I bought this umbrella specifically for overseas travel to a huge family reunion. I did not want to risk breaking my more expensive light modifiers. This umbrella was not too small for group pictures. Nor was it too large to pack in my luggage. I used the bare white umbrella to soften the family portraits. And I also used the silver/black cover for more dramatic lighting with a eye toward fashion.
For the price, I did not expect it to be of durable material. So it came as no surprise that the umbrella bent soon as it fell to the floor. But it's hey, I could still shoot through it, and it's definitely better than either nothing or a small light modifier to light a huge group.
This is a practical starter kit for budget-minded beginning strobes who are just learning about off-camera lighting.
