Five Lighting Tools in One
This reflector gives you complete control over your light with five interchangeable surfaces. Use the diffusion panel to soften harsh light, silver for punchy contrast, sunlight for warm tones, white for natural fill, and black to block light or add negative fill. It’s a flexible solution that replaces multiple modifiers in a single, compact tool.
Fast, Practical Light Control
The QuickGrip handles make a noticeable difference in real-world use, allowing you or an assistant to position the reflector quickly and accurately. It opens instantly and folds down to a fraction of its size, making it ideal for fast-paced shoots or working on location.
Choosing the Right Size
This reflector is available in multiple sizes, each suited to different types of work:
-
51cm (20"): Ultra-compact and easy to carry. Ideal for close-up work, product photography, and tight shooting spaces, but limited coverage.
-
76cm (30"): Best for headshots, small product work, and single-subject setups. Very portable with slightly more coverage.
-
101cm (40"): A versatile middle ground for portraits, couples, and medium-sized setups. Balances portability with increased light coverage.
-
127cm (50"): Ideal for 3/4-length portraits, small groups, and wider scenes. Provides broader, softer light but is less compact.
-
122 x 183cm (48" x 72"): A large panel for maximum coverage, perfect for full-length portraits, groups, and video work. Delivers very soft, even light, but requires more space and often a stand or assistant to manage.
Built for Regular Use
Constructed with a durable steel frame and high-quality fabrics, the Illuminator QuickGrip is designed to withstand frequent use. It’s lightweight enough to carry easily, yet robust enough to rely on for consistent performance over time.
