Product Information

Full details

The Westcott Convertible Compact Collapsible Umbrella is an essential tool for portrait photographers and videographers who prioritize portability without sacrificing light quality. Its 109cm white satin interior produces soft, flattering illumination for subjects, making it perfect for both studio and on-location work.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this umbrella come with a carrying case?

Yes, it typically includes a protective sleeve for easy transport and storage.

Can I use this with a speedlite?

Yes, but you will need a separate umbrella swivel bracket that allows you to mount both your speedlite and the umbrella on a light stand.

Is the fabric machine washable?

No, it is recommended to spot-clean the fabric with a damp cloth only.

What is the primary benefit of the collapsible shaft?

The collapsible shaft significantly reduces the length of the umbrella, making it much easier to fit into carry-on luggage or smaller gear bags.

Does it work with continuous LED lighting?

Yes, it is compatible with most LED monolights that feature a standard umbrella mount.

Troubleshooting

Umbrella wobbles on the stand

Ensure the shaft is fully pushed into the umbrella bracket and the tightening screw is firmly locked.

Umbrella won't stay locked in open position

Check the locking mechanism near the base of the handle; ensure it is snapped securely into the catch.

Light is spilling onto the background

Reattach the removable black cover to better contain the light output and control directionality.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Highly portable and compact for travel
Versatile reflective and shoot-through configurations
Provides soft, flattering light output
Easy to set up and break down quickly
Compatible with a wide variety of flash and strobe systems

Cons

Lightweight build may be susceptible to wind gusts

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the umbrella, slide the shaft into the umbrella port of your lighting bracket and lock it into place. Ensure the shaft is securely tightened to prevent rotation. For care, keep the fabric clean by shaking off dust and storing it in the included sleeve when not in use. Avoid exposing the fabric to sharp objects to prevent tearing. If the satin interior gets dirty, you can gently spot-clean it with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth and allow it to air-dry completely before folding it for storage.
