Aurora U160 Deep Umbrella (Silver)

$150.00 /day

An industrial-grade, giant 63-inch (160cm) highly reflective silver parabolic deep umbrella from Aurora Lite Bank, now available for premium gear rental in Hong Kong. Engineered to optimize strobe power output, casting punchy, crisp, long-distance contrast illumination over massive sets.

A 10% damage waiver fee will be applied to your order in the rental basket unless proof of own insurance can be supplied.

The Aurora U160 Deep Umbrella Silver (160cm) is an absolute high-output powerhouse in the arena of giant parabolic modifiers, making it a heavily demanded asset for renting in Hong Kong. Moving far beyond traditional, shallow oversized photographic umbrellas that scatter light uncontrollably and lose precious exposure stops, this premium 63-inch modifier features a highly pronounced, deep parabolic shape. Structured with 16 heavy-duty structural ribs tensioning the premium faceted reflective silver fabric, it maximizes your strobe’s raw output efficiency while allowing you to focus or flood the light beam simply by sliding the reinforced umbrella shaft within the lamp head sleeve.

When executing an equipment hire for large-scale commercial campaigns, dramatic sports motion, high-fashion editorials, or expansive group setups, maximizing light transmission and contrast is mandatory on HK production sets. The silver interior coating adds a beautiful, punchy metallic edge to highlights and crisp shadow rendering, carrying light efficiently over long distances. It bridges the gap between a massive wrapping softbox and the intense directional snap of a hard reflector. This premium Hong Kong rental modifier mounts natively onto any professional studio strobe utilizing an industry-standard 8mm umbrella shaft receiver.

Applicable Scenarios:

On-Location HK Fashion & Editorial Lookbooks: Creates a striking, high-contrast structural light that emphasizes bold garment draping, complex textures, and model facial structures across outdoor or studio sets in locations like Kwun Tong or Chai Wan.
Overpowering Harsh Midday Sun Outdoors: Acts as a powerful key source on wind-swept outdoor sets like Shek O or Sai Kung, maximizing battery flash efficiency with its silver mesh to cross out harsh natural sun shadows over large subject areas.
High-Contrast Sports & Motion Capture: Accentuates muscle definition, freezing action with crisp specular highlights and dramatic contrast tracking for local athletics and action campaigns.

Massive 63-Inch (160cm) Parabolic Architecture: Provides a giant, broad light source that yields spectacular full-body coverage with a highly controlled beam direction.
High-Reflective Faceted Silver Interior: Maximizes flash output intensity and throw efficiency, delivering a crisp, snappy light quality with deep shadow definition.
Variable Focal Spot Zooming: Seamlessly adjust your light character from a concentrated hard spot to a sweeping wall of light simply by shifting the umbrella shaft along the lamp head sleeve.
Heavy-Duty Structural Rib Construction: Engineered with high-strength, lightweight flexible rods that provide exceptional structural rigidity and resist catching wind on location.
Ultra-Fast Pop-Up Setup: Deploys and collapses in a matter of seconds, stripping down setup overhead compared to assembling traditional giant structural octaboxes.

(Note: This rental package covers the standalone deep silver umbrella modifier structure. Heavy-duty light stands, wireless transmitters, battery strobes, and flash lamp heads are available for rent separately at our HK studio.)

Q: What is the main visual difference between the Silver and White versions of the Aurora U160?
A: The White version scatters light evenly for a soft, uniform look with gradual shadow transitions. The Silver version acts as a giant hard reflector, maximizing light output power while producing punchier, crisper contrast, snappy specular highlights, and sharper shadow definitions.
Q: Can I use a standard lightweight travel stand for this extra-large umbrella?
A: Due to its massive 160cm diameter and structural volume, we strictly advise against using lightweight travel stands. For safety and stability on set, it should be mounted on a heavy-duty C-Stand or a robust rolling stand, heavily secured with sandbags, especially when deployed for outdoor location work in Hong Kong.
Q: Is the umbrella shaft compatible with standard Profoto, Broncolor, and Godox flash heads?
A: Yes. The Aurora U160 utilizes an industry-standard 8mm reinforced steel shaft, making it universally compatible with almost all professional flash units featuring a standard umbrella sleeve, including the Profoto B10 series, D2, Godox AD600 Pro, and standard umbrella bracket adapters.
Q: How is the rental fee calculated?
A: The rental fee is calculated on a 24-hour basis per rental period at Dream Scenes Studio Hong Kong.
Q: Is a deposit required?
A: Yes, a corresponding deposit is required for all equipment rentals in HK.
Q: What payment methods are accepted for the deposit?
A: We accept credit card authorization for the deposit, which is fast and convenient for local and international crews.
