Grids are made up of cells that control off axis light in four directions while maintaining the soft quality inherent in a large light source
They allow you to create separation & depth such as a hair light where you want to control just the light going onto the hair in order to separate it from the background
Eliminate spill & flare:
As light is focused into a forward direction through use of a grid, it can help to eliminate spill light or lens flare
40-degree spread of light:
The off axis portion of the light is controlled by the cell size
The cell size (measured in degrees) describes the maximum cutoff angle of the off axis light
A 40-degree grid is the most popular degree used
Light loss:
Light loss at the centre axis is minimal at a distance 3 to 4 times the diagonal dimension of the light source
On most models it is less than a 1/4 a stop of light
Perfect for travel:
Grids are soft grids that collapse down for easy transport and travel
Included carry case:
Each unit comes with an included nylon carry case
Easy attachment:
Grids easily attach through the use of hook and loop tape
When attaching, place your diffusion panel about 1/2 way in on the hook tape
This will leave enough room for the egg crate to attach directly in front of the diffusion panel
Perfect fit:
Grid corners are left unattached in order to provide the perfect fit
This allows you to stretch the grid taut and avoid sagging or drooping
