New DoPchoice Spill Killer Stops The Leak

News Image
DoPchoice is to debut Spill Killer, designed to prevent light leakage and ensure a clean, professional look for set or location lighting.

The elegantly designed butterfly frame covers consist of two L-shaped light stoppers that slip easily on to the rim of a butterfly or frost frame, completely sealing light spillage and eliminating undesirable edges between a scrim, grid or flag. With the Spill Killer in place, tell-tale shadows from ties or elastic and the frame structure securing the diffusion or flag are eliminated.

Available in 4'x4', 6'x6', 8'x8', and 12'x12' sizes, (with 20'x20' coming soon), each Spill Killer is reversible, with a black side and a white side, that can be flipped depending on a scenario’s requirements. These quick setup shields attach securely via magnets which are stitched inside the cover, to protect the surface of the diffusion, bounce, or flag.

Each edge features a hook-and-loop central opening, so the Spill Killer can be mounted around the grip head of a pre-rigged a stand. The openings also allow users to attach additional accessories, or clamps on the frame. On each corner is a hidden grommet where safety cables can be secured. Removal is quick and each unit folds down neatly into its own convenient pouch for transport.

New Spill Killers will be on display during the AFC Paris Micro Salon at the MALUNA Stand, along with DoPchoice's other popular light modifying accessories.
