The 36" Umbrella Softbox Bounce from Savage combines the flattering light of a softbox with the ease of setup/breakdown of an umbrella.

Combining the strengths of both light shapers, this umbrella has solid black exterior like a softbox, a high output silver interior, and a full front face diffuser. Also like a softbox the interior of the umbrella is hidden so as not to reflect the spokes and support system. Natural looking round catchlights in your subject's eyes are another benefit of using the Umbrella Softbox Bounce. The Umbrella Softbox Bounce should be used up close where it exhibits a quality of light somewhere between a beauty dish and a standard softbox. Of course when it's time to breakdown, you'll be packed and on to your next job while others are still fumbling with their poles and speed rings.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. will this work well with an Elinchrom light brx 500 on location ?

A: While this product utilizes an 8mm shaft, it could fit the lower umbrella bracket on an Elinchrom BRX 500. However, the umbrella would not be entirely centered with the head. With that said, an option which will fit the 7mm opening in the center of the BRX 500 head would be the Photek Umbrella - Softlighter II with 7mm Shaft - 36 B&H # PHSL40S. Please see the image below for reference.

Q: 2. Would this cover work on the other Savage LED umbrella kit? Those umbrellas are 33 , this is 36 .

Q: 6. Does this umbrella have a neutral color? I've heard it might give a blue cast.

Q: 7. What is the color balance you would get from this umbrella?

A: The color balance you would get is dependent on the light source you are using and how your white balance is set in the camera. To get the full effect of the umbrella, a custom white balance setting is recommended.

Q: 8. Can this be used as a shoot through? Is it translucent?

A: No, reflective only.

Q: 9. Does it produce a hard light?

A: The quality of light produced by a light modifier depends on the size of the modifier in relation to the size of the subject and the distance it is used from the subject. If you use the Savage Umbrella Softbox Bounce (36 ) relatively close to a subject for head shots or bust shots (18 to 3 feet), the item would produce soft, wraparound lighting. The farther from the subject, the less wraparound light and the harder the light will become. The same light modifier farther away (12' - 15' and farther) may produce hard light on your subject with no wraparound light quality.

Q: 10. How long is it folded?

A: 25 long.
