Profoto Umbrella Deep Translucent S (Small, 33") The Ultra-Portable Modifier for Soft, Omnidirectional Light When you need the incredibly forgiving, natural wrap of a shoot-through modifier but want more structural control than a standard, flat umbrella provides, the Profoto Umbrella Deep Translucent S is the perfect tool for the job. Its deeper parabolic shape gives you superior control over the spread of the light, making it a staple for fast-paced wedding, event, and portrait photographers. At 33 inches (85 cm) in diameter, the "Small" version is highly portable. Because it is a translucent umbrella, you shoot the flash directly through the fabric. This acts like a giant diffuser, creating beautifully soft, low-contrast light that flatters skin tones while allowing some light to spill backward, raising the ambient exposure of the entire room. Why You'll Love This Modifier Deep Parabolic Shape: The deeper profile isn't just for looks. It allows you to focus the light simply by sliding the umbrella shaft in and out of your flash head, giving you precise control over how wide or narrow the light beam spreads across your subject. Soft, Forgiving Light: As a shoot-through modifier, it produces an incredibly gentle, low-contrast light with very soft shadow transitions. It is incredibly forgiving, meaning you don't have to be perfectly precise with your light placement to get a flattering portrait. Perfect Circular Catchlights: Designed with 16 lightweight fiberglass rods, this umbrella maintains a perfectly round shape. This ensures the reflections (catchlights) in your subject's eyes look entirely natural, mimicking the sun rather than leaving artificial, polygon-shaped reflections. Instant Location Setup: It opens and collapses exactly like a standard rain umbrella. There are no speedrings or metal tension rods to wrestle with, making it one of the fastest modifiers you can possibly deploy on a location shoot. Optional Backpanel: If you want to stop light from spilling backward into the room, you can purchase the optional Profoto Backpanel (essentially a black fabric cap). This instantly converts the umbrella into a fast-deploying softbox. Technical Specifications Specification Detail Size / Diameter Small: 85 cm / 33 inches Modifier Type Translucent (Shoot-Through) Shape Deep Parabolic (16-sided) Rod Material Flexible, lightweight fiberglass Shaft Diameter 8mm (Standard Profoto compatibility) Fabric Heat-resistant, high-quality diffusion material Folded Length Approx. 61 cm / 24 inches Weight Approx. 0.45 kg / 1.0 lbs Things to Note Because this is a translucent shoot-through modifier, it inherently scatters light in all directions. While this is fantastic for softly illuminating a subject and filling a dark room with ambient light, it is not ideal if you need precise spill control to keep light off a background. If you need more directional punch and contrast without scattering light behind the flash, a Silver or White bounce umbrella would be a better choice. Additionally, the 8mm shaft is natively compatible with standard Profoto monolights (like the D2, B10, and B1X). If you intend to use this umbrella with Profoto's smaller, compact A-series speedlights (like the A10 or A2), you will need to mount it using the Profoto Clic OCF Adapter II or a separate umbrella bracket. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Why Shop With Camera Exchange?
