Product Information

Full details

The Profoto Umbrella Deep Silver S is designed for photographers seeking precise light control in a compact and portable package. Its deep parabolic shape offers superior control over light spread and easy shaping by adjusting the shaft. While it delivers crisp, contrasty light, users should note its silver interior can produce a harder light than a white umbrella, which may require additional softening with a diffuser for some applications.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Deep Silver S design?

The deep parabolic shape offers significantly better control over light spread and allows for precise shaping by adjusting the light source's position within the umbrella.

Can I use this umbrella with any brand of flash?

Yes, as long as your flash unit has a standard umbrella mount. It is optimized for Profoto lights but is compatible with most studio flashes.

How do I get a softer light from this umbrella?

An optional diffuser is available separately. Fitting this diffuser over the front of the umbrella will soften and even out the light.

What is the difference between the Silver and White Deep Umbrellas?

The Silver Deep Umbrella produces a crisp, direct light with more contrast and higher light output, similar to a hard reflector. The White Deep Umbrella provides a softer, more diffused light with less contrast.

How do I clean the Profoto Umbrella Deep Silver S?

Gently wipe the fabric with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

What are the dimensions of the umbrella?

The umbrella has a diameter of 85 cm (33 inches) and a depth/height of approximately 69 cm (27 inches).

Does it come with a stand?

No, this product is the umbrella only and does not include a light stand or flash unit. It does include a carry bag.

Troubleshooting

Umbrella does not open or close smoothly.

Check for any obstructions or bent rods. Ensure the mechanism at the center is clear and functioning correctly. Do not force the umbrella; gentle, even pressure is recommended.

Light spread is uneven.

Verify that the light source is centered within the umbrella and that the umbrella is fully opened and locked. Ensure the fabric is taut.

Rust or discoloration on metal parts.

While surface-treated, prolonged exposure to moisture can still affect metal. Dry the umbrella thoroughly after use in damp conditions and store properly.

Versatile with the option to add a diffuser for softer light.

Cons

The silver interior can create a harder light compared to white umbrellas.
An optional diffuser needs to be purchased separately for softer lighting effects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Unzip the included carry bag and carefully remove the umbrella.
Gently open the umbrella, ensuring the rods extend fully and lock into place.
Insert the umbrella shaft into your light stand's umbrella mount or compatible bracket.
Attach your Profoto light (or compatible studio flash head) to the umbrella's center, ensuring it is securely fastened.

Compatibility:

This umbrella is designed to work with most standard studio lights and speedlights that have an umbrella mount. It is particularly optimized for use with Profoto lighting systems.

Care:

To clean, gently wipe the fabric with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Ensure the umbrella is completely dry before storing it in its carry bag.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Avoid excessive force when opening or closing to prevent damage to the rods.
