They last a long time so you don't have to spend money replacing it

This is a very well made umbrella. Built to last. I went for a cheap version when I was just starting in photography and it broke like nothing. This product is made for people like me... photographers on the field. You will never regret the investment.

Bought 2 of these because my olds ones were badly beaten up after yearssss of work. Anyways, these new ones are great and compact in their bag and work like a charm.

Was impressed with the speed speedy service and delivery options. I needed these super fast and was able to get my order in time and will be using again for sure.

Because I do a broad range of on site photography I recently purchased a set of umbrellas in various sizes made by Profoto. Though I had not used any of their products the reviews looked good but I was skeptical about the higher cost. I sometimes shoot in small locations with wood stained walls which are not desirable to bounce flash from so I started with the 33 inch white. These umbrellas were so much better made than anything that I had previously used that I decided to try replacing an old set of soft boxes with another set of Profoto's larger silver deep dish with diffusers. I now have two small white 33 deep dish, one medium silver 41 deep dish w/diffuser panel and one large silver 51 w/diffuser panel to cover various size sets and they are much more durable, better constructed and offer a nice reflection of light. The deep dish design allows for better control of light and feathering and add the diffuser to silver umbrella for an alternative to soft boxes with much quicker and easier set up/tear down and compact portability. I have used all of these umbrellas in my studio with good results and plan to carry them for on location photography. Both the umbrellas and the diffuser panels come in their own pre-labeled, individual durable protective cases and can be easily packed into your light stand case. Pricey but worth the $$.

I use these in a portable set up for portraits. They are small and light weight, but have a very nice light quality for there size. They seem well made but are a bit pricy. I will be buying a second set for my other portable set up.

I like a large, semi-controlled light source without the hassle of assembling light boxes. Most shallow umbrellas spray light everywhere and reduce the efficiency of the strobe. The umbrella packs conveniently in with my light stands and allows for quick set-up and tear-down. It lacks the control of a softbox with a grid but that is not always necessary. For location work where time is a factor, it does a great job. I have a smaller sized deep umbrella made years ago and the two work together well. It is a quality made product. I wish a smaller size was available.

I purchased this umbrella with the small diffuser. The construction is what you'd expect from Profoto. Great materials with a solid feel. It comes with a nice protective case. It's easy to open and setup with my D1 Air. Sure there are other, cheaper alternatives but I figured I'd buy something of quality once and not have to worry about it. Let's just hope I'm not eating my words!

I gotta admit, the profoto build is exceptional.
