Review on πŸ”³ White Parabolic Front Diffusion Cover: Westcott 4631D by Will Kern

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great addition to a great mod

Great option for any 7ft parabola. I bought one for each of my two meter Westcott umbrellas (one is silver and the other is white). You may lose some light, but the cover turns your umbrella into a massive softbox. The hole in the center of the diffusion cap is big enough for my Alien Bees to fit through. Here's a tip for installing the cover - don't try to put it on an open and secured umbrella (you don't have enough arms to reach both sides). Instead, take a closed umbrella and insert it through the hole in the diffusion cap with the tip of the umbrella pointing toward the ground. When the umbrella is completely out of the hole, grab your other hand and slowly open the umbrella. The edges of the umbrella press the elastic evenly from all sixteen sides when opening, and the diffusion cover is tightened on all sides when closing.

Pros
  • Single point diffused light
Cons
  • Not sure
