Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unfold the umbrella carefully.
- Insert the shaft of your compatible studio light or speedlight bracket into the umbrella mount on your light stand.
- Slide the shaft of the umbrella into the designated holder on the bracket, ensuring it is securely fitted.
- Position the light source within the umbrella so that its beam is directed towards the reflective interior or through the translucent front, depending on your desired effect.
Compatibility:
The Elinchrom Deep Translucent Umbrella is compatible with most standard studio light stands and brackets that feature an umbrella mount. It is designed to work with strobes and continuous lights, provided the light source can be mounted on a stand and has a suitable angle to illuminate the umbrella effectively.
Care:
- Clean the translucent fabric gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
- Ensure the umbrella is completely dry before storing it in its sleeve.
- Store the umbrella in its protective sleeve to prevent damage to the fabric and fiberglass rods.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight when not in use.
- Handle the fiberglass rods with care to prevent bending or breaking.
