Product Information

Full details

The Profoto Deep Translucent Umbrella (Medium) is designed for professional photographers seeking a versatile, highly portable light modifier that excels at creating soft, natural light with precise control. Its deep parabolic shape allows for fine-tuning light spread by adjusting the shaft position, making it an excellent choice for portrait and location photography; however, users should note that an optional diffuser is required to achieve the highest level of light softness.

FAQs

Can I use this umbrella with non-Profoto flashes?

Yes, as long as your light head or holder has a standard umbrella mount, this modifier is compatible.

Does it come with a diffuser?

No, the diffuser is an optional accessory that must be purchased separately.

How do I store the umbrella?

Always collapse the umbrella and place it inside the included protective bag to prevent accidental rib damage.

What is the benefit of the 'Deep' shape?

The deep parabolic shape provides more control over light spread and allows for precise light shaping by adjusting the shaft position.

Is this umbrella weather-resistant?

The metallic elements are surface-treated to prevent rust, but the fabric is not waterproof. Avoid using in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Umbrella shaft won't slide easily in the holder

Ensure the mounting screw is fully loosened and the shaft is free of debris.

Light spill is too wide

Slide the umbrella shaft deeper into the holder to focus the light source or add a diffuser.

Uneven light shape

Check that all 16 glass fiber ribs are fully extended and not caught in the fabric folds.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the Profoto Deep Translucent Umbrella is straightforward: simply release the lock on your flash head’s umbrella holder, slide the shaft through, and secure it at your desired position.

Compatibility

This umbrella is compatible with any standard flash head or light modifier holder that accepts umbrella shafts. It is recommended for use with professional Profoto lighting systems, though it functions well with any strobe or speedlight setup.

Care Instructions

To keep your umbrella in peak condition:

Always store it in the provided labeled bag when not in use to prevent fabric tearing.
Wipe down the metallic elements with a dry cloth if exposed to humidity to maintain the anti-rust treatment.
Do not force the umbrella open; ensure the ribs are seated correctly during deployment.
