This 240 x 240 cm overhead butterfly frame is a large sized diffusion panel that can be used to soften and diffuse the light.
The modular aluminum frame has a pipe-in-pipe assembling design which allows a quick setup and operation.
The diffusion panel is held in place using easy to hook on elastic straps.
The overhead frame features a translucent white fabric to diffuse the light and soften the shadows.
The fabric is UV treated to withstand long exposure to sun.
Use the Butterfly Panel horizontally overhead your subject to soften harsh light sources like the sunlight or use it vertically in front of powerful light sources like the HMI lights to mimic the effect of a large softbox light.
The included square grid helps to direct the light trough the diffusion panel and to somewhat reduce the light spill, acting like a large softbox.
For mounting the Butterfly 240 x 240 cm on 2 light stands, two Grip Heads LD (Large Diameters) can be used to tilt the panel at the desired angle (see "Add mounting accessories" option on the right). The large diameters of the grip's jaws are suitable to hold the butterfly's frame into the desired position.
The diffusion fabric can be replace with the following optional fabrics:
- silver & gold: used to create specular highlights adding contrast to the image (silver) or to create a warm effect (gold)
- black & opaque white: used for blocking the light to avoid spill (black) or to bounce and soften the light with natural looking results (white)
- double black: used as a traditional flag to absorb the light from the both sides and to create the "negative fill" effect,
