The Aluminium Frame Support Kit is a versatile accessory compatible with the Manfrotto Skylite panels, Panoramic backgrounds, EzyFrame backgrounds and the StudioLink Chroma Key background system.

This useful adjustable support can be used in three different ways.

The first is as a handle for the smaller Skylite panels. The handle can be configured to a width of 1.1m, 1.5m or 2m, allowing it to be used on the 1.1m x1.1m, 1.1m x 2m (either dimension), 1.5m x 1.5m and 2m x 2m Skylites. The handle simply attaches to either side of the Skylite’s aluminium frame and provides a sturdy crossbar to be handheld or attached to a support stand using the Manfrotto griphead (LL LA8446).

The second application is as a support leg to support a Skylite, Panoramic, EzyFrame or StudioLink in the vertical position. As with the handle the leg can be used as the 1.1m, 1.5m or 2m length depending on which product the user is looking support. The leg simply attaches to the aluminium frame at one end and the other end rests on the floor. The floor end of the support leg features a useful eye hook to allow the easy attachment of a sandbag for added stability.

The third application enables the user to support a Skylite on the ground at different angles depending on the length and angle of the leg, creating a useful directional fill light.

Skylite Rapid Small reflector Kit 1.1 x 1.1m includes:

• Skylight Rapid Frame Small 1.1m x 1.1m (3’6” x 3’6”)(LL LR811)
• Silver/White reflector (LL LR81131R)
•1.25 Stops Diffuser (LL LR81107R)
• Skylight Rapid Rigid Case (LL LRCASE1025)

The Skylite Rapid system

The rectangular SMALL panel is a very versatile size, easily mounted onto a single light stand (using the optional Skylite Rapid Griphead LL LA8446) or light enough to be hand held. It is available in kit form or as individual components allowing you to build your own configurations. The covers available for the MEDIUM frame include: 0.75 stop diffuser, 1.25 stop diffuser, silver/white, black/white, sunfire/white and black velvet.

The Skylite panels are the go to solution for location imagemakers who need to diffuse or reflect their light source in the most demanding situations. The lightweight, rapid assembly aluminium rigid frame offers ultimate stability even in windy conditions, whilst the clip on covers offer a complete range of diffusion and reflective surfaces. Each framework collapses down into a neat, compact and very portable rigid carry case. An elastic cord runs through the aluminium making it impossible to lose parts or leave anything behind.

The StudioLink Background system

The StudioLink Background is a unique modular chroma key photography background system for use in the studio or out on location.

Once assembled, multiple 3 x 3m (10’ x 10’) StudioLink screens can be joined together using the StudioLink Chroma Key Connection Kit (available separately) to form various configurations; side by side in a straight line or as a curvature up to the point of creating a full 360 degree enclosure. In addition, screens singularly or side-by-side can be rigged (using standard grip equipment) one above the other to create a second tier of screens.

In order to join the screens together side-by-side, the optional StudioLink Connection Kit includes three hinge brackets to join the aluminium frames and a ‘clip on’ chroma key joining strip to conceal the aluminium frames and the hinge brackets. When using screens one above the other or when standing a screen on a chroma key floor, each clip on the chroma key cover incorporates a six inch sewn in skirt on the bottom edge to conceal the aluminium frame and provide a continuation of the chroma key surface to the panel below or the floor.

StudioLink Chroma Key Connection Kit is available separately. Available in green and blue.

Individual covers are available for users who may want to switch between chroma key green and blue.
