Review on πŸŒ‚ Neewer 33" Translucent White Soft Umbrella for Professional Studio Lighting (Pack of 3) by Nigel Cohen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cheap translucent umbrellas!

Not as big as I expected but for the price of 2 pack for $15 they are great. I usually use reflective umbrellas, but I've recently bought battery powered flashlights (NEEWER Vision 4) that have no connectivity. I wanted to save on batteries so I went with translucent umbrellas as they use less light than reflective ones. The light is almost as soft as a softbox, much better than the reflective umbrellas I've used before. The only downside is that you have less control over the light reflecting around the room. The light is less focused and spreads everywhere. Since I was filming in the school gym, it wasn't a problem for me. I found them large enough to give a soft, flat light for headshots (2 lights about 15 degrees apart). I didn't really use these for anything more spectacular, but they worked well enough for what I needed at the time. For $15 they're disposable. Looks like they're reasonably reliable, but time will tell. Pelican 1600 case, along with my NEEWER Vision 4 compact stands and lights.

Pros
  • Lighting
Cons
  • I really don't like anything everything is fine
