Who Needs an Assistant when you have TriGrips?

by Learn More Photo 1 Comment

Came across this great article from Terry White today When I don’t have a photographic assistant via the Imaging Insider.

The LastoLite TriGrip comes in a number of different flavors. There’s are the 18″, 30″, 48″ and the jumbo 58″ sizes. My personal opinion is don’t waste your time or money with an 18″ reflector. I’m going to focus on the 30″ variety because I find 30″ to be the best value. It is my Goldilocks: not too big, not too little and not too expensive for the immense amount of use it sees!

Tri Flips are ” bottle tops” for Tri Grip reflectors are sold as a set of two reversible covers that include; silver, gold, white, black, sunfire and the Designed for Digital colors of sunlite and soft silver. The best part about the TriFlip covers is that they won’t fall off and don’t need any zipping up; the TriGrip’s unique triangular shape you can slip the TriGrip into a TriFlip sleeve and pop open the TriGrip to have a very portable full spectrum reflector kit!

This is a great upgrade from any 30″ TriGrip diffuser kit or a great way to keep spares of your most commonly used reflective surfaces – cause they sure wear down with excessive use – and now you don’t have to buy a whole new reflector – just the TriFlip covers!
