Review on LimoStudio Lighting Umbrellas Translucent Umbrella by Gin Bajema

I bought this set together with 2 Neewer Professional Universal E Type Camera Flash Speedlite Mount Swivel Light Stand Bracket Umbrella Holder Fits Canon Nikon Pentax Olympus Nissin Metz and other speedlites with standard shoe mount. a couple of foldable tripods to work with and also bought an Altura Photo Studio Pro flash kit for a CANON DSLR. Pack of 2 E-TTL AP-C1001 flashes, a set of dual wireless flash triggers and accessories to create a complete portable lighting kit for quick outdoor work. Advance. These umbrellas do the job, they are lightweight and predictably easy to open and close like any other umbrella. The light is well diffused when the umbrellas are between the flash and the subject, and subtly reflects when used as a bouncer. .The reason for the 4 star rating is that the metal spokes of umbrellas are incredibly brittle and bend easily. You have to be really careful with them and make sure your lamp stand is weighted down or secured if you use them in a situation where they might pick up the wind or tip over. I had a fall and two spokes bent immediately. If they bend again, they'll break at the bend, I guarantee that. Given the price and easy portability, you can't go wrong.
