75in ULM Silver Reflective Umbrella (plm)

If you had to choose a single light shaping tool, you might do well to pick the 75in ULM Silver Reflective Umbrella.  First of all, it’s a huge broad light source that wraps light around your subject, yielding clean highlights and rich open shadows. Also, due to the special shape of the umbrella, there’s a unique mix of soft enveloping light with the kind of crisp detail you only get from reflectors. To put it another way, if you combined a beauty dish with a softbox, you’d have the 75in ULM.

The 75in ULM Silver umbrella is perfect for everyday use with various subjects as it bounces the light from the flash unit, retaining high efficiency with a wide angle of coverage. Also, the silver fabric produces a controlled, feathered falloff with very soft shadows, perfectly round catchlights and an added specular punch over the white ULM umbrellas. Plus, you also have the option of using it with the optional diffusion cover for an even more amazing light. Perfect for Newborns, Groups, and any other photography where you need a nice even light with feathered fall off.

This umbrella has a unique structural design as well. The shaft is reinforced for strength and instead of bendable metal, the 16 inner ribs are made of durable fiberglass.

While some companies measure the arc of an umbrella to give you a deceptively large number, we measure ours across the opening, as with any other light modifier. Our 75in ULM is the same size as what others sell as an 86″. 

Advantages

Improved Locking Mechanism
Improved locking mechanism provides fast, secure, and “finger-friendly” set up and break down.

Parabolic Shape
The parabolic shape produces a more natural wraparound light than a regular umbrella. This soft and natural light is what makes this umbrella a favorite of wedding and portrait photographers.

Wide Diameter
The 7-foot (arc measurement) diameter ensures a soft light quality. This umbrella produces enough light for stunning group photos. It will also emit a broad enough beam for full-length portraits.

Silver Interior
A highly reflective silver ripstop nylon lines the umbrella’s interior. It produces maximum light output that’s great for studio or outdoor shooting where more contrast or specular highlights are wanted. Often used by fashion photographers for its punchy light.

16-Rib Design
For an umbrella to be effective, it needs to maintain its shape, and the fabric should remain taut. The umbrella features a 16-rib design that maintains the shape of the umbrella and the tension of the fabric for an even light spread.
