LimoStudi [2 Pack] 46 inch Diameter Double Layer Black & Silver Photo Studio Umbrella Light Reflector, Diffuser, Highlighted Concentrated Light Production for Professional Photo Video Studio, LMS127

Being a photo/video noob, I really didn't know what to expect, or whether to get silver or white. But I wanted to maximize my light in one direction and these umbrellas did the trick. Am using with the Alzo 45 watt, 5500K CFLs for occasional home videos. You can adjust the focal distance for diffused or more narrow lighting. Might not stand up to daily pro-on-the-go use, but they seem very well made and are more than sufficient for the photo/video hobbyist. Needless to say, the shafts are thin, so don't over-tighten the set-screw in your lamp/umbrella holder or you'll dent the shaft.They didn't come with a travel case (not expected, at this price), but do have clear plastic sleeves for tidy storage, and should easily fit into a light-stand bag. The only thing else I could wish for is the white cloth that goes around the light and the umbrella, making a soft box, but that's easy to make, if needed.At about $14 for 2, I'm very pleased!

It is what it is. A decent, very cheap reflector umbrella. Will it last forever? No. The frame wire is pretty cheap, but at these prices, you can buy a replacement or two or have these as backups for your primary gear. Got exactly what I expected and am very pleased.

These seem good, typical photo umbrella in my opinion, they will do the job for a great price

I really like these. Didn't realize how much more room they would take up though. I use these for lighting my green screen. I like the fact there is very little light spill back towards me when I am on camera. Really happy with the results especially when you consider the price. If you are cramped for space get the 33" version. I think I will be buying the smaller size (33") just to have them when filming in tight spaces. I bought these to swap out the white umbrellas that came with the LimoStudio soft lighting kit because of the light spill.And when I was in Anaheim at a conference we got caught in a downpour with no umbrella...guess what? they also double as great umbrellas in a pinch...

With these reflective umbrellas the center shaft is over the full length of the umbrella closed. So when open and mounted to a light/bracket there is a LOT of shaft poking through and will want to be cautious when setting up and moving around people. Used them at a wedding recently, and while the light pattern has a few hotspots they do a nice job reflecting.Good price for the money, but I might be trimming the center shaft at home..

I bought these for an outdoor photoshoot. They look nice and will justify an upcharge that will pay for them in under 1 gig- but one of the umbrellas inverted and totally broke once the wind unexpected kicked up. Try and keep these in-studio if you can. At price points this cheap its still better value than renting.

When I opened them they were all stuck together on the inside silver. They peeled and have chunks of the silver missing and stuck to other spots. Both umbrellas did this.

Work great. Only had for a short time and the metallic is already chipping off. I do use them a lot and I travel so they are taken out and put away often. For a permanent studio I'm sure they are great. For my traveling studio I need sturdier ones.
