Greetings

There is an Elinchrom Video on lighting white backgrounds. One of the little doodads is a articulating clip that can be attached to a reflector where you can then attach a small flag.

Anybody use these and/or know where they can be had?

Thanks

Hey Ralph,

If you want to flag the aluminum reflector then I'd either use a larger cutter or gobo.

Smaller flags aren't going to help you much in lighting backgrounds and blocking spill, which is what I know you're working on now.

Hi Rob

yesterday I was holding a small flag against the veristar to keep some spill from the subject as I had the veristar just camera side and about 12" away. It allowed some spill on the floor, which I wanted in my endevour. the clip and flag combo looked cheap enough to experiment with, although I've got enough unused doodads as it is:p

Barn doors would do exactly what you're trying to do.

Have you considered getting a set of doors?

I've got a set for the 8.25 reflector, I was going to try this on the veristar, which sounds oxymoronic, considering the fact you have the varistar for the 135 degree coverage.
