Transform your umbrella into a professional softbox – meet the Godox DPU series covers

Precise light control and greater contrast

Why have reflecting covers for parabolic umbrellas gained such huge popularity among portrait, fashion, and product photographers? The key lies in their ability to instantly change the lighting characteristics. A standard diffusion umbrella disperses light nicely throughout the room, but it often causes uncontrolled light leaks onto the background or studio walls. Putting a cover with a silver interior and a black outer skin on it ensures that the entire light beam is directed exclusively forward. The silver coating inside effectively reflects and enhances the light, giving it a distinct contrast and a beautiful catchlight in the model's eye, while the black material on the outside effectively blocks unwanted reflections. This way, a simple umbrella turns into a multi-functional modifier within seconds, functioning like a large, softly glowing softbox.

Mobility and convenience that you will appreciate outdoors and in the studio

The main advantage of this type of accessory is exceptional mobility while maintaining full control over the light beam. Classic parabolic softboxes can be heavy, complicated to assemble, and take up a lot of space in a camera bag, which can be cumbersome during outdoor sessions. The fabric cover is extremely lightweight, folds down to a small size, and does not put any strain on the tripod structure. Thanks to this, a photographer can take one essential tool into the field and modify its properties depending on the needs of a specific shot. This solution saves not only the time needed to set up the photoshoot, but also the budget, as it eliminates the need to purchase and transport many separate modifiers.

Godox DPU series – perfect fit for every size

In response to creators' needs, the brand has created a dedicated line of Godox DPU series covers, designed perfectly for the brand's parabolic umbrellas. The offer includes four size variants, which allows for precise matching to your equipment and the nature of the photos taken. The compact Godox DPU-85BS model works great in tight spaces, for business portraits, and tight frames. Another variant, Godox DPU-105BS, is an exceptionally versatile proposition for waist-up portrait and fashion photos. For creators needing a wide, soft light beam for full silhouettes, larger models have been prepared, such as Godox DPU-130BS and the impressive Godox DPU-165BS, which perfectly illuminates large sets and group sessions. Each of these covers is characterized by careful workmanship from durable material, which guarantees a long lifespan and a perfect fit to the umbrella canopy.
