I bought one of these softbox/illuminated backgrounds a few years ago. Absolutely amazing but as one of the other reviewers mentioned, after a few short month the white translucent front starts to turn a yellowish/red and become a pain for post edit. Is there anything I can clean the front translucent front material with to get it back to white??
Asked by: Kenyon
I have the same problem and it's preventing me from buying another one. Currently investigating alternative ways to create a white background for executive photography.

Has anyone used this for video production to simulate a white infinity cyc? I was thinking about lighting this with Aputure lights and was curious if anyone has done that setup...
Asked by: Matt
It is possible to use the Manfrotto HiLite for video production. However, we would not recommend using an LED more than 200 watts being that this product is not intended for use with continuous lighting.
