Westcott Convertible Umbrella Optical White Satin with Removable Black Cover 81cm (32")

The Westcott 32" Convertible Umbrella offers a simple and versatile way to control your light, whether you want to maximise output or soften it. Use it with the black cover attached to bounce light for a more directional, efficient result, or remove the cover to shoot through the white diffusion fabric for softer, more even illumination. It’s a flexible, compact solution that adapts quickly to different lighting setups.

The Perfect Umbrella For

  • Photographers who want both bounce and diffusion in one modifier.
  • On-location shooters needing lightweight, versatile lighting tools.
  • Portrait and product photographers working with limited space.
  • Anyone building a compact, adaptable lighting kit.

Key Features

  • 32" (81 cm) convertible umbrella for bounce or shoot-through use.
  • Removable black cover for quick switching between lighting styles.
  • Optical white satin interior for clean, natural light.
  • Durable fiberglass ribs for strength and flexibility.
  • 7mm tapered shaft tip for broad compatibility.
  • Quick setup and breakdown for efficient workflow.
  • Includes protective PVC carry case.

Two Lighting Styles in One

With the black cover attached, the umbrella acts as a reflective bounce source, directing light forward with improved efficiency and subtle contrast. Remove the cover, and it becomes a shoot-through diffuser, softening the light and spreading it more evenly for a gentler look.

Compact and Practical

The 32" size makes this umbrella easy to carry and quick to position, especially in tighter spaces or on location. It’s a practical option for photographers who need flexibility without adding bulk to their kit.

Reliable Build Quality

Constructed with durable fiberglass ribs and a strong steel shaft, this umbrella is built to handle regular use in both studio and outdoor environments. The materials are designed to maintain performance while keeping weight manageable.

What’s Included

  • Westcott 32" Convertible Umbrella
  • Removable black cover
  • PVC carry case

TFC’s Verdict:

A great all-rounder if you want flexibility without carrying multiple modifiers. Being able to switch between bounce and diffusion in seconds makes this particularly useful on fast-paced shoots or when working with a minimal kit.

John Y. ★★★★★

The removable black cover is a lifesaver for quick setups outdoors—pull it off for softer bounce or leave it on to kill spill. I’ve used it for headshots and product shots, and the 81cm size spreads light beautifully without being cumbersome.

Joshua T. ★★★★★

The white satin interior gives such a clean, even falloff that I barely need to bounce or diffuse afterward. The removable black cover adds that extra control when I want to kill spill, and it packs down smaller than I expected for an 81cm umbrella.

Amelia V. ★★★★★

The removable black cover makes switching from shoot-through to reflective use incredibly fast. Soft light quality from the satin interior is exactly what I needed for portraits.
