Plume Tools for Traveling
Fools |
"Ms. Necessity
is the Mother of Invention." Here are some "not
necessarily conventional" solutions for the imagemaker
pressed into the cruel, uncertain world of life on the edge
- useful tools for studio, location and travel. The
following implements are for the truly crazed lightmongers
as they duel darkness in the great abyss. |
|
|
PLUME BOOM,
counterweight, pivot and extensions all together for
the traveling photog. Not a multi-part design with a
killer counterweight on the loose. The captured internal
7 lbs. (3.2 kg) counterweight and the "boom" end
telescope from center to a six foot overall length or
until balanced. Collapses to 40 inches (one meter).

GRID SPOT "CHIMNEY",
the extreme hard edged opposite of a WAFER. Not a grid spot
reflector, but an all black non reflective grid spot holder.
The CHIMNEY holds the standard 7" grid spots (Balcar,
Comet, Dynalite, Speedotron, Calumet) for any flash head
listed among our WAFER Rings. Used with this grid honeycomb,
the CHIMNEY fractures the light of the flash tube itself.
Excellent for use with glass brick and other extreme crosslight
manipulation. It is possible to mimic a grid spot reflector
by adding some diffusion behind the grid spot. Slotted for
filters [and for cooling]. 150 Watt max modeling lamp. Price
depends on which adapter for your flash head.
Chimney for Most Flash. Price depends on which "brand" Wafer
Ring you need for your flash head + $15 |

| PLUME SOFT
REFLECTOR, total madness. Conventional reflectors
take up too much travel space while changing shape
in transit. Now the pre-dented car concept - a white
glass/alum fabric reflector which just happens to
accept 7 inch honeycomb grid spots. Collapses for
travel, takes shape for use. 150 Watt max modeling
lamp. Price depends on which "brand" Wafer
Ring you need for your flash head + $15 |

AUXILIARY MODELING
LIGHT ADAPTERS to add 500W [2 x 250W] of
extra continuous light to the modeling you are already
using. For blind photographers with the eight-ten
at maximum bellows; or as an easy add-on when the
session calls for a still and a video take. Two double
bayonet sockets with switch box attach to our aluminum
ring.

| The new TRILIGHT-
digital DTP lighting as simple! as one, two, three 30Watt
(read: 90 Watt total) self ballasted lamps (in 110V or
220V, specify) in a fixture with reflector- provides
a continuous, cool, high frequency light equal to at
least 300 Watts of tungsten. The lamps are balanced at
6500K, a bluer phase of daylight to feed the weaker blue
channel in video and digital CCD imaging. Perfect DTP
solution with Cocoon and Stratosflex. 10% discount for
two or more. (Note: Trilite is 85 CRI, great for 3CCD
imaging, not recommended for human color judgment -
see Scandles.) Price: $350 |
