Very compact (as in, folding compact) shoot through umbrella.

[Adam_M]

Hello wise TP Lighting gurus.

I am on the search for a very compact but not too small when deployed, I currently have a "Manfrotto 026 Swivel Lite-Tite Umbrella Adapter" and ideally it would fit that. But I'm open to options.

I've seen the following, which I think requires their own adapter/mount/thingy... http://www.wexphotographic.com/buy-lastolite-90cm-trifold-umbrella-translucent/p1524006

Are there others like this, or should I just get this + the mount? or will this fit my Manfrotto...

I need things to fit into a back pack, and my current umbrella definitely doesn't!

Cheers,

Adam

Never mind, I'm just going to buy that! for some reason I thought the Manfrotto could only use 8mm shafts. Though if anyone has any suggestions for other modifiers that are also very small when packed away I'm all ears...

Westcott Apollo brolly ? Folds really small and can be either translucent or reflected.
