Product Information
Full details
The Profoto Umbrella Deep Translucent (Large) is an essential lighting modifier for professional studio and location photographers who prioritize portability and precise light control. Its deep parabolic design allows for excellent light shaping, while its translucent fabric provides soft, diffused illumination perfect for close-up portraiture. One caveat is that users should handle the 16 glass fibre rods with care during setup to ensure the long-term integrity of the parabolic shape.

FAQs
Can I use this umbrella with non-Profoto lights?
Yes, it is compatible with any standard flash head or light stand that accepts a standard umbrella shaft.
What is the difference between this and a standard umbrella?
The 'Deep' design provides a more parabolic shape, giving you significantly more control over the light's focus and fall-off.
Does the umbrella come with a diffuser?
The umbrella includes a carry-bag, but the front diffuser is sold as an optional accessory.
How do I maximize light softness?
For the softest light, place the umbrella as close to your subject as possible and, if available, use the optional diffuser.
How much does the large version weigh?
The Profoto Deep Translucent Large weighs approximately 900 grams.
Is the fabric heat-resistant?
Yes, the umbrella is constructed with high-quality, heat-resistant fabrics suitable for intensive professional use.
Troubleshooting
Umbrella does not maintain a round shape
Check if any of the 16 glass fibre rods have become displaced from the hub; gently guide them back into their respective slots.
Umbrella shaft slides during operation
Tighten the locking mechanism on your light head's umbrella holder; if it continues to slip, check for debris inside the umbrella mount.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Deeper shape provides significantly better light control than standard umbrellas
- 16 glass fibre rods ensure a stable, even light spread
- Lightweight and highly portable for location photography
- Robust build quality with rust-resistant metal parts
- Easy to adjust focus by sliding the shaft
Cons
- Requires careful storage in its provided bag to avoid rod damage
- Larger diameter may be bulky in very small studio spaces
- Optional diffuser must be purchased separately to achieve maximum softness
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the umbrella, slowly unfold it and ensure the 16 glass fibre rods are properly seated. The umbrella is compatible with most standard Profoto umbrella holders found on their monolights and flash heads. When adjusting the focus, always loosen the holder lock slightly before sliding the shaft to prevent scratching the metal.
Care instructions are straightforward: keep the fabric clean and dry. After use, fold the umbrella carefully and store it in the included labeled bag to protect the rods from bending or tension damage. Ensure the umbrella is completely dry before storage to prevent mold or fabric degradation.
