Godox UB-165D Umbrella

$100.00 /day

An affordable yet premium extra-large 65-inch (165cm) translucent parabolic deep umbrella from Godox, now available for premium gear rental in Hong Kong. Designed to function as a massive shoot-through diffuser or a high-efficiency soft-wrapping reflective source on location.

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

The Godox UB-165D Translucent Deep Umbrella (165cm) is an absolute champion in the arena of giant, soft ambient lighting modifiers, making it an incredibly popular asset for renting in Hong Kong. Moving far beyond traditional, shallow oversized photographic umbrellas that spill uncontrolled stray light across a studio, this premium 65-inch modifier features a highly pronounced, deep parabolic geometry. Engineered with 16 structural ribs tensioning the high-grade white translucent technical fabric, it allows you to precisely track, focus, or flag your light scatter simply by sliding the reinforced umbrella shaft back and forth within your strobe head chassis.

When executing an equipment hire for run-and-gun fashion editorials, corporate portraits, or video interview setups, generating a massive yet ultra-flattering key source is mandatory on HK production sets. The translucent mesh material offers dual-mode operational flexibility on set: it can be used as a standard reflective soft modifier, or flipped completely around as a massive shoot-through diffusion panel. It transforms harsh direct flash output into a beautifully uniform wall of creamy, window-like illumination that naturally wraps around your subjects and smooths skin textures. This premium Hong Kong rental package mounts natively onto any professional studio strobe utilizing an integrated 8mm umbrella shaft sleeve.

Applicable Scenarios:

On-Location HK Beauty & Bridal Portraits: Creates a dream-like, diffuse wrap-around light that highlights delicate dress textures while throwing natural, round catchlights into your subject’s eyes, perfect for outdoor sets in locations like Sheung Wan or Sai Kung.
Large Group & Corporate Portraiture: Provides a massive wall of uniform shoot-through illumination that spans cleanly across large corporate teams inside tight office spaces in Central or Kwun Tong studios.
Cinematic Video Interviews & Overheads: Functions as a featherlight, rapidly deployed alternative to hauling heavy scrim frames and butterfly textiles when filming continuous hybrid photo/video content.

Massive 65-Inch Extra-Large Footprint: Provides a giant, broad light source that yields incredibly soft transitions and effortless full-body wrapping light profiles.
Dual-Mode Translucent Architecture: Functions seamlessly as both a high-efficiency soft reflective modifier and a giant shoot-through diffusion scrim panel on set.
Pronounced Deep Parabolic Geometry: 16-rib framework creates a much deeper parabolic profile than standard umbrellas, offering superior control over light path concentration and scatter tracking.
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: Built with lightweight, high-tensile flexible rods that provide exceptional structural rigidity and resist catching wind on location.

Q: Can I use a standard lightweight travel stand for this extra-large umbrella?
A: Due to its massive 165cm 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: What is the main structural benefit of a translucent deep umbrella over a silver or white version?
A: While silver and white umbrellas are strictly reflective, the translucent fabric allows light to pass directly through it. This means you can place the flash inside the umbrella and point the open face directly at your subject from just inches away, transforming the unit into a giant, ultra-soft diffusion panel that mimics natural window lighting.
Q: Is the umbrella shaft compatible with professional Profoto and Broncolor flash heads?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Godox UB-165D 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.
