Profoto Umbrella deep M (White)

$200.00 /day

A premium, highly versatile 41-inch (105cm) white parabolic umbrella from Profoto’s deep shaping line, now available for premium gear rental in Hong Kong. Custom-engineered to deliver a beautifully diffuse, wrap-around pool of creamy illumination with excellent directional control 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 Profoto Umbrella Deep M White (105cm) is a highly popular, versatile light-shaping modifier engineered from the ground up for location portrait creators, fashion photographers, and fast-moving video crews, making it a heavily requested item for renting in Hong Kong. Moving far beyond traditional, shallow photographic umbrellas that spill light erratically across a room, this premium modifier features a deep, highly pronounced parabolic framework. With 16 robust fiberglass ribs tensioning the heavy-duty fabric, it allows you to precisely track and focus your light throw simply by sliding the umbrella shaft back and forth within the flash head.

When executing an equipment hire for run-and-gun fashion editorials, corporate portraits, or outdoor wedding setups, speed and light quality are mandatory on HK production sets. The white interior lining delivers a beautifully soft, uniform pool of creamy illumination with a gentle contrast fall-off that masterfully minimizes skin imperfections while throwing natural, round catchlights into your subject’s eyes. It perfectly bridges the gap between the soft wrapping light of a softbox and the rapid deployment speed of an umbrella. This premium Hong Kong rental package mounts natively onto any Profoto flash head utilizing its integrated umbrella shaft holder.

Applicable Scenarios:

On-Location HK Fashion & Bridal Portraits: Creates a dream-like, diffuse wrap-around light that highlights delicate fabric textures and wedding gowns out in the field, perfect for outdoor sets in locations like Sheung Wan, Sai Kung, or Shek O.
Run-and-Gun Location Headshots: Slips directly into standard gear cases and deploys rapidly in tight corporate offices in Central or public streets without drawing excessive crowd attention.
High-Angle Boom Pole Assignments: Deploys and collapses in a matter of seconds, making it incredibly easy for an assistant to suspend overhead on a travel stand or boom pole during quick fast street shoots.

Pronounced Deep Parabolic Shape: 16-rib fiberglass framework creates a much deeper parabolic profile than standard umbrellas, yielding superior control over light beam concentration.
Creamy White Interior Coating: Softens raw flash output into a highly diffuse, forgiving illumination pattern that optimizes smooth skin-tone transitions.
Variable Focal Spot Zooming: Seamlessly adjust the light beam characteristics from a focused soft spot to a broad, even wash simply by shifting the umbrella shaft along the lamp head sleeve.
Heavy-Duty Fiberglass Rib Construction: Built with lightweight, high-tensile fiberglass 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, drastically stripping down equipment assembly overhead for traveling solo shooters.

(Note: This rental package covers the standalone deep umbrella modifier structure. Optional auxiliary front diffusers, wireless transmitters, battery strobes, and light stands are available for rent separately at our HK studio.)

Q: Can I turn this deep white umbrella into a softbox layout?
A: Yes, absolutely. You can expand this modifier’s versatility by renting our optional Profoto Umbrella Diffuser M accessory from our HK studio. Snapping the diffuser cloth over the open front face of the umbrella smoothly transforms it into a highly uniform, edge-to-edge diffuse softbox that eliminates hotspots completely.
Q: Is this umbrella frame sturdy enough to handle outdoor location shoots in Hong Kong?
A: Yes. Unlike cheap photography umbrellas that use easily bent metal rods, Profoto utilizes 16 high-tensile fiberglass ribs. This advanced framework makes the Umbrella Deep M exceptionally robust and flexible, allowing it to withstand light location wind gusts without collapsing or warping. However, we always recommend utilizing proper sandbags on outdoor sets.
Q: Which flash units are natively compatible with this umbrella?
A: It is universally compatible with all Profoto flash units featuring a standard 7mm/8mm umbrella sleeve, including the Profoto B10, B10 Plus, B1x, D2, and Pro heads. It can also be paired with compact portable travel lights via an auxiliary stand adapter bracket.
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.
