## Overview

The Fotodiox Premium Grade 43" Shoot Through Umbrella features a neutral white nylon fabric that delivers balanced white balance control, softening and diffusing light from any tungsten or flash source. Its heavy-duty, portable construction ensures durability for both studio and location shoots. Ideal for photographers and videographers seeking professional-quality soft lighting without the complexity or cost of traditional softboxes, this umbrella offers quick setup and reliable performance backed by a 24-month warranty.

## Description

Fotodiox Umbrellas are designed to be used with any tungsten or flash light source. The umbrellas will soften, amplify, and ease the light output on the subject. Umbrellas with a white interior will soften and wane light more than an umbrella with a silver lining. This white umbrella without a black backing may also be used as a makeshift softbox, although the use of the light will not be as efficient as softbox. This umbrella is made of diffusive nylon fabric and easy to use in tight spaces. It has a minimum light reduction.

Review: Inexpensive, simplistic option when a soft-box is out of reach - Update: I used these for a video shoot (see attached screen cap) and the lighting was awesome. We filmed this in a dimly lit basement, and these shoot through umbrellas turned the OMNI's into nice soft light... These little things gave new life to a set of old Lowel OMNI lights that I use for shoots. Great lighting for both video and photo. While these do not control light like a soft-box, these give that nice, soft light that I am looking for. The large size and circular shape gives the light additional softness. The construction seems OK - somewhat on the fragile side, but I am one of those geeky types that overdo it in terms of care and storage, so I very rarely break equipment. I tend to maintain items that others may deem as "cheap" or "fragile" for a very long time. Given my other alternative was to purchase a couple of speed-rings, (approx $35 each) as well as the soft boxes ( approx $25 each), getting this effect for a mere $25 for both umbrellas was a blessing on my pocket. These also set-up and tear down very quickly, when compared to setting up a soft-box, rings, poles, etc. I am sure there are many artistic and academic reasons why my approach is not PC in the filmmaking/photo world, but I am very pleased with my results...These have upped my production quality for a very low price.
Review: Good value - Great value if your looking yo set up a studio or just experimenting with flash. I don't know what more you would get from a more expensive purchase but choose well,look after your gear and it will look after you. I bought a second to give me more lighting options.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ They do the trick at a good price
*by D***N on March 28, 2013*

I bought a couple of these for various photo projects. They do exactly what they are designed to do at a reasonable price. It seems ridiculous the prices other companies charge for what is essentially a big, white umbrella. So, when I ordered these my only concern was the build quality because I'm pretty rough on my gear. These are well-built. The shaft is reasonably thick. I couldn't flex them with a reasonable amount of force, but I didn't want to push too hard either. I couldn't measure the thickness of the shaft wall because there is a nice metal end cap. The fabric is fine. I only lose about 1/3 stop shooting through these with my White Lighting strobes. The ribs seem to be on par with every other umbrella (of any sort) I've ever used. They are tipped with a nice white plastic barrel. The umbrellas come with a fairly thick, clear plastic sleeve to help keep them clean and white. Even if I do break one, at $10 a piece, I could buy five or six replacements and not spend as much money as some other companies charge. Because 43" is big, I have to move the umbrella all the way out to the end of the shaft to get it far enough away to get even illumination. When I do this, I get a beautifully soft lighting effect. I was concerned that they would be too heavy hanging way out off my strobes, but they are light enough I don't have to counter balance them. I was also concerned the shaft would bend under it's own weight, being held by just the last three or four inches. Also, I was a little worried the shaft diameter size would be wrong for my strobes, but they fit very nicely, which means they are of a standard size for most strobe equipment. But no worries. Everything has held up fine so far. I only have one wish that would make me happier. The folded length from tip to end of shaft is 29". I can't fit them in my lighting case. I would have loved for them to double fold and telescope down into a shorter length. I think you have to pay through the nose for that kind of convenience, however. All in all, I think they are well worth the price, and I know I'll buy them again. Because sooner or later, I'm going to break one. :)
