Find the perfect balance of illumination and detail with the Westcott 7' Parabolic Umbrella, a professional-grade lighting modifier designed for discerning photographers and videographers. This expansive 84-inch umbrella is crafted to envelop your subjects in a broad light source, yielding clean highlights and rich, open shadows that flatter your subjects with a natural look. The white interior of this versatile umbrella diffuses light to produce a soft, yet detailed quality that mimics natural lighting, making it an ideal choice for outdoor shoots. Its parabolic shape enhances the light's wraparound effect, ensuring an even distribution that combines the softness of diffused light with the directional control and crispness typically found in reflectors.
Structurally, the Westcott 7' Parabolic Umbrella is engineered for durability and ease of use. The double-walled shaft provides robust support and is tapered to a 7mm tip, making it compatible with Elinchrom and other European flash heads. The 16 inner ribs are constructed from durable fiberglass, preventing bending and maintaining the umbrella's shape under stress. The fixed black backing of the umbrella is a stylish and functional feature, ensuring that all light is directed towards your subject rather than lost through the material. This design choice contributes to the efficiency of light usage and the control over your lighting environment.
For added versatility, you can adjust the light-to-umbrella distance along the shaft, allowing you to fine-tune the hardness or softness of the light, as well as control the throw distance for specific photographic needs. Choose the Westcott 7' Parabolic Umbrella for a high-quality, stylish, and adaptable lighting solution that brings a professional edge to your photography and videography projects. With this parabolic umbrella, less is indeed more - more control, more quality, and more beautiful, natural-looking light.
