It receives your light and diffuses even the most severe, direct light changes into a gentle and controllable source for still or video photographers. The 12x12' Butterfly consists of a collapsible aluminum frame that can be easily assembled and fitted with an efficient light modifying, light diffusion screen, to transform any intense light source from hard to soft, natural to artificial. The sheer size of our 12x12 Butterfly Scrim helps the master the harsh nature of a powerful light source into a wide variety of diffused illumination solutions. The cleverly constructed lightweight 1-inch square anodized aluminum frame is hinged and jointed to form a perfect stable square, reinforced to hold its shape with 8 locking levers. The whole frame collapses down to a transportable and storage friendly 6' x 6" x 3", in its zippered bag. The diffusion material is a translucent silk type material that is bungee fastened through grommet eyelets on the fabric onto the constructed 12x12 aluminum frame. The Glow 12x12 Butterfly Scrim frame is supported best by C Stands, like the Flashpoint FPLSC, using the two included C Stand Adapter Brackets. When secured with weights or sandbags outdoors, it reduces the intensity of any sunlight and filters softly on subjects being filmed or photographed. In the studio, careful placement of the scrim to the subject or light to scrim surface, anyone can control the properties of diffusion and reduction of strength to achieve flattering portraits and fashion images.

After setting up the Glow Butterfly Scrim Kit, you'll have a robust 8x8 foot light modifier at your disposal, capable of transforming any intense light source, whether natural or artificial, into a soft, evenly diffused glow. This expansive diffusion surface panel is supported by a collapsible aluminum frame, designed for easy assembly and adaptability with interchangeable light modifying, light absorbing, or opaque screens. Without any modifications, the butterfly scrim kit produces a softer, more diffused light than the raw intensity of a bare flash head. However, with the addition of the Fabric Grid for the 8x8' Butterfly, you gain the ability to direct and tame the light dispersion. The spread of light is narrowed to approximately 30 degrees, while maintaining the same output level. While the reflection of the butterfly in glossy products, catchlights in eyes, and automotive subjects may no longer be sleek and uninterrupted, it will serve as the largest non-direct gridded light source available. The fabric grid attaches securely to the aluminum butterfly frame in the same manner as the diffusion material, using binding straps. Once connected, it stays firmly in place, giving you complete control over your lighting setup. This durable, versatile, and portable light modifier is easy to set up and ideal for both professional and hobbyist photographers and videographers.
