4leaf Barndoor Set for Standard Reflectors Purpose and benefits: This barndoor set mounts on most standard reflectors to shape the light, control spill, and improve contrast. It helps you sculpt the beam and prevent unwanted light on the background. Construction and compatibility: Durable metal leaves mounted on a sturdy frame. Includes four leaves for flexible control. Fits most standard studio reflectors with quick mounting. How it works: The beam size is controlled by how wide you open the leaves. The distance from the reflector to the subject also affects the width and sharpness of the light shaft. Optional enhancement: An optional honeycomb accessory can be used with strobe heads to produce a more directional, focused beam exactly where you aim. Use scenarios: • Portraits: Shape facial light, create natural falloff, and minimize background spill. • Product photography: Achieve clean edges and controlled highlights on small items. • Video/film: Create distinct pools of light to separate the subject from the background. Why it's better: Reliable, easy to use, and provides precise control over light shape, direction, and intensity without modifying your core lighting setup.
