Manfrotto Halo Compact Overview

From Manufacturer

Manfrotto has introduced the 32" Halo Compact 2-Stop Diffuser for image makers who want to travel light while taking full advantage of ambient light or minimal lighting gear to produce polished work. Able to set up in seconds, the Halo is built around a rigid metal frame to which the 2-stop diffusion material is attached. The versatile diffuser can be held or mounted in front of a light source, acting like an open-sided softbox to provide a soft, flattering quality of light with reduced contrast. Another frequent use is holding the Halo up over the subject's head to tame the harsh midday sun.

The supporting ring has a large, ergonomic handle that makes for a secure, comfortable grip when angling the Halo or holding it overhead. The frame also has 1/4" female threads and a 1/4" to 1/4" adapter for mounting options. The Halo folds down to a fraction of its open size to fit in the included bag for storage and transport.

Manfrotto Halo Compact Reviews

Very satisfied with this product

Purchased this item because I liked having the ability to hold the reflector with one hand in addition to being able to screw it in to a stand or articulating arm. Since this reflector is so light I am able to use the SMALLRIG Clamp w/ 1/4" and 3/8" Thread and 9.8 Inches Adjustable Friction Power Articulating Magic Arm and mount this to almost anything. In addition the deflector does a wonderful job spreading light that goes through it.

So Great!

Amazing and great difflector. So much better than the typical foldup type. It's very east to carry in a side pocket or clipped to bag. And once setup which is very easy and quick, its much more ridgid and holding by one had is simple. Great product. Can't recommend it enough.

Is it bad for this reflector or its shock cord to be stored long-term in its assembled form?
Asked by: Michael
The Manfrotto Halo Compact Difflector, Soft Silver (32") should be stored in collapsed form in its storage bag; however, if you store it open and flat, it shouldn't harm it. If it's stored upright, the frame could become warped over time.
