Manfrotto Shapers and Masks for HiLite LA-8867

The Manfrotto by Manfrotto Shapers and Masks is a set of opaque black panels, 1x 86cm wide and 2x 66cm wide which allow the photographer maximum control of the width of the strip of light leaving the HiLite softbox. The set also includes three masks, which attach to the top and the sides of the Hilite.
These ensure no light is spilled from the top or the sides of the HiLite giving the photographer complete control.
The HiLite Background
The HiLite ‘illuminated’ Background provides photographers with a truly portable high key solution. When launched, it revolutionised photographers approach to high key and quickly became the go to product for image makers around the world. Photographers soon realised that the HiLite Background could also be used as a softbox. In fact an incredibly large full-length softbox, offering beautiful soft light.
However, like any softbox, photographers need to control the shape, direction and intensity of the light to unlock the full range of creative opportunities. With this in mind, Manfrotto By Manfrotto have launched three new creative accessories for the HiLite 1,8 x 2,15 m.
Manfrotto Shapers and Masks
The shapers can be moved to any position along the aluminium pole, allowing the photographer to create single strips of light or split the light into two or three strips. These ensure no light is spilled from the top or the sides of the HiLite giving the photographer complete control.
Each position offers a different lighting effect on the subject allowing the photographer to be as creative as they wish.
The shaper panel can also be used to mask the photographer when shooting with the HiLite directly behind them and with the subject in front.
By standing in front of the shaper the photographer can be sure their silhouette does not appear as the catch light in the subjects eyes.
