5.0 out of 5 stars Massive Light, Soft Results: The Best Value Parabolic Umbrella (Focuses on the size and value)

2026-02-09    -Chriss Gomz

I recently added the NEEWER 71-inch (180cm) Parabolic Reflective Umbrella to my lighting kit, and it has absolutely elevated the quality of my portrait and video work. For photographers and videographers looking to achieve beautifully soft, wrapping light, this modifier is a game-changer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very impressed.

Very easy to use and put together the white interior creates a nice soft shadow. It does come with its own diffuser cover, which I wasn’t expecting, but it’s nice to have.! I love this for its ease of use. I need to move this one around a lot so it’ll be opening and closing a I love this for it’s ease-of-use. I need to move this one around a lot so it’ll be opening and closing a lot and it seems pretty sturdy so it should last a while. In the past, I’ve used a more expensive brand for this, but considering how much I move this one around and that it’s prone to damage I thought I would try a cheaper brand and I’m very happy with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product. Great quality of bounce.

I think this has become my new fav modifer for both still photography and motion picture filmmaking applications. I use this to achieve a soft quality of light for interview setups and also when I'm doing studio portrait jobs. Great for headshots! Very versatile modifer. I love the size as well. It's huge enough to get you a big soft source but also isn't that deep like a traditional softbox that takes up more depth in your space. The carrying bag could have been made with a higher quality material though and a little more space for the diffusion rag itself. It also has a weird odor so I think the diffusion may need to be washed to get rid of that smell. All in all it's a great product and I'm loving it!

Huge umbrella for nice soft diffusion. Quality and ease of assembly makes it worth the price. Versatile for overhead photography or direct flash.

The size doesn't match, it's smaller

5.0 out of 5 stars It's big. (Like really big). Great for the price.

Turns out this thing was actually too big for what we needed it for (actor headshots) but it does what is advertised. It's big, the fabric diffuses the light nicely, and feels relatively durable for the price. Competitors could come in at hundreds of dollars. If you just need a large diffusion umbrella in a pinch, this will work just fine. Durability will probably be an issue if you are using it for a heavy professional environment where gear gets moved all the time.Keep in mind that as the diffusion or reflective surface gets larger, you will need a more powerful light. My Godox 60w light is almost too weak to make the most of this umbrella.
