Why is this light modifier $11,000

Looking at what it is (big umbrella in a bag), I'm wondering what justifies the price also. Maybe $1,500 would be nearer the mark at absolute tops.
 
Because Profoto is the most overpriced lighting equipment brand around.
 
i don't know if all things profoto are overpriced, but from the looks of it and various videos i've seen on that particular modifier i can't see how 11 grand is justified really
 
Because a fool and his money are easily separated. You say it's madness spending $11000 for a silver umbrella, I say at least there's a bit of engineering in this. Compared to say a $100 tupperware container that bolts on your lens yet produces the same results as strapping a sheet of paper to the flash.

There's overpriced **** in every industry. This one just happens to have a lot of it.
 
yeah i agree, it seems to be thought out pretty well and how the flash head mounts to the reflector itself seems pretty effective as it functioning as a parabolic reflector, but i'd probably rather fork over $90 for the paul c buff. version that would probably do 90% (if not more) of the things this thing can
 
Even if I had the money. I would never spend that much money on a reflector. Thats insane.
 
What would amaze me is if someone actually paid that price for one of those.

Exactly! Hell I would be a true strobist and build one for $10 or $20 first. I know that is expensive for ghetto but the fabric is the most expensive part. The PVC is cheap.

Ah but they do or they wouldnt be making them.
