Have you ever given much thought to the versatility of an umbrella? Yeah, we hadn’t either. While they’re great for shielding you from raindrops, Profoto recently released a new product that give umbrellas multi-purpose status: the Umbrella XL.

This nifty lighting tool is ideal for portrait and fashion photography. Using just a single light source, the Umbrella XL casts a distinct light over an entire person or small groups of people, adding something a little extra to an ordinary portrait shot – and saving you time in the process.

The Umbrella XL is compatible with all Profoto flash heads and monolights and comes in white, silver, and translucent. There is also an optional front diffuser and stand adapter.
