Introducing the Daylight Grid Cloth Full

The Daylight Grid Cloth Full is a heavy-duty diffusion fabric made of reinforced ripstop polyester, designed to offer dense diffusion (~2.6 stops) with directional rendering, while retaining some contrast. It is available in 6×6 (1.8×1.8 m), 8×8 (2.4×2.4 m) , and 12×12 (3.6×3.6 m). Larger sizes are available upon request from our sales team.

General and essential features

Grid Cloth Full is used to soften light while retaining some of its directionality, unlike more diffuse fabrics such as Magic Cloth or Silk. Its reinforced structure makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor shoots, but it is not designed to be silentand can generate noise in strong winds.

This fabric features elasticated corners and eyelets for easy mounting on butterfly-style diffusers, overhead or vertically. Widely used with high-power LED or HMI sources, it offers a natural and balanced light distribution.

Practical use cases

• As an overhead on a 12×12 frame (3.6×3.6 m), it produces a heavy diffusion (~2.6 stops) ideal for modulating intense light (sunlight, Fresnel HMI, LED COB) while maintaining modeling.

• In vertical profile, it acts as a main diffuser, perfect for smoothing a source without totally flattening the image.

• Suitable for studio or outdoor set configurations, except in environments requiring total silence, as it may produce a slight rustling sound in the wind.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What is the light loss with this canvas?

   It generates a loss of approximately 2.6 stops, offering a dense and controlled diffusion.

2. Is it silent in the wind?

   No, this standard model is not designed to reduce noise. For a quieter alternative, consider the Silent Grid Cloth Full.

3. Can it be used as an overhead?

   Yes, it is designed to work effectively on overhead frames, especially in direct natural light.

4. Does it alter the color temperature?

   No, it is colorimetrically neutral, without any color cast or filtering.

5. Are there other versions of Grid Cloth?

   Yes, Grid Cloth also exists in 1/4, 1/2, and Silent, allowing for different levels of diffusion or use in sound-sensitive environments.
