Product Information
Full details
The Elinchrom 83cm Umbrella Set is an essential tool for portrait and event photographers seeking a versatile, lightweight lighting solution. Designed for creators who need quick setup times and soft, even illumination, these umbrellas offer both bounce and shoot-through capabilities for maximum creative control. While they are highly portable and reliable, users should note that the 83cm diameter is best suited for small to medium-sized subjects and may require additional modifiers for very large group scenes.

FAQs
Can I use these umbrellas outdoors?
Yes, they are lightweight and portable, but due to their shape, they can catch the wind easily. Always use a sandbag on your light stand when shooting outdoors.
What is the difference between the silver and translucent options?
The silver umbrella provides a higher contrast and brighter light reflection, while the translucent umbrella is designed to be shot through to diffuse light for a softer look.
Will these fit on non-Elinchrom lights?
These umbrellas use a standard 7mm shaft, so they will fit any flash head or umbrella bracket that accepts 7mm rods.
How do I store the umbrellas safely?
Always fold the umbrella and place it inside the included protective sleeve to prevent the metal ribs from bending or the fabric from snagging.
Are these umbrellas heat resistant?
They are designed for standard flash usage. Avoid using them with high-wattage modeling lamps left on for extended periods, as intense heat may damage the fabric.
Troubleshooting
Umbrella will not fit into the flash head mount
Verify that your flash head utilizes a 7mm umbrella receptacle. If the opening is smaller, you may need a third-party umbrella adapter.
The light spread looks uneven
Check that the shaft is pushed all the way into the mount. An improperly seated umbrella will cause the light to be off-center.
Umbrella fabric is bunching
Ensure the tension on the central frame is even and that no ribs are tangled within the fabric folds during opening.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Versatile lighting effects (bounce vs. shoot-through)
- Lightweight and highly portable
- Quick and simple setup process
- Standard 7mm stem fits a wide range of Elinchrom gear
Cons
- 83cm size may be small for very large group portraits
- Requires an umbrella bracket for lights without a built-in umbrella holder
- Limited to soft lighting applications
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the umbrella, gently push the central shaft into the umbrella receptacle on your flash head until it clicks or is secured by the tightening knob. Ensure the shaft is fully extended to allow the fabric to open into its full concave shape.
Compatibility: These umbrellas feature a 7mm stem, specifically designed to fit the native umbrella holders found on Elinchrom and Prolinca flash units. If you are using a non-Elinchrom strobe, ensure you are using an umbrella-compatible mounting bracket.
Care Instructions: Always collapse the umbrellas before storing them. Use the provided protective sleeves to prevent tears in the fabric and to keep the frame components free from dust or bending during transport. If the fabric becomes dusty, wipe it gently with a dry, lint-free cloth.
