This falcon eyes flash umbrella has a transparent, golden and silver cover. by using the different covers, it's possible to use the flash umbrella as a diffuser-umbrella or a reflection-umbrella. when used as a diffuser-umbrella, you can use it to reflect soft light. besides that it has the possibility to flash through the material to create a softbox effect. when used as a reflection umbrella, it can be used to create an indirect soft lighting effect. an umbrella with a golden coating inside reflects "warm" light and an umbrella with a silver inside reflects fairly "hard" light. due to the large size of the flash umbrella, the light scatters in an ideal way. because of its size, we recommend to use a stable light stand. In order to use the flash umbrella on a light stand, the falcon eyes tilting bracket cld-11 or the falcon eyes tilting bracket cld-15 (optional) can be used (see "optional accessories"). Features: diffuus-white, golden and silver covers tube diameter 8 mm solid construction can be used for most studio flashes and continuous lighting foldable and easy to carry
