We use these in our school photo sessions. (They are used a lot!) They are rugged enough to handle the multiple setups/tear downs we have each year. They provide the exact lighting we need to provide outstanding photos. Would purchase again.

Super easy to use. Takes about two seconds to breakdown. So much better than a soft box if you are on the go. Totally worth the price!

反射アンブレラにトレペがついたものなので中でストロボを反射させたあとにディフューザーを通して光がそとにでていきます。反射させてる分通常のアンブレラより光が柔らかくなるので個人的にはお気に入り。円形のソフトボックスより安く購入できるのも良い感じです。アンブレラは何度も折りたたんでるうちにだんだんたと消耗してしまうのですが週一使用で3年くらい使えましたので完全に壊れる前に追加購入です。欠点としてはアンブレラということもあり光は拡散しやすいので狭い範囲に光をあてることには向かないです。

I know it's an umbrella and designed to be light and flimsy but I was scared I was going to rip the seams apart just opening and closing it. I returned it.

I’ve had really good results with this mod. I paired it with a S2 speedlight mount and im really happy with it. I’ve thought about using light socks on umbrellas in the past but that gets expensive really quick. This is a cheap way to see if you like the shape of light and then go more expensive later. But with the images I’m getting now honestly there’s no need and if it falls off a stand it won’t break the bank to pick up another.

Works well and is portable. Provides nice even broad light. My only complaint is the attachment of the diffuser around the light is a little awkward and not very secure. It slipped off my light during a shoot and the string that fastens it melted against the bulb I believe. I"ll be finding something better to secure it with before long. But I like the umbrella and the light it povides. Good Quality, Good Price

I have used this umbrella with both a strobe and a flash for portraits and it works well and diffuses very nicely for it's size. Opens and closes easily and fits back into the sleeve with no problem. Good buy.

This piece of equipment will do the job such as softening the lights and lighting your subject nicely. Should definitely be part of your equipment for portraits

I have a full in home photo studio with strobes and some high end gear as I work part time as a photographer. I am just beginning to figure out the joys of using speedlites on location rather than shlepping the strobes all over the place. But not being sure whether I am fully commited to the multiple speedlite idea, I didn't want to commit to really expensive modifiers to go with them. So, I did a quite a bit of review reading and research and finally landed on this softbox umbrella.This is a great modifier. It is super easy to set up and break down and seems like it will hold up for a little while. I am not expecting a very long life from it if I use it extensively but at this price point I wouldn't expect it to last for years on end and you shouldn't expect that either. Camera gear is notoriously and ridiculously expensive so when I see something good that doesn't come with a premium pricetag I am grateful but I also put my expectations in line with the price. if this lasts years, I will be thrilled. If it lasts just a year I will be happy. If it breaks tomorrow I will come back and edit my review and let you know that.I set this up with a three speedlite ring (FWIW.... I spent very little on the mount for the ring and it was awful.... sometimes it pays to invest a bit more... the mount practically ruined the shoot) and it performed flawlessly giving nice even lighting and beautiful circular catchlights. A few days after that test shoot I used this thing with my studio strobes in a client shoot and again it performed beautifully rendering the sort of light one would want from this set up.BOTTOM LINE: for the price this is a remarkable piece of equipment that works with speedlites as well as studio strobes. I have no idea how long it will last but if it breaks early on in its life with me I will update this review. For now I think this is a great inexpensive alternative to more pricey modifiers if you are just getting started or want to test things out. Highly recommend.

I got this because it was affordable and it has exceeded my expectation. It is tough and made out of solid materials that wont damage easily. When closed it is small enough to take just about anywhere. Fits nicely into all my stands/mounts and has been a great addition to my gear.

Je le possède depuis 2 mois environ, et j'en suis très content. Je m'en sert pour mon studio mobile chaque semaine, et pour l'instant il est toujours en bon état malgré les démontages remontages et transport dans ma voiture.
