"How I use it: I generally shoot with available light, and when I do use artificial light, I use a single strobe setup with this umbrella. Things that are great: It's really compact, like a travel umbrella (the kind for rain), and when it's open, it's just as sturdy as a single-folding umbrella.

"So Adorama has had made their version of this umbrella with a big ugly logo on it. It's not cheaper than the original, but the points are sharper and I wouldn't use it aroung children.

Westcott Collapsible Umbrella - Optical White - 43" Review
Pros
Cons
Best Uses
"The folded size is great for location, and it works like a charm. I got two of them, and I think I will get one more. Use it with a small stand like a Manfrotto Nano and you got a great location kit, light and ready for just about anything. "

"I love it that its so compact.
However, having heard from others how easily the legs bent, I have been very careful handling it. Stick a pencil into the shaft to strengthen it and prevent the shaft from denting. I'd love it even better if it can stand up to normal levels of abuse. Thats the pric
