflections.

Compatibility and Usage

The Newell 140 cm reflective softbox umbrella is compatible with lighting devices featuring an 8 mm diameter spigot, including both continuous lights and flash units. It can be mounted on tripods or brackets and used as a key or fill light. Its quick assembly and versatile design make it suitable for studio photography, product shoots, portraits, video recordings, and live streams.

Build and Portability

The umbrella features a sturdy frame that keeps the fabric taut and maintains consistent light quality. Its foldable design allows for fast setup and breakdown. The included carry bag facilitates easy transport for photographers and videographers working on location or moving between studios.
