Product Information
Full details
This Broncolor Strip Mask is for photographers using the 150cm Octabox who need to modify their light output. It transforms the Octobox into a softbox with a more regular, traditional light, or creates a very narrow strip of light when used with a 30x180cm softbox. The primary benefit is enhanced light control and shaping capabilities. A caveat is its specific compatibility with the 150cm Octobox and potentially other specific softbox sizes.

FAQs
What is the main purpose of the Broncolor Strip Mask?
The primary purpose is to modify the light output of a Broncolor 150cm Octobox, transforming it into a more traditional softbox light or a narrow strip of light when used with a compatible softbox.
Can this mask be used with any Broncolor Octobox?
This specific mask is designed for the 150cm Octobox. Compatibility with other sizes may vary and is not guaranteed.
What kind of light effect does it create with a 30x180cm Softbox?
When used with a 30x180cm Softbox, it creates a very narrow, 10cm (3.9in) wide strip of light, ideal for rim lighting or specific dramatic effects.
How easy is it to attach the mask?
The mask is designed for straightforward attachment to compatible light modifiers using integrated securing points.
How should I clean the strip mask?
Gently clean with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth, avoiding excessive moisture. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Does the strip mask reduce light output significantly?
Any diffusion modifier will cause some light loss. The exact amount depends on the light source and the specific setup, but it is generally a trade-off for controlled light quality.
Troubleshooting
Mask does not attach securely
Ensure you are using a compatible Broncolor 150cm Octobox or a 30x180cm Softbox. Check for any obstructions on the light modifier's edge or the mask's attachment points.
Light diffusion is uneven
Verify that the mask is centered correctly on the light modifier and that all edges are properly sealed. Ensure the light source itself is positioned centrally within the modifier.
Mask shows signs of wear or damage
Inspect the mask for any tears or punctures. Clean gently as per care instructions. If significant damage is present, consider replacement to ensure optimal light quality and safety.
