Phottix has just launched its new Premio Parabolic Umbrellas series, a replacement for its previous Para-Pro product lineup. The Premio series boasts an entirely new locking mechanism that is both simpler and stronger than the version found on the Para-Pro models, as well as deeper umbrellas and fiberglass spokes.
In all, there are eight versions of the Premio umbrellas you can put together: 47in / 120cm and 33in / 85cm umbrellas can be purchased in either ‘shoot-through’ or ‘reflective’ models, with reflective black backing available for the shoot-through models (2 stops of additional light) and white diffusers available for the reflective models.
All four models, plus reflective backing and diffusers, are available now at the following prices:
- 85cm Reflective Umbrella: $ 45
- 120cm Reflective Umbrella: $ 55
- 85cm Shoot-through Umbrella: $ 40
- 120cm Shoot-through Umbrella: $ 50
- 85cm White diffuser: $ 15
- 120cm White diffuser: $ 25
- 85cm Black backing: $ 15
- 120cm Black backing: $ 25
