Turn your umbrella into a high-end softbox in seconds.
The Profoto Umbrella Diffuser is a simple yet transformative accessory designed to fit over the front of Profoto Deep White or Deep Silver umbrellas. By adding this layer of high-quality diffusion, you effectively convert a reflective umbrella into a massive, shallow softbox.
Double Diffusion Quality: When used with a White or Silver umbrella, the light first bounces off the internal fabric and then passes through the diffuser. This creates an incredibly even, “edge-to-edge” light source with no hot spots.
Controlled Softness: It softens the “snap” of a Silver umbrella and increases the “wrap” of a White umbrella, making it ideal for high-end beauty, fashion, and portraiture.
Minimized Spill: By capping the front of the umbrella, it helps contain the light slightly more than an open umbrella, though its primary purpose is softening the output.
Ultra-Portable: Unlike a traditional softbox with rods and speedrings, the diffuser is just a piece of technical fabric that can be folded into a pocket, making it the ultimate solution for location photographers who need “softbox quality” without the bulk.
