Product Information

Full details

This Elinchrom Deep 105cm Silver Umbrella is designed for photographers seeking to add crisp light with enhanced specularity and texture to their shots. Its deep profile offers precise control over light spread, making it ideal for portraiture and product photography where defined highlights and shadows are desired. A key caveat is that its silver interior, while producing crispness, may be less forgiving with very sensitive skin tones compared to a white interior.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the silver interior?

The silver interior provides a crisp light output with increased specularity and texture, ideal for highlighting details and creating defined shadows.

Can I use this umbrella with any brand of strobe?

Yes, as long as your strobe or light source has a standard umbrella mount, you can use this umbrella. The central tube is designed for Elinchrom but is compatible with most standard mounts.

How do I soften the light from this silver umbrella?

An optional diffuser is available separately, which can be attached to the front of the umbrella to soften the light and reduce harshness.

What does 'deep design' mean for light control?

The 'deep' design refers to the umbrella's profile (45 cm depth for this 105cm model), which allows for more precise control over the direction and spread of light compared to shallower umbrellas.

How many rods does this umbrella have?

This Elinchrom Deep Umbrella has 16 fiberglass rods, which helps it maintain a near-perfect circular shape.

Is a carrying case included?

Yes, this umbrella includes a portable umbrella sleeve for storage and transport.

What are the dimensions of the umbrella?

The umbrella has a diameter of 105 cm and a depth of 45 mm.

Troubleshooting

Umbrella does not open fully

Ensure each fiberglass rod is correctly seated and locked into its respective mechanism at the front of the umbrella. Check for any obstructions.

Light is too harsh or contrasty

Consider using the optional diffuser to soften the light. Alternatively, move the umbrella further from the subject or try feathering the light.

Light pattern is uneven

Verify that the light source is centered within the umbrella's central tube and that the umbrella fabric is taut and free of wrinkles.

Umbrella feels wobbly on the stand

Ensure the umbrella's shaft is securely tightened in the mount of your light stand or strobe, and that the light stand itself is stable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Produces crisp and specular light with enhanced texture.
  • Deep design offers excellent control over light spread.
  • Maintains a near-perfect circular shape due to 16 fiberglass rods.
  • Versatile with an optional diffuser for softening light.
  • Facilitates symmetrical and controlled lighting setups.

Cons

  • Silver interior can create harsher highlights and shadows compared to white.
  • May require careful use with sensitive skin tones to avoid unflattering contrast.
  • Less suitable for photographers who exclusively prefer soft, diffused light without modification.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unfold the umbrella carefully, extending the fiberglass rods until they lock into place at the front.
  2. Mount the umbrella to your light stand or strobe using the central umbrella mount.
  3. Insert your Elinchrom light head (or compatible strobe with an umbrella mount) into the central tube of the umbrella, ensuring it is securely seated.

Compatibility:

This umbrella is designed to work with Elinchrom lights and other studio strobes or speedlights that feature a standard umbrella mount. Ensure your light source's mounting mechanism is compatible with the umbrella's central tube.

Care:

  • Clean the fabric interior gently with a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Store the umbrella in its included sleeve when not in use to protect the fabric and rods from dust and damage.
  • Always ensure the umbrella is fully dry before storing it to prevent mildew.
