GODOXGodox UB-105W 41in 105cm Parabolic Black White Reflective Umbrella Studio Light Umbrella with Black Silver Diffuser Cover Cloth (UB-105W)

65 sheets sounds expensive for an umbrella, but this appears to be very well made and provides significant versatility. I chose the white rather than the silver to provide less contrast and specularity. If you are after a more 'fashiony' look, go for the silver; for general portraiture, choose the white. It should also be noted that the silver interior version will also offer an extra stop of light output for any given flash-power setting.I have 51" and 7ft 'parabolics', so this completes a set. The 51 is Interfit, the 7ft, Westcott - I like to share the love around. These sizes are also available in the Godox range (51 and 65 inches). The 41" can easily be transported and set up anywhere making it ideal for editorial, event, headshot etc., location work. Its coverage is good for tight headshots through to 3/4-length - full-length at a push, though a 51 or 65 inch model would be better for full length or groups.It comes packed in a good quality cordura-style sheath and should be supplied with the diffuser as advertised (mine was). Its a tight fit in the case with the diffuser but I guess this keeps the transportation form-factor small. The diffuser adds an excellent dimension, turning the brolly into an easy to set up circular soft-box.This is not a true 'parabolic' - with the versatility (or cost) of a Bron, Briese, or Profoto deep brolly. It does however give you something of the effect (for £65, rather than £5,000). You can position the light source near or far from the interior surface by moving the shaft of the brolly, making the light harder or softer. The deep design provides greater spill control than would be the case with a standard brolly, yet still sprays a wider light pattern than a similar-sized soft-box.If you want to use the diffuser a lot, possibly with a flashgun, buy the silver version, as you will benefit from the extra stop of light and the diffuser will quell the additional specularity you'd get from the silver surface.Overall, I'd recommend this highly.

Lots of reviews said this was the case, but I took the chance. It did not have the diffuser panel inside as it states on the product description.Can't understand why so many people have said the same and yet it's still advertised as having it.Get it changed Amazon !

Umbrella arrived with no diffuser cloth even though ordered to include diffuser cloth.

This is a good quality lighting umbrella, heavy and well made, but as others have said, it did not come with the diffuser cloth as advertised.I could have got it cheaper elsewhere but bought this item specifically as it’s listed as coming with the diffuser cloth.Looking at the reviews, it’s only recently it’s had the issue of not coming with the diffuser.Don’t buy it if you are expecting it to come as advertised.Apart from that, it’s a good quality modifier.

My £200 Profoto umbrella broke after 2 years. Tried this instead- identical size and easily, if not better quality for a quarter of the price. Plus diffuser comes with which is another £100 add on Profoto.! Very pleased.

Excellent quality. Strong, sturdy, thick umbrella. Hard to find good white interior umbrellas. Only issue is there really isn't space in the bag for the diffuser, just have to force it into the top!

The build and quality are incredible. It feels heavy and sturdy. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because my order didn't come with the diffusion cloth shown on the photos.

Didn’t come with a diffuser cloth as advertised

diffuser dete hi nahi white sath me not good product

El producto es fantástico, lástima que lleve a engaño el tema de la tela difusora que NO ESTÁ INCLUIDA, ni siquiera referenciada para que la encuentres con facilidad (por eso no le pongo las 5 estrellas en la valoración general).Por lo demás, la suavidad de la luz (con el difusor) es maravillosa y la construcción muy bien acabada.Para RETRATO lo recomiendo 1000x100 (con el difusor, jaja)

Ich arbeite auch mit Top-Equipment teurerer Marken und kann sagen, dass die Godox-Produkte für den Preis wirklich super sind.Ich benutze den Regenschirm eine Weile und er hält sehr gut.Schön verpackt schließt das Diffusormaterial sehr gut ab, sodass kein Licht herauskommt.Ab und zu muss ich zwei-, dreimal auf den Verriegelungsknopf drücken, damit der Schirm offen bleibt, ansonsten bin ich sehr zufrieden damit.

Attention: le diffuseur n'est pas livré avec le parapluie, contrairement à la représentation sur la photo.Ce qui m'a étonné au début, c'est le poids très supérieur aux modèles de même taille que je possèdes.Ce que j'aime:la qualité du fourreau de transport,le nombre de baleines et le large bouton poussoir de fermeture,le côté enveloppant du parapluie, presque une demie sphère,l'aspect blanc très légèrement satiné de l'intérieur,le gain d'un bon stop par rapport à mon parapluie translucide.

Sur les images du produit on voit clairement une toile de diffusion, elle n'est pourtant pas comprise avec, déçu et énervé par cette annonce tendancieuse, qui pousse à croire qu'elle vient fournie avec.Pour le prix la toile devrait etre fournie avec, l'article est donc incomplet. Pour le reste, celà semble bien fait
