Hello,

I am looking for a mini umbrella...the smallest white I can find are 33”. Something like 20” would be perfect but I am having trouble finding one. I would prefer amazon as I would like to get it asap, but have come up empty. Any help?

A mini umbrella doesn't sound like an efficient modifier, you'd have to get the flash head extremely close to the umbrella to control spill. Perhaps Gary Fong or other offers a modifier that will give you the desired effect. What are you shooting and what are you wanting to achieve?

I have not seen mini umbrellas but there are a variety of small (24x24" or less) soft boxes available on Amazon. Maybe one of them might work for you.

Depending on what you’re shooting, a beauty dish may work very well.
