Introducing the Daylight Grid Cloth 1/2

The Daylight Grid Cloth 1/2 is a medium-density ripstop nylon diffusion fabric that attenuates light by approximately 2 stops while maintaining directional rendering. Available in 6×6 (1.8×1.8 m) , 8×8 (2.4×2.4 m) , and 12×12 (3.6×3.6 m) sizes , other sizes can be provided upon request from our sales team .

General and essential features

The standard 1/2 Grid Cloth offers significant attenuation without completely eliminating contrast or the directional structure of light. This fabric is not specifically treated to reduce wind noise: a slight rustling sound is possible in windy conditions. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Equipped with grommets, side cords, and elastic corners, it easily attaches to a butterfly or overhead frame.

Practical use cases

• As an overhead on a 12×12 frame (3.6×3.6 m), it effectively diffuses an intense source, producing a soft and directional light (~2 stops).

• In vertical profile, it serves as a medium diffuser panel, perfect for diffusing an LED or HMI source without completely uniformizing the lighting.

• Best suited for studio or outdoor use without specific requirements for silence, where a slight noise does not disrupt sound recording.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What is the light loss with this canvas?

   Approximately 2 stops, offering a good balance between diffusion and directional contrast.

2. Is it silent in the wind?

   No, this standard version is not treated for silence. For a noise-free alternative, refer to the Silent Grid Cloth 1/2.

3. Can it be used as an overhead shot on a frame?

   Yes, it is perfectly suited for frame mounting for structured light diffusion.

4. Does it change the color of the light?

   No, it is colorimetrically neutral, without the introduction of any dominant color or filtering.
