Profoto 100986 Deep Medium 41" White Umbrella

The Profoto Deep Medium Umbrella in white is a 41-inch light modifier designed for photographers who want more control than a standard umbrella offers without stepping up to a softbox. Its defining feature is the deep, parabolic profile — noticeably deeper than conventional photography umbrellas — which focuses light into a more directional beam while still producing the soft, wrap-around quality that makes umbrellas popular for portrait and beauty work. The white interior diffuses light evenly as it passes through, creating a broad yet controlled source that flatters skin tones and minimizes harsh shadows.

Construction reflects Profoto's professional-grade standards. Sixteen glass fiber rods maintain the parabolic shape under tension, and their flexibility makes them far more resistant to snapping than traditional metal spokes — an important durability advantage for photographers who set up and break down frequently on location. The umbrella collapses compactly and comes with a storage bag for easy transport. At 41 inches, the Deep Medium sits in a versatile middle ground: large enough to produce soft, flattering light for headshots and half-length portraits, yet manageable enough to fit into most shooting environments without dominating the set. It accepts a standard umbrella shaft, making it compatible with a wide range of strobes and monolights beyond the Profoto ecosystem.
