Illuminated Background
The HiKey Illuminated Background lights a subject from behind like a large softbox. Easily eliminate extra shadows on the background and produce HiKey images for portraits, products, and style.
Free-Standing Design
A sturdy, integrated metal frame and four frame supports allow the Illuminated Background to freely stand on its own. So, no matter where it is set up, you can have background lighting behind your subject.
Flexible Frame
A flexible frame allows the background to collapse down to one third its size. This allows the background to be easily transported from one location to another or stored in the included carrying case.
Side Lighting
Large, zippered openings on each side of the Illuminated Background make it easy to insert strobe and LED monolights, with reflectors, into the background maximizing the light output with an even spread from each side. The 19" deep background has ample room to accommodate a variety of light units.
Touch-Fastener Background Attachment
A touch-fastener strip around the edge enables attaching backgrounds or colored fabrics to alter the lights color. Change a photo's mood without having to carry spools of paper.

Asked by: Luis
A 4' x 6' x 34" background with similar diffusion material and light source would produce a greater lux value than the Angler HiKey Illuminated Background (6 x 7').

Train floor

Train floor
Asked by: Jay
The Angler HiKey Illuminated Background (6 x 7') (B&H# ANIB20067), like similar products from other manufacturers, does not have a train (i.e., floor) section. However, a long and thin muslin cloth background could be used for that such as the Impact Muslin Background (White, 10 x 24') (B&H# IMBGW102) draped over the Angler HiKey Illuminated background and running along the floor toward the camera.

Is the back black or also illuminated?
Asked by: Dawnavan
The back of the Angler HiKey Illuminated Background (6 x 7') is black and not illuminated. You would need to place 2 monolights on either side for it to be illuminated or lit.
