Profoto Backpanel

Umbrella softboxes are a common, easy-to-handle solution. However, they are extremely versatile and create interesting and creative lighting effects. And what's even better: You can further enhance their versatility with Profoto's practical umbrella accessories.

The optional back panel for umbrella softboxes is pulled over the front of your translucent umbrella with an elastic band, similar to a shower cap, transforming it into a softbox. The back panel is white on the inside and black on the outside. This prevents unwanted stray light from leaking out the back of the umbrella, which could reflect uncontrollably and compromise the light quality of the subject. At the same time, it increases the amount of light that hits the subject from the front of the umbrella. This makes it the perfect tool when the flash power is insufficient. The umbrella back panel is available in four sizes: S, M, L, and XL.
