The company that brought us the first monolight with built in TTL is today announcing new umbrellas. First off, there are 12 new umbrellas and they’re all offered in two shapes: deep or shallow. All the umbrellas come in four sizes: small, medium, large, and extra large. Then there are your configurations of silver, white, or white transparent. It’s nice to know that users have the choices as deep umbrellas tend to throw light in a more targeted area while shallow umbrellas throw it out everywhere.

We’ve got no official work on pricing yet, but Profoto’s anything isn’t usually in the reach of mere mortals. Though when you usually think about how good their products are, the prices are very justifiable. You can check out the umbrellas over at Profoto’s page.
