For the price, this was an amazing purchase. It would have been nice if the black was removable to expand the use of the umbrella, but that's nitpicking. The quality is really nice, and the thing is huge. The umbrella comes with a sleeve to protect it while you transport it between shoots. Because if it's size, it has a good weight to it, so make sure your stand is strong and/or large enough to hold the umbrella. I've tested it out at home, can't wait to use it on my next shoot.
