Designed for large-scale 7-foot parabolic umbrellas with 16 ribs, this front diffuser cover is a specialized tool for creating soft, even lighting in a studio. The fabric is a non-coated polyester that helps reduce "hot spots" from the light source. It uses an elastic perimeter band to secure the cloth to the rim of the umbrella, providing a quick way to convert a reflective umbrella into a large soft light bank. Specifications indicate the material has a thickness of 0.12mm, providing a significant softening effect.
Handling & Performance
The cover is designed for a universal fit on 16-rod frames. Because the fabric is not UV-stabilized, it is best kept away from high-heat continuous modeling lamps to prevent color shifts over time. The reinforced hem provides the necessary structure for the elastic to grip the rods. This diffuser is particularly useful for fashion or large-group photography where a broad, gentle light source is required to minimize harsh shadows.
- Large 7-foot surface area creates very soft shadows for portraits.
- Elastic band attachment allows for fast setup during a shoot.
- Neutral white fabric helps maintain color accuracy for skin tones.
