The Impact 7' Parabolic Umbrella Diffuser is a high-efficiency modifier that converts a 7-foot directional source into a massive soft light. It is made from a heat-resistant nylon-polyester blend that is designed to stay "true white" over long-term use. The perimeter features a heavy-duty elasticated hem for a snug fit on the umbrella frame, and the center includes a drawstring pass-through for the umbrella shaft, allowing for a secure and tidy installation.
Usage Insights
Due to its large 7-foot size, this diffuser is most effective when used with fiberglass-ribbed umbrellas, which can better handle the tension of the elastic rim. In a studio setting, this modifier provides a very soft light with a neutral color shift, though its size requires ample clearance in the room. It is a helpful tool for photographers who need the look of a very large softbox without the weight or assembly time of a traditional one.
- Heat-resistant fabric allows for use with professional studio lighting.
- Drawstring center cinch ensures a secure fit around the umbrella shaft.
