The Glow EZ Lock 33" BLACK/WHITE Deep Umbrella sports a dynamic parabolic shape with an unbeatable safe and sure EZ positive and lock system. No more open up and close down umbrella frustration or fumbling! The newly designed locking device surrounds the shaft, providing a comfortable place to slide the umbrella mechanism to open, and a generous wide button to release the shoot, painlessly. This midsized edition of the Deep Umbrella is especially suitable for everything from fashion to portraiture, illuminating head and shoulders, with smooth, and nonetheless, exciting light. White makes it easy to achieve gentle highlights, brings out sharp details, and provides the most diffused indirect lighting, along with soft shadow definition. Perfect for directed light output, warm skin tones, creating subtle contrasts. With much attention to minutia in its tough build, from resilient fabric to fiberglass frame ribs, this umbrella sets the standard for portable light control for people and subjects. It has a black opaque cover layer, limiting the light loss that naturally occurs through its interior white fabric material. Choose this white interior finish if you are seeking an umbrella that acts as a fill or key light. As with all fine Glow products , this umbrella comes packaged in a fitted, durable fabric pouch, which protects it during transport and storage, and will not grow hard and crack like traditional, plastic umbrella casings
