Product Description: The black backing can be removed to create a "shoot through" umbrella to create a softbox lighting effect. Great for still life setups or single light head & shoulder portraits. Use a colored filter in front of the light for some really special effects

Yes. It is cheap. The shaft easy to bend by clamp. I sew it already two times, but it is only $15 and quality is not that bad. But if you need shoot-through umbrella with exceptional quality for only $10 more - get AlienBees PLM 42" white one.

Shopping around, I found this gem of an umbrella that ticks all the boxes for versatility and value for anyone learning off-camera lighting on a budget. As a shoot-through umbrella it is not the largest, and as a bounce umbrella it is not very efficient, but as a first umbrella it will let you try out both lighting effects without any great expenditure.
The umbrella collapses to the length of its 27" center pole, which is solid at the ends. While not as compact as a double-folding umbrella, it is very sturdy and fits easily in the trunk of a Miata; no complaints about portability here! The cover, which is black on the outside and silver on the inside, removes and replaces very easily. There are no logos or signage anywhere on the umbrella or cover.
I recommend this umbrella for anybody venturing into off-camera lighting. For a sturdy kit with maximum versatility and minimum expense, pair it with the Studio Pro Swivel Bracket.

The product does what it's supposed too, just a little bit too small. Recommend for small projects!

A very basic product for sure, but a very important piece to your studio and field kit. I was looking for value, quality and reliability and this umbrella fits perfectly with that discription. If you need one, the size is right, then look no further, it is a great value. Dont forget to grab some multi clamps!

I purchased 2 of these umbrellas for my current lights. And they (umbrellas) bounced the light awsome. But the covers removed with ease. And the Transparent white gave the softess light..I used 2 lights and that was it too shoot my portraits. And just gave enough light...I highly recommend.
