 NOT COLLAPSIBLE! Good otherwise August 15, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I feel like an idiot because I didn't think to check that it would be collapsible before I ordered it. I needed something portable, that would fit in my backpack. The shaft of this doesn't even telescope, it's one long piece.
 Cant beat the quality or the price. March 22, 2008
Only complaint is the shaft is very thin metal and my clamp crimped it a little when I tightened it. Besides that, another great product from adorama!

This was billed as being a good started lighting kit when paired with an SB800. Not really, you should really use this with a monolight and if you are going to buy a monolight then a soft box is the way to go. As far as it being what they advertised it to be, it is that, just not the results I was hoping for.
Very pleased with this product June 21, 2008
I just started doing studio work. Of the many umbrellas from which to choose, this is a wonderfully versatile reflective and shoot through option. The black/silver reversible backing is easily removed and, when on, is well seated over the primary umbrella. Excellent value, as well.
 Not bad for the $$$ August 19, 2008
I've used the Photogenic Eclipse umbrellas exclusively, but the most recent one I got opened up almost flat. I figured that a different umbrella wouldn't be a problem so I got a couple of these from Adorama. I only had to re-calibrate my custom white balance for these umbrellas using a digital target and we were good to go. They are kind of stiff out of the wrapper, probably because it has a removable cover. Overall though, it works just find and I haven't had any issues with it.
