CowboyStudio 33 inch Black and Gold Photo Studio Umbrella

The gold foil warms the strobe or speedlight color which is great for shooting people. The size is perfect for a speedlight set up and just a bit small for a studio strobe but still works well.Construction is good. I have been using mine for nearly three years without any breakdown of frame or material.

Very good quality for the price... it's a sturdy shaft, well made umbrella with good seams on the fabric. I do a lot of location shooting, and tend to go through umbrella modifiers a bit heavily (they are usually my choice if conditions are windy or poor). It's good to find a well made one for not too much money. The gold inner fabric is rather light and all things being equal, I might lean towards something a bit deeper in shade, but everyone will have their own preferences in those regards.

ORDERED = 04/07/2016 || SELLER = WildWestStudio || PAID = $9.95(Beware of Seller changes! That's how you can get burned!)SUPER USEFUL, THE GOLD TONE IS PERFECT > it is just a gold umbrella though...FFor the prime price it's cool & the material is strong and thick.Umbrella feels little cheap, but the material makes up for it.Gives a nice skin tone & a must for most light setups ;)

Don't often write reviews even though I often need to return items because of wrong size or not up to par quality. This time, Im just frustrated. I bought a Cowboys Studio 43" gold photo umbrella back in 2014. It is still in excellent condition, good quality, good reflection, smooth good reflective surface both for the light and it also looks GREAT!Forward to 2022, wanted to have an additional umbrella exactly the same so I chose to use the buy it again feature on Amazon. This is a Cowboy Studio produce but sold directly through Amazon.com LLC which puts the whole responsibility on Amazon. It arrived quickly as usual, but upon opening the box I could already tell it was not the right size. It is at best 40" in diameter which is a huge difference in this type of product. The inside reflective material looked like someone had crumbled a piece of aluminum and stretched it out again. Very bad reflective material. I wish in their effort to ship things out quickly Amazon would not forego any sort of quality control. Very disappointing.

After waiting for my second gold/black umbrella to be delivered..There was a delay in shipping as they explained in an email they sent me I placed the order in time to allow for error just in case!! To my surprise I received a black/white which is fine if that's what you need! However I did not need it and now my time is down to the wire no time for return and wait game. :(

Works as hoped and a nice reasonably constructed alternative to big dollar versions. Great for a grab & go kit, occasional use or if you want something to use everyday for 6-months or so...might last forever but won't know unless I use it all the time, which I won't. All in all I'm happy with this one for sure.

Well I bought this for my son and he enjoys it. No issues with seller, the umbrella was as advertised.The gold reflector reflects gold or yellow light and the images made are warmer. The black is just a light shield so all the light reflects out. The white one's allow a portion of light to escape out the back which it should do.His movies look good or pictures he takes so we are happy.

Love this umbrella works great for what l do would recommend great price
