Whether you're looking for a broad on-the-go modifier or versatile but cost-effective studio solution, Westcott 7' Umbrellas are an essential tool for speedlites, strobes, continuous lights, and natural light photographers.
Reflect Light with White or Silver Bounce Interior
Looking to maximize the output of your studio light or flash? Bounce your light source into a reflective silver umbrella for bright, edgy highlights or into a reflective white umbrella for a softer, more natural look.

Superior Design for Use Outdoors
With instant setup, easy teardown, framework designed to withstand impact, and a compact travel case, our 7' umbrellas are a must-have light modifier for on-location photography.
Portable Octabank-Style Lighting
Pair a silver 7' umbrella with the diffusion cover to create a large, yet controlled, light source. This essential accessory attaches instantly to your umbrella and offers similar modification to that of a large octabank without the tedious setup or cost.

The seller actually sent me the wrong umbrella. I contacted them and they quickly sent me the right one. Excellent customer service and good quality product. I’ll be returning in the future. Thank you!

This might be my new favorite portable light modifier. It collapses down to a reasonable size (about the same size as a lightstand), and when put together, is gigantic. I love the quality of light that you get with this.Is it an umbrella? Yep. So it's going to be a sail. You'll want someone to hold onto the light stand when using this ...or at least be nearby. It's also going to catch the wind like nobody's business.How does it compare to a softbox? Well, it's less expensive if you compare sizes. It's pretty easy to set up and take down too. You'll have to be the judge of whether it could replace a softbox for your lighting needs.But I like it. :)

I just had to have this. When I use it I may review it. (or I may not)

I used on one photo shoot so far but the results are very good. First, I used this in combination with a Westcott 45" silver umbrella in a clamshell-like setup. I shot away from the subject into the silver umbrella and that light then came back toward the subject through this big white diffusion umbrella. I was shooting in a field of sunflowers on a bright morning and I may have needed a more powerful light (lost a lot of stops bouncing and diffusing the light opposite the sun). I then removed the silver umbrella and shot straight through. I had slightly brighter light that way but still almost as soft as the first configuration. Finally, I used this product as a diffuser to soften direct sunlight on my subject. This umbrella gives you a lot of solutions for shooting on bright sunny days.

I've personally enjoyed using this. It's a great tool to have if you need a really Large soft beautiful light. The overall build quality is really good. I use it rather often during my corporate head shots. The light wraps around really beautifully.

This thing is HUGE but it's made a huge difference in my photography. Though its not practical in all situations the soft light I get from this is amazing. It has also come in handy as a diffuser in harsh outdoor lighting when my clients just refuse to book an outdoor session at a time that makes sense for photography. I wouldn't advise taking this out with you on a windy day though.

I have only had the umbrella out for a couple of shots, but it works like a champ. You get nice soft filtered light. I have a bigger shoot coming up and I will update the review if I encounter any issues. The carry bag is a classy touch. Yes a big, bright umbrella will attract bugs in the summer. I would add a photo if I could. It is a great product!

I have a large parabolic diffuser for my strobe.I never would have thought about having something similar to use outdoors as a scrim.The sturdy bar can withstand the weight and the occasional gust of wind, depending on the strength of your assistant.The best part of this product is the large area it covers. You can get rid of the hard light and diffuse a couple, vs. trying to adjust and squeeze in two people with a flat scrim.Highly recommend for photographers who shoot outdoors and care about soft diffused light.

I have been away from umbrellas for quite a while...moved to soft box modifiers to control the light. I was reviewing a Joel Grimes tutorial on studio lighting when he put up this monster! This Westcott product is wonderful. It throws a huge amount of soft light that is just pure cream on a subject. Purchased it right then and there!It takes up very little space in the carrying case and sets up in 30 seconds. As a shoot though or bounce it is a good piece of equipment. Price wise it is FAR less expensive than an octa-bank. The only down side is you should only use it in studio, I rather suspect if the wind caught it you would be in trouble, but at $99.00 it is easy to replace if you damage it. The build quality is very nice, fiberglass ribs with metal shaft, Westcott didn't cut corners here!I am going to purchase two more of these, however I recommend you get a diffusion panel to put over the open end of the umbrella to diffuse and soften the light even more. If you shoot portrait this is your baby!
