Impact 7' Parabolic Umbrella (White Translucent)

If you had to choose a single light shaping tool, you might do well to pick the Impact 7 Parabolic Umbrella in translucent white. First of all, it s a huge broad light source that wraps light around your subject, yielding clean highlights and rich open shadows. But due to the special shape of the umbrella there s a unique mix of soft enveloping light with the kind of crisp detail you only get from reflectors. Put another way, if you combined a beauty dish with a softbox, you d have a parabolic umbrella.

This umbrella has a unique structural design as well. Instead of bendable metal, the 16 inner ribs are made of durable fiberglass. The improved " finger-friendly" locking mechanism means you won t pinch your fingers when you re setting up or breaking down. The translucent white umbrella s fabric can be used in the traditional bounce mode, or for slightly snappier contrast and a low-ceiling-friendly smaller form factor, you can turn the umbrella around, aim the convex side of it at your subject, and " shoot through" by pumping the light source through the fabric. In addition, an optional diffuser is available for this umbrella, which effectively converts it to a large softbox with just a 1/2 stop loss of output.

Parabolic Shape

The parabolic shape produces a more natural wraparound light than a regular umbrella. This soft and natural light is what makes this umbrella a favorite of wedding and portrait photographers.

Improved Locking Mechanism

The improved " finger-friendly" locking mechanism means you won t pinch your fingers when you re setting up or breaking down.

Wide Diameter

The 7-foot diameter ensures a soft light quality. This umbrella produces enough light for stunning group photos. It will also emit a broad enough beam for full-length portraits.

White Translucent Fabric

When used as a shoot-through umbrella, the white translucent fabric softens and broadens light from your flash and provides you with a seamless and natural-looking light for your subjects.

16-Rib Design

For an umbrella to be effective, it needs to maintain its shape, and the fabric should remain taut. The umbrella features a 16-rib design that maintains the shape of the umbrella and the tension of the fabric for an even light spread.
