Charles_Webster Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 <p>I don't hardly use my barn doors any more. I mostly cut flags from Cinefoil (black wrap) and put them exactly where I need them.</p> <p>I just didn't find that the barn doors I have for my AB strobes were very effective, so I started using Cinefoil and found it to be a more precise way to control the light.</p> <p><Chas><br /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry_kenstler1 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 <p>A gentlemen on this forum once proposed a combination of the Bogen/Manfrotto Multiclip and, I believe, black Foamcore. I suppose Cinefoil would be better than the foamcore around tungsten and HMI. I've been meaning to try this combination, but have been doing just fine with my current flags, barn doors, and trusty Cinefoil.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig_shearman1 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 <p>Cardboard and gaffer tape work just fine on strobes. See www.strobist.com</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
