This product is the workhorse of all lighting sets. It's flexible, yet solid and forms well, holding its shape. I'm very satisfied with this. We use it on location outdoors, inside and outside the studio on all our shoots. I'd never shoot without it around. Very good product and price.

Practical, but could be thicker
Use this foil as improvised flags & gobo's. I had expected it to be thicker. It is adequate, but would be better if it wouldn't tear as easily.

This item is under valued. It is far more durable than anticipated and can be used over and over with minimal waste if properly stored. Great product!

It might feel a little bit thinner than the last stuff I was using, but it bends like aluminum foil and blocks light. What more can I ask?

Comments about Gam Blackwrap - 12"x50' Roll:
For the price this roll of black rap is the way to go. The build of the material is strong and long lasting. Once a piece is separated from the roll and used you can fold it up for many future jobs.
This size is perfect for small to medium sized lighting setups. You can also double up for extra width.
Overall an essential part of any cinematographers kit for controlling light.

I use blackwrap with fresnels to create light splashes and patterns. Cut or tear the desired pattern and clip the blackwrap onto the barndoors. Great cheap way to create background patterns.
