Product Information
Full details
The Profoto Shallow White Umbrella (Small, 33") is a professional-grade light shaping tool designed for photographers who prioritize portability without compromising on soft, balanced illumination. It is ideal for location portraiture and fashion shoots where a wide light spread is needed for natural-looking results; however, due to its compact size, it may not provide enough coverage for larger group shots compared to larger modifiers.

FAQs
Is the diffuser included with the umbrella?
No, the diffuser is an optional accessory that must be purchased separately.
Can I use this with constant LED lights?
Yes, the umbrella is made with heat-resistant fabrics, making it suitable for use with continuous lighting.
What is the primary difference between this and a silver umbrella?
The white interior creates a softer, more natural light, whereas silver interiors produce higher contrast and sharper highlights.
Is the umbrella water-resistant?
While the materials are durable, it is designed for indoor and dry outdoor studio use; avoid exposing it to rain.
How heavy is the unit?
The umbrella weighs approximately 350 grams, making it one of the most portable options in the Profoto lineup.
Troubleshooting
Umbrella canopy will not stay open.
Ensure the central locking mechanism is fully engaged and the shaft is pushed into the locked position on the mounting bracket.
Umbrella shaft does not fit the mount.
Verify your lighting unit's umbrella holder accepts standard umbrella shaft diameters; use an adapter if necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely lightweight and easy to carry
- High-quality construction resists rust and heat
- Fast and simple setup for quick workflow
- Provides a soft, natural light spread
- Compact folded size fits easily in gear bags
Cons
- Small 33-inch diameter limits coverage for large subjects

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the umbrella is straightforward: slide the central rod into your light fixture's umbrella mount, open the canopy until it clicks into position, and adjust the distance from the light source to focus or spread the beam. This umbrella is compatible with most standard studio flash and continuous light umbrella mounts. To ensure longevity, always ensure the umbrella is completely dry before storing it in the included carry-bag. If the fabric becomes dusty, wipe it down gently with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the heat-resistant properties of the fabric.
