Neewer 33" Brolly

Neewer 33” shot through umbrella softbox (brolly) is an economical approach to soft light. Usually selling for between $20.00 and $25.00. They do an excellent job with just one problem. They have very limited downward adjustment.



At full downward adjustment there is very little downward angle.




You can lower the pivot point by adding another umbrella bracket and a short piece of ½” hard copper tubing. Force a short piece of wood doweling into each end of the copper tubing to prevent it from collapsing. 




By lowering the pivot point the adjustment is unlimited.



Typical setup for portrait with shoot through brolly.



Typical results from this setup.
