Introducing the Control Grid for Aputure NOVA II 1×1
The Control Grid for Aputure NOVA II 1×1 is a professional lighting control accessory designed to effectively reduce off-axis light spill from the NOVA II 1×1 LED panel. By mounting directly in front of the fixture, this fabric control grid transforms a wide light source into a more directional beam, while maintaining minimal clutter on set.
Designed for cinematographers, gaffers, and lighting technicians, the Control Grid offers a quick and easy solution for fine-tuning light direction without the need for heavy or bulky accessories. It integrates seamlessly into film, television, and broadcast setups where controlling light spill is crucial.
Reduced spill light and increased directionality
The Control Grid for the Aputure NOVA II 1×1 works by reducing the projector’s native beam angle to limit lateral light spill. This reduced spill helps to better isolate a subject, prevents light contamination of the background or adjacent sets, and enhances the overall contrast of the scene.
Thanks to its textile design, the grid offers an excellent compromise between beam control and lightness. It allows for precise light shaping without significantly increasing the volume or weight of the setup, which is particularly advantageous for mobile shoots or compact setups.
Practical examples with the Control Grid for Aputure NOVA II 1×1
The Control Grid for Aputure NOVA II 1×1 is ideal for situations requiring more directional lighting, such as controlled key lighting, subject/background separation, or confined environments demanding precise control of light leakage. It is equally suited to studio sets and location shoots.
