This umbrella provides a quick and easy light diffusion or reflection and can be positioned close to the subject as a shoot-through diffuser. It is the smallest folding umbrella of it's size at 15" (collapsed) and is recommended to those who need to travel small. The small folding design means more joints, moving parts, and a hollow shaft resulting in a less sturdy design than reqular folding umbrellas. If your needs do not require a super compact umbrella, you might want to consider getting a 32" or 45" umbrella instead.
