Create separation and depth.
Grids are made up of cells that control off axis light in four directions while maintaining the soft quality inherent in a large light source. They allow you to create separation and depth such as a hair light where you want to control just the light going onto the hair in order to separate it from the background.
Eliminate spill and flare
As light is focused into a forward direction through use of a grid, it can help to eliminate spill light or lens flare.
40-degree spread of light.
The off axis portion of the light is controlled by the cell size. The cell size (measured in degrees) describes the maximum cutoff angle of the off axis light. A 40-degree grid is the most popular degree used.
Light loss.
Light loss at the center axis is minimal at a distance 3 to 4 times the diagonal dimension of the light source. On most models it is less than a 1/4 a stop of light.
Perfect for travel.
Grids are soft grids that collapse down for easy transport and travel.
Included carry case.
Each unit comes with an included nylon carry case.
Easy attachment.
Grids easily attach through the use of hook and loop tape. When attaching, place your diffusion panel about 1/2 way in on the hook tape. This will leave enough room for the egg crate to attach directly in front of the diffusion panel.
