Aurora U160 Deep Umbrella (White)

$150.00 /day

An industrial-grade, giant 63-inch (160cm) white parabolic deep umbrella from Aurora Lite Bank, now available for premium gear rental in Hong Kong. Engineered to provide a massive wall of diffuse, wrap-around soft light with excellent directional control for high-end studio and location 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 White (160cm) is an absolute champion in the arena of giant, diffuse light-shaping modifiers, making it an incredibly prized asset for renting in Hong Kong. Moving far beyond traditional, shallow oversized photographic umbrellas that spill uncontrolled stray light across a studio, this premium 63-inch masterclass modifier features a highly pronounced, deep parabolic geometry. Structured with 16 robust heavy-duty ribs tensioning the premium technical fabric, it allows you to precisely track, focus, or flag your light throw simply by sliding the reinforced umbrella shaft back and forth within your flash head sleeve.

When executing an equipment hire for high-stakes fashion campaigns, corporate portraits, or video interview setups, generating a massive yet flattering key source is mandatory on HK production sets. The white interior lining delivers a beautifully soft, uniform wall of creamy illumination that wraps naturally around your subjects, smoothing skin micro-textures while throwing natural, round catchlights into your subject’s eyes. It perfectly bridges the gap between a bulky overhead scrim frame and the lightning-fast assembly of a collapsible umbrella. This premium Hong Kong rental modifier mounts natively onto any professional studio strobe utilizing an integrated 8mm umbrella shaft receiver.

Applicable Scenarios:

On-Location HK Fashion & Editorial Campaigns: Delivers a giant, flawless wrapping light that effortlessly coats models and full-body wardrobe pieces, highlighting delicate textures without creating harsh shadow drop-offs on outdoor or studio sets.
Multi-Person Group & Corporate Portraiture: Provides a massive pool of uniform illumination that spans cleanly across large corporate teams inside tight office spaces in Central or studios in Kwun Tong.
Cinematic Hybrid Video Interviews: Creates an exceptionally soft, wrap-around key light that allows subjects to move freely within a scene without causing drastic changes in exposure tracking.

Massive 63-Inch (160cm) Footprint: Provides a giant, broad light source that yields incredibly soft transitions and effortless full-body wrapping light profiles.
Pronounced Deep Parabolic Geometry: 16-rib framework creates a much deeper parabolic profile than standard umbrellas, offering unparalleled control over beam concentration and spill flagging.
Creamy White Interior Coating: Absorbs harsh specular direct flare, transforming raw flash output into a beautifully diffuse, uniform, and forgiving illumination pattern.
Variable Focal Spot Zooming: Seamlessly adjust your light character from a concentrated soft 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.

(Note: This rental package covers the standalone deep white 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: 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: Does this white deep umbrella create hot-spots in the center of the light beam?
A: The premium matte white interior coating of the Aurora U160 is specifically engineered to diffuse flash output evenly, reducing harsh specular center hot-spots significantly compared to silver interior umbrellas. It delivers an exceptionally smooth, uniform wash from edge to edge.
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.
