B&H assembled this Angler Collapsible Background II and Impact Multiboom Kit to give you a complete background rig for studio or location shoots. You get the Angler 5 x 7' Impact Collapsible Background II and a 13' maximum height Impact Multiboom Light Stand and Reflector Holder.
This 5 x 7' Angler Collapsible Background II features reversible black and white sides that are useful for product shots and portraits as well as high-key and fashion photography. Its lightweight construction is suitable for studio or location shoots and it folds down into a compact circle for convenient transport and storage.
Made from 100% cotton, the bright white background gives a soft reflection that's great to use as a subtle and diffuse fill light. The black side absorbs light, helps eliminate unwanted reflections, and can deepen shadows. The collapsible background is stretched on a steel frame that creates a smooth surface and won't create inconsistencies in your lighting. The frame is self-supporting, so you can lean it against a wall or pole without an assistant to hold it up.
The Impact Convertible Boom Arm/Light Stand can support a small or medium light head to a height of 13'. Raise the second section completely, click, and it is a boom stand. As a boom, it can hold a small light head to an extension of almost 3' from the center of the stand.
It is a reflector holder by means of its two clips, which can support an Impact, Flexfill, or Photoflex light disc as large as 60".
A hole at the end of the arm allows an optional counterweight to be hung, for greater stability.
- Loosen the large long handle in the middle of the stand.
- Loosen the top-most section of the stand. Pull that section all the way up.
- Pull! Swing it horizontally for the boom feature, and lock it for the desired setup.
