I returned my previous purchase of some cheaper umbrellas and then ordered this product (which I debated on in the first place). WOW, am I super happy I bought this. It comes in a plastic sleeve, and the umbrella is miles better quality than my last purchase. This umbrella has solid materials, from the shaft, to the cover material, through to the FIBREGLASS construction of the support ribs.
I couldn't be happier and the light it produces on shoot-through is wonderful. It does NOT have a silver reflective cover on the black portion which is removable, and I really haven't compared the bounce light to an umbrella that does have a black removable cover with a silver side... so I can't say if there is a difference. The white material has a nice sheen to it and it does bounce so I can safely say that it works very well in both types of configurations.
If I need another umbrella of any kind in the future I will not waste me time trying to save a few dollars and just go with this brand from now on.
Arrived in a timely fashion, exactly as described in perfect new condition.
Only con is the clear plastic holder is cheap- as if it was designed to be thrown out after opening instead of a reusable holder I wish it came with. The opening of mine came torn out of the box from the workers stuffing the umbrella into it.
All in all, it works great and the price is right.
The best part is the black backing that comes off and back on very easily. Changing from shoot through and bounce depending on your style or the space requirements is super easy.
When used outdoors obviously 45 is a lot easier to catch a breeze and flip over than the smaller 36s so make sure you have good stands even though they don't weigh much.
Pros: 1 Has held up for a year, mild use
2 Easy to be shoot through or bounce
3 Small, unobtrusive printed brand logo
Cons: None so far
PS To learn how to use umbrellas with your flashes "The Speedlighters Handbook" is a good choice IMO if you use Canon.
Having now worked with the 2016-45, I can only conclude that one or more of the reviewers were confusing this product with the Compact 43. The sample I received has excellent build quality. It has eight ribs and no sharp rib tips. Light quality is excellent. The cover is easily removed. I have no experience with replacing the cover since I use it as a shoot-through but I have used the cover as a flag without difficulty.

The light output from this umbrella is a little bit better in my opinion because of the reflectiveness of the white lining material. it isn't as mat as regular umbrellas, but has a pearlescent sheen to it which helps with bouncing back light.
Note: 45inch may not seem like a lot, but this umbrella is big. This one is certainly not suitable if you plan on shooting outdoors in the open. For that I would suggest to use the 32 inch. Unless you want your gear to have a Mary Poppins moment.
Super Qualität und tolle Ergebnisse, Da man das Schwarze teil auch nur halb runternehmen kann, kann man schönen unterschiede machen in Hand und Gesicht Lichtstärke, was nicht unwichtig ist bei einen halb oder Ganz Körper Aufnahme, damit haben die Hände nicht die gleiche Lichtstärke wie das Gesicht und bleibt der Fokus auf dem Gesicht.
Fazit, macht genau das was es soll und das in exzellente verarbeitung
