Review: Great Product - It took me a while to decide between the Westcott 2016-45 Optical White Satin with Removable Black Cover (the one I'm reviewing) and the Westcott Compact 43 inch White Satin with Removeable Cover - Collapsible. Both were offered at $29.90 and both were assessed by some reviewers as being flimsy with very sharp tips with the cover removed. The 1016-45 was on sale from a regular price of $99, has a measured diameter of 42 inches from tip to tip when open, and a length of 29.5 inches when closed. 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.
Review: Versatile and Solidly Built Umbrella - Overall feels very solid and the shaft is solid metal. The arms seem like they can withstand some bending, the fabric is of thicker quality and has a Velcro strap to close. The end of the arms all have ball-tips rather than the needle-like ones another reviewer posted, so there's no ninja action on my version. Slipping the black cover on and off is very quick and easy - just make sure the umbrella is not extended, gently bend each arm and it pops right off. 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do they make a front diffuser for this umbrella?**
A: Yes, Westcott calls them Umbrella Diffusion Fabric. They're three sizes one for 43 inch Westcott part number 5639, for 53 inch it's 5640 and for seven foot it's 4341D.

**Q: What color is the inside of the cover? If you put the cover on, is it a white reflective umbrella, or is it a silver reflective umbrella?**
A: It's basically a white reflective inside the umbrella. I think the black outer cover makes it look a little more silver but I haven't seen any color difference in my photos using it as a bounce umbrella.

**Q: Where can I get the black cover so light do not spread?**
A: The Westcott part number 2016 45-inch umbrellaand the 4633 7-foot umbrella come with removable black backs. I also use black material from a fabric store to block light from the side. Mounted on cardboard it's called a flag. Sweat shirt material is stretchy and works well. A little heavy but wrinkle resistant.

**Q: What is the difference between this model ($30) and the Westcot model 3625 ($45), other than this one has a removable black backing?**
A: As far as I know, the removable black backing is the only difference. If you think you are ever going to need the versatility of the model 3625 using it as a shoot through instead of a reflective umbrella, then by all means purchase the 3625 model. If not, then go with the $30 model.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finally a quality Umbrella!
*by B***C on March 9, 2015*

I made the mistake of trying to go with the cheapest convertible umbrella I could find thinking that they are all kind of the same right? WRONG. 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.
