FLASHPOINT 86in PARABOLIC SILVER UMBRELLA

Just received the 7 feet parabolic umbrella that I order from Adorama. $70 plus shipping, a huge difference compare the $1850 Profoto Giant Silver 210 (7Ft) Umbrella.
Obviously the qualities of the 2 items are different. But I feel that I may still get the look I'm looking to do with it.

It's BIG !!! Here it is in my studio next to a 34x45 inch soft box. Note that my ceiling are 12 feet high.


I'm going to do some test with it very soon and make a review out of it.

You all have a wonderful weekend.

Cheers,
Frederic.
