Umbrellas are the backbone of many photographers’ toolboxes, understandably so, because they are easy to work with and ideal to bring to location. Profoto Umbrellas are made to the same exacting standards we apply to all our light modifiers. Available in 18 unique versions and made with high-quality fabrics and surface-treated metallic elements, Profoto Umbrellas provide a superior light and last for many years.

All of Profoto’s deep umbrellas have a deep parabolic shape compared with the average umbrella. The deeper the shape, the better control you have of the light spread. It also allows you to focus and shape light by simply sliding the umbrella shaft backward or forward in its holder. Translucent umbrellas are used to shoot through and they diffuse and soften the light by reducing contrast. Translucent umbrellas are perfect to create soft light when you’re very close to your subject.

Profoto Umbrella Deep Translucent XL FAQ's

We have tried to cover some of the potential questions you might have about the Profoto Umbrella Deep Translucent XL. If there's something we're not covered here, then please contact info@aj-s.co.uk and we will be more than happy to have a chat with you about the Profoto Umbrella Deep Translucent XL.

Which shape umbrella should I use? Deep or Shallow?

A deeper shape gives you more precise control of the light spread – a more focused light with less stray light. It also provides the possibility of a greater zoom effect than you’ll find in the shallow version. However, the shallow shape offers more light spread, which is useful if you want to achieve an evenly lit background.

Which size umbrella should I use?

The sizes range from the smallest 85 cm (2.8') to the extra-large 165 cm (5.4'). The size affects the softness and spread of light. Think of it like this – the larger the umbrella the softer the light will be. Also, a larger umbrella will create an even illumination over a larger area, which is good for full length or group portraits.

What results do I get from the different fabrics? Silver, White and Translucent.

The Silver creates a very crisp, direct light with more contrast and a high light output, a little like the light you’d get from a hard reflector. The White reflects a more natural, softer light. Translucent umbrellas are used to shoot through and they diffuse and soften the light by reducing contrast. Translucent umbrellas are perfect for creating soft light when you’re very close to your subject.

Turns Into A Softbox*

With the addition of the Profoto Backpanel, which is an optional extra, the Profoto Umbrella turns into a softbox. Simply pull it over the front of your Translucent Umbrella to turn it into a softbox. The backpanel is a fabric that is white on the inside and black on the outside. The result of using the backpanel is that there will be no backward light leakage, which might influence the light quality on the subject when bouncing around.
