Flexfill: The Original Collapsible Reflectors Get Total Lighting Control, Whether On Location or In Studio We've all seen it: when the contrast between your light and shadows is too extreme, the sensors in your camera will "crush" the highlights or shadows, ruining your exposure and washing out all your detail. Using a reflector to "fill" the shadows or soften direct light brings your subject within the range your camera can capture reliably. Controls natural or artificial lighting contrast and quality Sets up and collapses in about one second Collapses to one-third its size for easy transportation & storage Zippered nylon pouch included High-quality materials; made in the USA In 1982, Visual Departures introduced the first collapsible reflector: Flexfill. Today, Flexfill is used by thousands of top studio and location photographers. Available in four sizes and nine surfaces, it's a highly portable and efficient lighting solution. Flexfill is fast. The riveted spring-steel rim allows any Flexfill to open up or fold down to one-third its working size, instantly, with the flick of a wrist. And you can hold Flexfill reflectors flat, concave, or convex, depending on whether you want neutral, spot, or diffuse light. The circular Flexfill is available in 20-, 38-, 48-, and 60-inch diameters. Each Flexfill comes with its own zippered nylon carrying pouch, is fully guaranteed by Visual Departures, and is made in America. It can be mounted on lightstands with the Flexfill Adjustable Holder FH-1, which is compatible with any size Flexfill (and frees up your assistant for other tasks. If you don't have an assistant, you'll appreciate the FH-1 even more.) Types of Flexfill Surfaces White: The standard reflector surface, a white Flexfill bounces light back into the subject to lower contrast without affecting t he light's character. Silver: Similar to a white reflector, but produces a more specular fill. Use it for brightening shadows especially important when moving a white Flexfill closer would cause it to intrude into the frame. Metallic Flexfills are made with a high-grade aluminize d nylon. Gold: Similar reflecting power to silver, but also adds warmth to the subject. On a sunny day, it can eliminate the blue cast ope n sky contributes to shadows; indoors, it can warm up cool window light. Minimizes the need for a warming filter that would other wise rob light. Black Absorber: Produces an effect just the reverse of a reflector, reducing the amount of light reaching the shadows and creatin g higher lighting contrast. Especially good for adding snap when soft ambient light makes a subject appear flat. Made from a dead -matte velvet-like fabric, it's also useful for "flagging" keeping unwanted stray light off your lens and/or subject. Translucent: Designed for placement between the light source and sub ject, a translucent Flexfill softens hard light to improves m odeling. It reduces light by 1.2 stops. Silk: Similar in its diffusing effect to our translucent...
