Product Information

Full details

The Godox DPU-85BS Black/Silver Diffuser is an essential tool for portrait and fashion photographers who use an 85cm parabolic umbrella. It provides professional-grade light control by allowing users to toggle between high-contrast dramatic lighting and specular, punchy output, though it is specifically designed for 85cm frames and will not fit larger or smaller umbrella sizes.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this on a 105cm umbrella?

No, this diffuser is designed specifically for 85cm parabolic umbrellas and will not provide a secure fit on larger sizes.

Which side should I use for soft, diffused light?

This product is primarily for contrast and output control. For soft, diffused light, you may consider a translucent diffusion cover instead.

Is the fabric heat-resistant?

The fabric is designed for standard strobe and continuous LED lighting, but avoid placing high-output tungsten bulbs directly against the fabric.

Does it fold down for storage?

Yes, the fabric is flexible and can be folded into a compact size for storage in your camera bag.

Does the diffuser change the color temperature of my light?

The silver side maintains a neutral output, while the black side simply absorbs light without altering the color temperature of your strobe.

Troubleshooting

Diffuser appears loose or baggy

Ensure the elastic perimeter is fully seated behind the umbrella frame's ribs to maintain even tension.

Light looks uneven on subject

Check that the diffuser is centered correctly on the umbrella; a slight shift can alter the light output significantly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile lighting control options
  • Easy to attach and remove from umbrellas
  • Compact and lightweight for travel
  • High-quality materials ensure long-term durability

Cons

  • Not compatible with umbrellas other than 85cm
  • Requires careful handling to avoid creasing the reflective surface
  • Does not include an umbrella or light stand

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the diffuser, simply stretch the elastic edges over the perimeter of your 85cm parabolic umbrella frame until the fabric is taut and wrinkle-free. Ensure the desired side (Black or Silver) is facing outward toward your subject. This diffuser is strictly compatible with 85cm diameter umbrellas; using it on incompatible sizes may damage the fabric or result in poor light distribution. To clean, wipe gently with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water; avoid harsh chemical cleaners as they can strip the reflective coating from the silver surface. Always store in a dry place to prevent mildew or fabric degradation.
