Hiya guys im looking for a good place i can buy cheap umbrellas from using paypal. Im after a 40" umbrella that can use as a reflective and shoot through. I tryed ebay but cant seem to have much luck finding them? any one got any ideas?

thanks
 
think the sports store. soccer world sell large golfing umberellas, although not sure of the actual size
 
lol no im mean lighting umbrellas for studio shots l want a shoot through and a reflective one all in one. thats for the tip on getting normal umbrellas *** ;) lol
 
just got one off ebay for £15 from china see what its like hope it turns up in time got a shoot next week
 
eBay seller Photoskill had them, called Double Up, but aren't listing any at the moment. They were about £21 incl P&P.
 
Mr Studio on Fleabay have some good umbrellas, I got a couple of decent umbrella/softboxes from them for a tenner or so each, delivered
 
I got mine from Midwest Photo Exchange although I expect it's probably not as worthwhile doing that now given the current exchange rate. Have a look at The Flash Centre otherwise as they might have what you're after in the UK.

I should add both company's websites are poor so you're probably better off phoning them.
 
Thisis the one I got, the price has jumped a fair bit though, you can buy them in the UK for that sort of money now.

The ones welly bought look :thumbs: for the money, might need to get a couple myself

The seller was great. They arrived the day after buying them. Don't expect them to be of Elinchrom quality but for a tenner each, there's nothing at all wrong with them. I'm very pleased!

At a tenner I'm just pleased when stuff from Ebay turns up at all :lol:
 
I found the Umbrelleas on ebay that welly bought then found this thread. Good to hear what you think of them welly.

I am after 2 stands and the cold shoe adaptors that take umbrellas. It amazes me that, other than with lights, you can' get a set of stands and adapters in one!!

I think I have prices up two shoot through brollies, 2 adapters and 2 stands for around £62 on ebay through various sellers. I wish I could get it all in one place for a decent price!
 
I bought two of these from this seller. I have no basis of comparison for quality but they seem to work OK.

I bought and paid for them separately, a couple of days apart, to keep below the £18 threshold for VAT on each purchase. I think delivery might have been a little slow, compared to some of my purchases from Hong Kong, but they did arrive OK in the end, certainly within two weeks.
 
Those look like the the out-of-stock ones from eBay seller Photoskill. If more items are bought at the same time, the price works out about the same for the UK-supplied brolly.
