Promaster PP UMBRELLA-SOFT LIGHT-72"

The included carrying case makes storage and transport a breeze, a huge plus for on-location shoots. I was impressed by how evenly this 72-inch umbrella diffuses the light, giving a beautiful, soft quality to my portraits right out of the box.

Opened the umbrella for the first time and the stitching looks solid, the diffuser panel is nice and taut. Softens my strobe nicely without any harsh hotspots.

The carry bag is a nice bonus, but what really sold me is how even the light falloff is through the diffuser—skin tones look natural right out of the box. Set-up took me under a minute, and it feels sturdy enough for regular gigs.
