Product Information
Full details
The Westcott Parabolic Front Diffusion Panel is designed for photographers using the Westcott 2.2m Parabolic Umbrella, offering a way to achieve extremely soft and even light, mimicking the effect of a large Octabank. While it significantly enhances light quality for strobe use and provides wide-angle spread with diffusion umbrellas, its primary function is as an accessory to an existing parabolic umbrella system, meaning it's not a standalone lighting modifier.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this a standalone light modifier?
No, the Westcott Parabolic Front Diffusion Panel is an accessory designed to be used with the Westcott 2.2m Parabolic Umbrella. It does not function independently.
What type of light is this best used with?
It is ideal for use with strobe-style lights to produce a soft, high-output light source. It can also be used with continuous lights.
How does this affect the light output?
The diffusion panel softens the light considerably, which may result in a slight reduction in light intensity compared to using the parabolic umbrella without the panel. However, the increase in light quality often compensates for this.
Can I use this with other brands of parabolic umbrellas?
This diffusion panel is specifically designed for the Westcott 2.2m Parabolic Umbrella and may not fit correctly or provide optimal results with other brands or sizes.
How easy is it to attach and remove?
It is designed for quick setup and removal, attaching via elastic around the umbrella rim and securing with a simple draw-string closure.
Does this panel change the beam angle of the light?
When paired with a diffusion parabolic umbrella, it helps create a wide-angle spread. When used with other parabolic umbrellas, it primarily softens the existing light pattern.
Troubleshooting
Panel is not fitting snugly.
Ensure the elastic edge is fully seated around the umbrella rim and tighten the draw-string closure around the umbrella shaft.
Light still appears too harsh.
Verify that the diffusion panel is centered and fully covering the front of the umbrella. Ensure the light source is not positioned too close to the panel.
Draw-string closure is difficult to tighten.
Check for any obstructions in the draw-string channel. Ensure the shaft is inserted straight.
