Overview
Powerful, Directional Light with a Wrap-Around Quality
The Nanlite Silver Deep Umbrella 135 is designed for photographers and filmmakers who want more control and contrast than a traditional shallow umbrella can provide.
Its highly reflective silver interior maximises the output of your light source, producing punchy, contrasty illumination with crisp detail. The result is a strong, defined quality of light that works particularly well for portraits, fashion, commercial photography and video production.
Deep Design for Greater Control
With a 22-inch (approximately 56 cm) deep profile, the Silver Deep Umbrella 135 offers greater directional control than a standard umbrella while still producing a useful wrap-around quality of light.
The deeper shape also makes it easier to feather the light, allowing you to control where the light falls within your scene and helping to reduce unwanted spill.
Adjustable Light Position
The light source can be positioned at different points along the umbrella's shaft. Moving the light closer to or further away from the reflective surface allows you to focus or de-focus the light, giving you greater control over contrast, coverage and the overall character of the illumination.
This makes the Silver Deep Umbrella 135 a particularly versatile modifier when you need to fine-tune your lighting rather than simply set it up and shoot.
Strong, Stable Construction
The umbrella features a 16-rod fibreglass construction designed to maintain its deep shape and provide an even spread of reflected light.
The 8 mm shaft is compatible with umbrella mounts on most LED fixtures, strobes and continuous lights, making the modifier useful across a range of lighting systems.
While designed for use with Nanlite's P-Series LED monolights, its near-universal shaft makes it suitable for a wide variety of compatible lighting equipment.
