[1.3 lb] This is a well constructed umbrella. It feels even better that the two small white umbrellas that came with my D1 Air kit, and those aren't bad either. I also got the optional back panel for it, and am impressed with how versatile this tool is. I picked the medium size because it will pack nicely in my 2x D1 kit.One thing to note is that when shooting through this medium umbrella with the back panel attached, and it's hanging directly under the light, the D1 needs a little help keeping the umbrella from slipping out because of its weight and slick tubing. I twisted up a rubber band and put it on the shaft as a stop. I was also able to loop the cinch-cord for the back panel around the D1's handle, so it can work in that configuration without assistance as well.

[1.3 lb] Because I do a broad range of on site photography I recently purchased a set of umbrellas in various sizes made by Profoto. Though I had not used any of their products the reviews looked good but I was skeptical about the higher cost. I sometimes shoot in small locations with wood stained walls which are not desirable to bounce flash from so I started with the 33 inch white. These umbrellas were so much better made than anything that I had previously used that I decided to try replacing an old set of soft boxes with another set of Profoto's larger silver deep dish with diffusers. I now have two small white 33 deep dish, one medium silver 41 deep dish w/diffuser panel and one large silver 51 w/diffuser panel to cover various size sets and they are much more durable, better constructed and offer a nice reflection of light. The deep dish design allows for better control of light and feathering and add the diffuser to silver umbrella for an alternative to soft boxes with much quicker and easier set up/tear down and compact portability. I have used all of these umbrellas in my studio with good results and plan to carry them for on location photography. Both the umbrellas and the diffuser panels come in their own pre-labeled, individual durable protective cases and can be easily packed into your light stand case. Pricey but worth the $$.

[1.3 lb] I used it for the first time yesterday The final image has a nice contrast and 'clean' colours. Nice size. Perfect for the B1s.

[1.3 lb] They last a long time so you don't have to spend money replacing it

[1.3 lb] Got this as my first one to see what the difference is ... yes, you pay for the Profoto brand, but the product lives up to it ... so far.

Spent years with umbrellas failing after moderate use. These umbrellas are better built and seem to use better materials ... we'll see. The proof will be apparent late on.

[1.3 lb] I like a large, semi-controlled light source without the hassle of assembling light boxes. Most shallow umbrellas spray light everywhere and reduce the efficiency of the strobe. The umbrella packs conveniently in with my light stands and allows for quick set-up and tear-down. It lacks the control of a softbox with a grid but that is not always necessary. For location work where time is a factor, it does a great job. I have a smaller sized deep umbrella made years ago and the two work together well. It is a quality made product. I wish a smaller size was available.

[1.3 lb] Meh, an umbrella is an umbrella ... or so I thought. These new Profoto Deep Umbrellas are step above.

Well made and solid feeling I suspect these will last much longer than previous umbrellas I've used. Very robust opening and locking device and the translucent material is better than others.

Expensive as usual with Profoto, but I'm learning that it's worth it in the long run.

[1.3 lb] I gotta admit, the profoto build is exceptional.

[1.3 lb] I purchased this umbrella with the small diffuser. The construction is what you'd expect from Profoto. Great materials with a solid feel. It comes with a nice protective case. It's easy to open and setup with my D1 Air. Sure there are other, cheaper alternatives but I figured I'd buy something of quality once and not have to worry about it. Let's just hope I'm not eating my words!

[1.3 lb] Perfect for diffusion of Profoto B1 & B2. Quck set up too. Very good build quality - which you pay for.
