Built-in Cooling Fan and Heat Sink: this allows for Heat dispersion and prevents the unit from overheating.

130cm Parabolic Umbrella
Parabolic Shape: This umbrella, features a deep, parabolic design, which focuses the light more efficiently, enabling the light to travel further than it can with traditional umbrellas.
Soft, Diffused Lighting: Thanks to its large size and white interior, this umbrella produces super-soft, diffused lighting, ideal for general fill, or for more natural-looking lighting.
Durable Fibreglass Frame: The 59" Translucent White Umbrella’s frame is made from 16 fibreglass, which makes this umbrella lightweight yet durable. Since the fibreglass frame is flexible, it is less susceptible to getting bent out of shape.
Detachable Diffuser: The umbrella comes with a removable diffuser, for lighting that is softer and more even. It is also great for reducing any unwanted specular highlights.
5in1 Reflector
5 Surfaces in 1 Reflector: The 5in1 Reflector enables you to bounce the light from your main light source to fill in any unwanted shadows. It features 2x interchangeable surfaces all of which produce different effects:
BLACK - Absorbs light and prevents uncontrolled reflections from falling onto your subject. Perfect for when you want to increase contrast when shooting dramatic black and white portraits.
WAVY/SOFT GOLD - wavy golden coating for fine, warm light characteristic with a light colour like the sun. It provides less gold effect than a pure gold reflector.
SILVER - Increases contrast and highlights. Silver is great for accentuating detail and gives off the brightest reflection.
TRANSLUCENT - Can be used either as a reflector to bounce light back at your subject or can be used as a diffuser to soften the effects of harsh light. Ideal for when you are shooting out in the midday sun.
WHITE - Produces soft, more natural diffused light. Ideal for when you need to keep the colour temperature of the reflected light consistent with that of your ambient/main light.
Reflector Arm
Fully Articulated: This Reflector arm features a ball and socket joint, which enables you to position your reflector in virtually any direction you require.
Telescopic Arm: The reflector arm can be extended anywhere between 65cm and 122cm, making it ideal for use with a wide range of reflectors.
Light Stands
3-Tier Extension: making it collapsible to a height of 75cm and fully extending to 240cm.
Air Cushioned Dampening System: this helps to prevent any sudden drops to minimise the risk of damage to your equipment or causing injury to yourself.
Thick Sturdy Central column: can be lowered down to be used as a fourth leg, offering extra stability.
Interchangeable Spigot: comes with the most popular universal 1/4" and 3/8” thread which makes it easy to use with other units up to 5kg.
