Profoto Umbrella deep XL (White)

$300.00 /day

An industrial-grade, extra-large 65-inch (165cm) white parabolic umbrella from Profoto’s deep shaping system, now available for premium gear rental in Hong Kong. Engineered to deliver a giant wall of diffuse, wrap-around soft light with incredible parabolic control for large-scale production 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 Profoto Umbrella Deep XL White (165cm) is an absolute heavyweight 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 massive 65-inch modifier features a highly pronounced, extra-deep parabolic geometry. Reinforced by 16 robust fiberglass ribs tensioning the heavy-duty technical fabric, it allows you to precisely focus or flag your light throw simply by sliding the reinforced umbrella shaft back and forth within your strobe’s chassis.

When executing an equipment hire for high-end fashion campaigns, large commercial sets, multi-person group portraits, or clean video interviews, generating a massive yet flattering key source is mandatory on HK production sets. The white interior lining delivers an exceptionally soft, beautifully uniform wall of creamy illumination that wraps naturally around your subjects, smoothing skin micro-textures while mimicking the quality of a giant studio window. It perfectly bridges the gap between a heavy overhead scrim setup and the lightning-fast assembly of a collapsible umbrella. This premium Hong Kong rental package mounts natively onto any Profoto flash head utilizing its integrated 8mm umbrella shaft sleeve.

Applicable Scenarios:

Large-Scale HK Fashion & Commercial Campaigns: Delivers a giant, flawless wrapping light that effortlessly coats models and large wardrobe pieces, highlighting delicate textures without creating harsh shadow drop-offs.
Multi-Person Group & Corporate Portraiture: Provides a massive pool of uniform illumination that spans cleanly across large corporate teams or family groups simultaneously, maintaining sharp edge-to-edge tone consistency.
Cinematic Video Interviews & Overheads: Creates an exceptionally soft, wrap-around key light that allows subjects to move freely within a scene without causing drastic changes in exposure or contrast tracking.

Massive 65-Inch Extra-Large 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 fiberglass framework creates a much deeper parabolic profile than standard umbrellas, offering unparalleled control over beam concentration and spill tracking.
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 Fiberglass Rib Construction: Built with lightweight, high-tensile fiberglass rods that provide exceptional structural rigidity and resist catching wind on location.

(Note: This rental package covers the standalone deep XL white umbrella modifier structure. Optional auxiliary front diffusers, heavy-duty light stands, wireless transmitters, and flash lamp heads are available for rent separately at our HK studio.)

Q: Can I turn this giant white umbrella into a full softbox layout?
A: Yes, absolutely. You can maximize this modifier’s versatility by renting our optional Profoto Umbrella Diffuser XL accessory from our HK studio. Snapping the diffuser cloth over the open front face of the umbrella smoothly transforms it into a giant, highly uniform diffuse octagonal softbox that eliminates hotspots completely.
Q: Is a standard lightweight stand sufficient for this extra-large umbrella?
A: Due to its massive 65-inch 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: Which flash units are natively compatible with this XL umbrella?
A: It features a standard 8mm reinforced steel shaft, making it universally compatible with all Profoto flash units featuring a standard umbrella sleeve, including the Profoto B10, B10 Plus, B1x, D2, and Pro heads.
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.
