The stiff breeze that once ruined your perfectly planned outdoor shoot is now a forgotten memory. Remember, the whole business tipped over from the wind, the stand, umbrella, and the XPLOR600. You lost the flash in the resulting crash and soured the mood of the wind some model to boot. Who knows what might have been the rewards of a perfect day in the great outdoors. Glow introduces the best solution for conquering the challenge of umbrella light on a windy day! A silver umbrella with a wind resistant flair and still good to deliver the reflected light with all of the benefits of our EZ-Lock system. The Glow EZ Lock is abundantly safe and sure EZ positive and lock system. No more open up and close down umbrella frustration or fumbling! The newly designed locking device surrounds the shaft, providing a comfortable place to slide the umbrella mechanism to open, and a generous wide button to release the shoot. We all love the results of a perfectly shaped umbrella creating a caress of light that softly bathes our subjects. However, along with the great outdoors and the abundance of random weather, comes the challenge of breezes and wind. A waft of air can ruin the most carefully placed lighting arrangement. Face the elements with a new light modifier armament. The GLOW EZ-LOCK WINDPROOF 51" DEEP UMBRELLA is the world's first wind resistant umbrella with the Glow advantage. We took the naturally reflective properties of aluminum fabrics, spun in an open weave pattern that allows the offending and dangerous breezes to pass through, while the light is captured and reflected off of its randomized serrated metallic surface. The forces of the airstream are not diverted around the umbrella but waft between the openings. The results An exclusive wind taming version of the all-important umbrella for outdoor use - even in a minor gale. Instead of catching the wind, it ignores the waft. The patent-pending GLOW EZ-LOCK WINDPROOF 51" DEEP UMBRELLA adds the right touch of indirect bounce light while allowing the airy breeze a pass through the umbrella. The serrated fabric act as a sieve to let air to pass through unlike the stiff resistance that solid umbrellas pose. Instead of acting like a sail, resisting the force of oncoming gusts, the unique design of the modifier reduces wind resistance while providing a significant softness. Even if you are satisfied with your current silver umbrella and its wind sail issues, this Windproof Umbrella results in a much easier to handle solution for outdoor situations. While it is not as efficient as a traditional silver umbrella, it delivers the light without being overwhelming. We always recommend the use of stand weights to keep the setup at maximum safety levels, even with all the advantages wind resistance offers. (Just ask Dorothy, of Kansas fame.) This 51" size is ideal for full figure subjects and portraiture. The great curve has excellent light gathering properties. Each deep umbrella in the series can serve...
