MoFo 52" PDU - Parabolic Diffused Umbrella

There’s a New MoFo in Town

MoFo 52 PDU – Parabolic Diffused Umbrella

All the gorgeous light quality of the MoFo 72 — now in a more compact, more portable package.

The new MoFo 52 PDU brings everything photographers love about the original MoFo into a smaller footprint that’s easier to travel with, quicker to set up, and ideal for tighter shooting spaces.

Beautiful light. No hassle.

The MoFo 52 PDU (Parabolic Diffused Umbrella) mimics the light quality of a deep parabolic softbox but with the fast setup and portability of an umbrella. Just pop it open, attach it to your light, and you’re ready to go — no speedrings, rods, or frustration.

Its soft white interior creates a smooth, flattering light with a gentle falloff — perfect for portraits, beauty, fashion, and product work. The included removable diffusion cap attaches directly to the front face to soften the output and enhance wrap.

Why you'll love the MoFo 52:

• 52" diameter for beautiful, dimensional soft light. The 52" dimension is across the face of the PDU, not the curved back like some "other" sneaky suppliers provide as a spec (SHAME!).

• Parabolic shape for directional control and natural falloff

• Umbrella-style build — opens and sets up in seconds

• Soft white interior for clean, even illumination

• Includes removable diffusion cap for quick softening

• Lightweight, compact, and easy to travel with

Whether you're on location or working in a small studio, the MoFo 52 PDU delivers pro-level light without slowing you down.

Specs:

• 52" across the FACE of the umbrella; don't be fooled by other suppliers that provide a measurement that is from the curved/bell side! The FACE of the modifier is what determines the size/softness of the light source, not the bell.
• 36" collapsed length
