Product Information

Full details

The Godox DPU-165T Diffuser Cloth is an essential accessory for portrait and studio photographers looking to maximize the versatility of their 165cm parabolic umbrella. It effectively transforms a standard parabolic umbrella into a large-aperture softbox, delivering a soft, wrap-around light quality that minimizes harsh shadows and hot spots. While it is highly effective at diffusing light, users should note that the elastic attachment style requires a bit of patience to ensure it is centered correctly over the umbrella frame for even distribution.

FAQs

Can I use this on a smaller 105cm umbrella?

No, this diffuser is specifically sized for 165cm umbrellas and will not fit correctly on smaller units.

Does this significantly reduce the flash power needed?

Yes, because the cloth acts as a diffusion layer, you may need to increase your flash power or open your aperture slightly compared to using the umbrella without the cloth.

Is the fabric heat resistant?

The material is designed for standard strobe usage, but you should avoid using it with high-wattage continuous hot lights to prevent fabric damage.

How do I store the cloth when not in use?

It can be folded flat. Keep it in a protective bag to prevent snags and dust accumulation.

Will this work on a shoot-through umbrella?

This is designed for reflective parabolic umbrellas. It is not intended for use as a shoot-through accessory.

Troubleshooting

The cloth appears loose or sagging.

Ensure that the elastic edge is seated fully behind the frame tips of the umbrella and that the cloth is stretched evenly around the entire circumference.

Light spill is occurring around the edges.

Check that the elastic band is not twisted and is pulled fully over the rim of the umbrella frame to ensure a tight light seal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Significantly softens light for professional portraiture
Easy and quick installation with elastic tensioning
Lightweight and highly portable for location shooting
Expands the utility of your existing parabolic umbrella

Cons

Requires careful alignment to prevent uneven light distribution
Reduces the overall light output intensity compared to a bare umbrella
Not compatible with umbrellas of different sizes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your 165cm parabolic umbrella is fully opened and locked. Gently stretch the elastic edge of the diffuser cloth over the open face of the umbrella. Adjust the edges around the circumference until the cloth is pulled tight and the material is evenly tensioned across the surface.

Compatibility is strictly limited to 165cm models; attempting to fit this on smaller or significantly larger umbrellas will result in poor tension or failure to attach. To maintain the cloth, store it in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew. If the cloth becomes dusty, use a soft-bristled brush or a lint roller. Do not machine wash the cloth to avoid damaging the elastic binding or altering the diffusion density.
