Precision Light Control in Your Pocket
The Strobepro Matte Black Light Control Foil is a must-have grip tool for photographers and filmmakers who need to block spill, reduce reflections, and shape light fast. Tear it, cut it, fold it, and form it into custom flags, cutters, snoots, or barn-door style blockers—perfect for studios, location shoots, and tight sets where you need clean control without bulky modifiers.
Strobepro Advantage
Built for real-world production work, Strobepro accessories are chosen for reliability, consistency, and practical performance. This matte black foil is designed to integrate easily with standard grip tools—so you can solve light problems on the spot and keep your setup moving.
What Is Light Control Foil Used For?
Light control foil (often called cinefoil or black wrap) is used to block, cut, and shape light when you need more control than a modifier alone can provide. It’s a staple in grip kits for preventing unwanted spill, reducing lens flare, and controlling reflections—especially in product photography, interviews, and commercial shoots where clean edges and contrast matter.
Feature Highlights
- Ultra-Matte Black Finish – Helps absorb stray light and reduce reflections for cleaner contrast.
- Form-Holding Construction – Bend and shape it into cutters, flags, snoots, or quick barn doors.
- Fast Cut-to-Fit Workflow – Trim with scissors or a utility knife for precise masks and blockers.
- Great for Spill & Flare Control – Block leaks around modifiers, doors, and fixture edges.
- Reflection Control for Product Work – Create small black masks near shiny surfaces and glass.
- Grip-Friendly Rigging – Easy to tape, clamp, or mount using common set tools.
- Compact Roll Size – 12" width is ideal for quick, portable light control on the go.
Make Custom Cutters, Flags & Barn Doors
When light is spilling onto the background, flaring your lens, or bouncing into places it shouldn’t, this foil gives you immediate control. Fold a crisp edge for a sharper cut line, wrap around fixture edges to stop leaks, or shape a quick snoot to narrow the beam. It’s one of those tools you’ll reach for constantly once it’s in your kit.
