We have just received two new items which we think will become very popular.

The first is the Westcott 54″ diameter Round Halo Mono, an umbrella-softbox. We have yet to shoot a test with our mannequin head, but we are expecting this to be favorable.

The second is a Westcott 8x8ft Scrim Jim kit (with only 1-stop diffusion fabric available at this time). It is a remarkably compact foldable frame which we see as fitting perfectly between the Chimera Panel Frames, and the Matthews / Heavy Duty Frames. The kit will pack down to a regular stand bag length, in yet our early assessment is that this is strong enough for general out door location work. Perfect for those South Island jobs.

Both items are available to rent immediately:

$25p/day HALO
$50p/day SCRIM JIM 8×8 kit (inc 2x stands, sandbags, 1-stop diffusion, frame)
$40p/day SCRIM JIM 8×8 kit (no stands or sandbags)

TESTS: Look out for our lighting / set up tests, which we will post here very soon using these new units.
