Basically a patio umbrella that is built to photo standards, this beast can substitute for flying a silk overhead, or simply be used to keep talent cool. It is also colloquially known as an "Uncle Sam". A 42" extension pole with tilting frame is included, along with a heavy-duty tilting bracket. A black/silver cover replaces the white diffusion for long throw reflection or bounce lighting. The kit also includes a grip clamp and T-bar and a carrying case to put them all in. It's huge, and it's beautiful.
