Product Information

Full details

The Godox DPU-165BS Diffuser is an essential accessory for portrait, fashion, and product photographers looking to maximize the versatility of their 165cm parabolic umbrella. It transforms a standard umbrella into a large, softbox-like light source that produces soft, flattering, and natural illumination, though users should note that the increased surface area requires a larger studio space to accommodate the setup.

FAQs

Can I use this with a 130cm umbrella?

No, this diffuser is specifically sized for 165cm umbrellas and will not fit smaller models securely.

Does this make the light source larger?

Yes, by diffusing the light across the entire face of the 165cm umbrella, it effectively acts as a large light modifier for softer shadows.

Is the interior lining heat resistant?

It is designed for standard strobe and LED lighting; however, avoid placing hot modeling lights or high-heat constant bulbs in direct contact with the fabric.

How do I store the diffuser?

The diffuser can be folded carefully when not in use, but avoid creasing it sharply to maintain the integrity of the silver reflective layer.

Will this work with a shoot-through umbrella?

This is designed for reflective parabolic umbrellas; using it on a translucent shoot-through model may result in improper light distribution.

Troubleshooting

The diffuser keeps slipping off the umbrella edge.

Ensure the elastic rim is tucked fully behind the umbrella frame and that the diameter is exactly 165cm.

Light is spilling out from the sides.

Adjust the fit of the black exterior layer to ensure it covers the entire front opening without gaps.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly softens harsh light output
  • Prevents unwanted light leakage with black exterior
  • Maximizes light intensity via silver reflective lining
  • Durable material ensures long-term reliability
  • Creates a professional softbox look from an umbrella

Cons

  • Requires significant studio clearance due to 165cm size
  • Only compatible with specific 165cm parabolic umbrellas
  • Increases the overall physical footprint of your lighting setup

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, drape the diffuser over the front of your opened 165cm parabolic umbrella, ensuring the elastic edge is fully secured around the perimeter to prevent light leakage.

Compatibility: This model is strictly designed for 165cm parabolic umbrellas. Attempting to use it on significantly smaller or larger umbrellas will prevent a proper fit and may compromise the light distribution.

Care Instructions:

  • Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  • If the surface becomes dusty, wipe gently with a clean, dry microfiber cloth.
  • Avoid folding the diffuser while the reflective silver coating is wet or damp to prevent material degradation.
