Phottix Premio Diffuser for Reflective Umbrella - 105cm

The Phottix Premio Diffuser for Reflective Umbrella - 105cm is a premium fabric modification cap engineered to instantly upgrade your existing Premio reflective bounce umbrella into a high-performance, rapid-folding softbox. By stretching securely over the open front face of the umbrella frame, this specialized diffuser intercepts the raw, bouncing light rays from the silver or white interior, scattering them into an incredibly uniform, edge-to-edge light source.

This smart accessory provides mobile wedding, event, and portrait photographers with a lightweight, space-saving alternative to carrying bulky traditional softboxes on location without sacrificing light quality.

Product Features in Detail

Instant Umbrella-to-Softbox Conversion
This specialized fabric diffuser eliminates the need to carry separate, time-consuming softboxes on location. By stretching it over your opened Premio reflective umbrella, you instantly enclose the front face. The resulting setup completely traps stray light and forces it through the front panel, matching the directional and flattering output of a dedicated studio softbox in seconds.

High-Translucency Neutral Diffusion Fabric
The diffuser is woven from a premium, high-translucency white textile designed to scatter light efficiently without altering your source's native color temperature. It eliminates hot spots and harsh center reflections from your flash tube or continuous LED, ensuring a completely uniform pool of light across the entire front surface.

Flattering, Wrap-Around Character with Moderate Contrast
When fixed onto a reflective umbrella, the diffuser blends the high efficiency of a bounce backing with the softness of front-face diffusion. This yields a gorgeous, wrap-around lighting style that softens skin textures, hides minor blemishes, and maintains gentle, organic transitions into the shadows while retaining enough crisp contrast to keep images dimensional.

Heavy-Duty Elasticized High-Tension Rim
To ensure the diffuser stays firmly in place during fast-paced shoots or when working outdoors in a light breeze, the outer rim is lined with a heavy-duty, high-tension elastic band. This elasticized edge grips the outer tips of the umbrella's fiberglass support ribs, preventing the fabric from slipping, sagging, or blowing off mid-shoot.

Precision Central Shaft Passthrough Portal
The diffuser is engineered with a specialized central opening aligned with the umbrella's main structure. This allows the 8mm center shaft to slide through effortlessly to lock into your flash bracket or studio monolight head, ensuring the fabric never pinches, bunches up, or interferes with your lighting hardware.

Ultra-Lightweight Packable Travel Design
Weighing next to nothing and collapsing completely flat down to the size of a t-shirt, this diffuser is the ultimate space-saving light modifier. It easily slides into a side pocket of your camera bag, making it a powerful tool for run-and-gun portrait artists who need to pivot from high-contrast silver bounce lighting to ultra-soft portrait diffusion on the fly.
