- Protects Flash Tube and Modeling Lamp
- Diffuses FJ400 Light Output
Product Description
Employing a distinct design, the 53" Apollo Deep Umbrella from Westcott combines a soft quality of light with control over the output which is exceptional for an umbrella modifier. The depth of the light-shaper "focuses" the light, so while it disperses it like other umbrellas do, it also has a sharper cut-off. It provides control over where the light falls and maximizes output, making it suitable for long throw work. Unlike rectangular softboxes, the Apollo provides the benefit of natural-looking catchlights in the eyes of your subject. Made to last, the Apollo has 16 durable fiberglass ribs and a dual-walled 8mm metal shaft that fits nearly all flash heads, and it fits speedlights using a separately purchased swivel stand mount with an umbrella receptacle.
Precise and Direct Lighting
The Apollo Deep Umbrella features a deep profile and rigid framework, ensuring an even and direct light throw, making it perfect for impressive portrait photography.
Natural-Looking Catchlights
With its 16-rod round design, the Apollo Deep Umbrella creates natural-looking catchlights in your subject's eyes, enhancing portraiture without distracting reflections.
Ideal for On-the-Go Photographers
Designed with a flexible framework and quick setup, these modifiers are perfect for busy photographers. Each Apollo umbrella packs up quickly and fits easily into any gear bag for effortless travel and storage.
Control Focus and Output
The reflective, white-interior deep umbrellas provide softer light compared to the highly-reflective silver interior. You can control the light's focus and achieve your desired look by adjusting the position of your light source on the deep umbrella.
Easy to Mount
Whether using strobes or monolights, most studio lights come with a built-in umbrella receptacle for instant mounting. For speedlights, various mounting brackets with adjustable and tiltable options are available for precise positioning.
