Compare our umbrellas
Simple and straightforward to use, umbrellas spread soft diffused light over larger surface areas.
The wide-angle internal reflector within each Elinchrom Light source smoothly illuminates the complete surface of all Elinchrom umbrellas, thanks in part to the exceptional quality of our carefully selected fabrics.
