20 Degree Honeycomb for 7" Standard Reflector

20 Degree Honeycomb for 7" Standard Reflector Description

Honeycombs have two primary uses.

1. To deliver a small, soft-edged pool of light to add emphasis (for example to emphasize high cheekbones or to produce an irregular circle of light on the background
2. For use of a backlight that doesn't produce lens flare, except when pointing almost directly at the lens.

Pro Tip -When used as a back light, flare is avoided at an angle less than that of the honeycomb.

The honeycomb will fit to ANY standard reflector designed to be used with honeycombs, provided that the reflector has a diameter of 7", so it can be used with Elinchrom, Bowens, Hensel, Balcar and other reflectors with a 7" external diameter. However, with many standard reflectors it is not possible to use a honeycomb with the modelling lamp fitted, due to the length of the modelling lamp. Which is why we developed the Honeycomb Reflector in order to allow for use of both the modelling lamp and honeycombs. Although please don't leave the modelling lamp switched on for long periods of time with honeycombs attached.

If you’re using a DSLR camera, you can get the background out of focus if required, simply by using a larger aperture and moving your subjects away from the background.
