Review on πŸ“Έ Neewer Detachable Photography Lighting Umbrella - White Convertible Umbrella with Reflective Silver Backing and Removable Black Cover - 59 inches/150 Centimeters by Christopher Hicks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for newborn photography and traveling to clients

After researching a lighting solution for newborn photography at home I discovered a super simple, easy and absolutely effective way to photograph this umbrella. I already had the light stand and bulb from the softbox I bought (the softbox was too small and hence the light was harsh) so all I had to do was add that and the stand adapter. I chose the 60" translucent Neewer umbrella over the 72" because I'm traveling to my clients' homes with my newborn and needed something as compact as possible, yet large enough to fit me give enough soft light. This applies to both! It's very light, about the same height as my tripod with adapter on top when fully folded, allowing me to pack it in the same bag for portability. I added weight to the stand to make it a little more secure. For less than $75 I have the perfect lighting kit for all my window lighting needs.

Pros
  • Camera and photo
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
