130cm" Parabolic Umbrella
Parabolic Shape: This umbrella, features a deep, parabolic design, which focuses the light more efficiently, enabling the light to travel further than it can with traditional umbrellas.
Soft, Diffused Lighting: Thanks to its large size and white interior, this umbrella produces super-soft, diffused lighting, ideal for general fill, or for more natural-looking lighting.
Durable Fibreglass Frame: The 59" Translucent White Umbrella’s frame is made from 16 fibreglass, which makes this umbrella lightweight yet durable. Since the fibreglass frame is flexible, it is less susceptible to getting bent out of shape.
Detachable Diffuser: The umbrella comes with a removable diffuser, for lighting that is softer and more even. It is also great for reducing any unwanted specular highlights.
60cm 5in1 Reflector
Five Looks with one reflector: The 5-in-1 reflector comes with covers that simply go over the reflector to give more options, these come in black, gold, silver, white and translucent white. Each of which has different effects, to help modify your lighting how you see fit:
BLACK - Absorbs light to prevent any stray bounced light from falling onto the subject. Perfect for increasing contrast when shooting dramatic black and white portraits.
GOLD - Golden coating for fine, warm light characteristic with a light colour like the setting sun.
SILVER - Increases specular highlights and pro. Silver is great for accentuating detail and gives off the brightest reflection.
TRANSLUCENT - Can be used either as a reflector to bounce light back at your subject or can be used as a diffuser to soften the effects of harsh light. Ideal for when you are shooting out in the midday sun.
WHITE - Produces subtle, more natural diffused light. Ideal for when you need to keep the colour temperature of the reflected light consistent with that of your ambient/main light.
240cm Air Cushioned Stand

Regular Light Stand and Boom Stand in One: The 2in1 Boom stand features a special hinged joint, which allows the top two sections of the stand to come out from the main central column and be converted into a boom stand. This enables you to position your lights from above your subject, without the central column of the stand getting in the way. Perfect for Butterfly or clamshell lighting. When the boom is not required, simply insert the boom back into the central column to use it as a regular light stand.
