Hilite 1.8m x 2.15m Shaper

Hilite 1.8m x 2.15m Shaper

The Manfrotto by Manfrotto Shaper is an 86cm wide opaque black panel that hangs on the pole from the top to the bottom of the HiLite. This effectively masks the light from the Hilite to create a single strip of light or split the light into two strips on either side of the shaper panel.

The HiLite Background

The HiLite ‘illuminated’ Background provides photographers with a truly portable high key solution. When launched, it revolutionised photographers approach to high key and quickly became the go to product for image makers around the world. Photographers soon realised that the HiLite Background could also be used as a softbox. In fact an incredibly large full-length softbox, offering beautiful soft light.

However, like any softbox, photographers need to control the shape, direction and intensity of the light to unlock the full range of creative opportunities. With this in mind, Manfrotto By Manfrotto have launched three new creative accessories for the HiLite 1,8 x 2,15 m.

Manfrotto Shaper

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 allowing the photographer to be as creative as they wish.

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 subjects eyes.
