Lastolite by Manfrotto LB8967 HiLite 1.8 x 2.15m Shapers & Masks

Note: Lastolite products were rebranded as Lastolite By Manfrotto a year or two back. From 2022 they are being rebranded again, this time as Manfrotto. As the Lastolite and Lastolite By Manfrotto brands transitions across to Manfrotto there will be a period of time where all three brands are still visible in the market. If you are about to purchase a Manfrotto lighting product please be aware that depending on your timing and stock availability, you may receive either a Lastolite, Lastolite By Manfrotto or Manfrotto branded version. Please be assured the product is exactly the same, just branded differently.

The HiLite Shapers & Masks includes three opaque black panels (1x 86cm wide, 2x 66cm wide) that hang on the front of the HiLite background 1.8 x 2.15m (item LB8867, not included). The shapers allow the photographer maximum control of the width of the strip of light leaving the HiLite softbox. Alternatively, the photographer can split the light into two strips on either side of the shaper panel. Each position offers a different lighting effect on the subject allowing the photographer to be as creative as they wish.

This set also includes three optional 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 especially when shooting in small spaces.

The shapers attach to the HiLite very easily. They are supplied with a collapsible aluminium pole that simply clips to the top of the HiLite and the shapers then hang from the pole. To ensure maximum stability two specially designed HiLite sand bags are included which sit over the lower HiLite rods.

The LL LB8967 HiLite Shapers & Mask is an accessory set for use with HiLite Background LB8867 size 1.8 x 2.15m only. Use the HiLite as a softbox. Unlimited creative potential. Simple to assemble. Easy to store and transport. Carry bag included.
