Lastolite By Manfrotto Introduce New Accessories For HiLite Background

Lastolite By Manfrotto has introduced a Window Voile, Shaper and Shapers & Masks to the HiLite Background.

The Window Voile effectively turns the HiLite into a huge head to toe window light, allowing photographers to create the illusion that the subject is looking out through a large window or doorway. The voile attaches to the Hilite very easily - it is supplied with a collapsible aluminium pole that simply clips to the top of the HiLite and the voile then hangs from the pole like a curtain.

Utilising the same collapsible aluminium pole as the voile, the Shaper is an 86cm wide opaque black panel that hangs on the pole from the top to the bottom of the HiLite and effectively masks the light from the Hilite. The shaper can be moved to any position along the aluminium pole, allowing the photographer to create a single strip of light or split the light into two strips on either side of the shaper panel. Each position offers a different lighting effect on the subject.  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 subject's eyes.

The Shapers and Masks consist of a set of three Shapers and three Masks. The three Shapers (1 x 86cm wide, 2 x 66 cm wide) allow the photographer maximum control of the width of the strip of light leaving the HiLite softbox. This 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.

All three accessories are available now with the following RRPs: 

• Window Voile - £123.95
• Shaper - £108.95
• Shapers and Masks - £245.95
