Q&A’s
Will this Umbrella fit my Elinchrom head?
- Our umbrellas have an 8mm shaft, so it won't go through the Centre of the light like the 7mm shaft umbrellas would.
However some Elinchrom heads have a slot underneath the angle adjustment lever (as shown in the photo below).
If your Elinchrom light has this, then you should be able to use this umbrella with no problem.
Is this umbrella compatible with the Profoto B2?
- Yes the umbrella is compatible with the Profoto B2, as it has a shaft diameter of 8mm.

Quality & Value
A brolly this size will simply bathe your portraits in sublime light, which I suppose is why we accept the fact that they are truly horrible bits of kit to handle. They seem vastly bigger than a 40 inch, much more than the numbers alone might suggest. There does not seem to be any makers name on the one I got, but the build quality is certainly impressive. Exceeded my expectations given the price. I would recommend it without reservation. For home use it would be a good idea to think about the size and height of the room you intend to use for your photography. For 'location' stuff it's probably a good idea to have a 40 or 33 inch brolly in the car unless you know the location well already. There are rooms where it just isn't gonna fit in terms of throwing the light where you want it. That's the same for all big brollies and softboxes though, not just this one.
Five Stars
Really nice quality!

59" Translucent White Umbrella
This umbrella is great to creating a lovely large light source - excellent for headshots and softly lit portraiture. I shot a session using a smaller umbrella, and then switched to this big one. The model and I could immediately tell the difference and she loved the look it created. The umbrella is quite heavy and I mounted it on its own light stand. This actually really helps with positioning the brolly and the associated flash unit. It wouldn't really mount safely on my strobe due to the weight. It is really quick and easy to put up, which can save so much time on assignment. I would recommend this product.
