Professional Parabolic Lighting

The Westcott 7' Parabolic Umbrella kit delivers a broad, wrapping light source that produces clean highlights and rich, open shadows for portrait and studio photographers. Its unique parabolic shape blends soft, enveloping illumination with the crisp detail usually associated with reflectors. The fixed black backing ensures all output is directed toward the subject rather than wasted through the fabric. This combination suits creators who need precise control over lighting quality in a professional environment.

16 Fiberglass Ribs and Adjustable Throw

Sixteen durable fiberglass inner ribs replace traditional bendable metal to provide consistent shape and long-term reliability. The double-walled shaft tapers to 7mm for compatibility with Elinchrom and other European flash heads. By sliding the light source along the shaft, users can modify hardness, softness or throw distance to match the scene. Photographers who require a larger modifier or a different mounting system will need a separate solution.

Fixed Backing Directs Output

The fixed black backing prevents light spill and focuses every lumen on the subject for efficient output. Fiberglass ribs and a reinforced shaft maintain structural integrity during repeated setup and breakdown cycles. No cooling fans or power electronics are present, so the modifier operates silently and adds no electrical load to the flash system. Users seeking integrated power controls or automated positioning must look elsewhere.
