FAQs

What is the main difference between the silver and white sides?

The Zig-Zag silver side provides a brighter, more contrasty light with a slight increase in sharpness. The neutral white side offers a softer, more diffused light that minimizes shadows.

Does the silver side change the color of the light?

No, the Zig-Zag silver finish is designed to not alter the color temperature of your light source.

Can I use this reflector with a continuous light source?

Yes, it is suitable for use with both flash and continuous lighting, provided the light source is compatible with the Sunbounce frame.

How do I clean the Zig-Zag silver surface?

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure it's dry before storage.

Is the frame included with the reflector?

No, this product is an interchangeable reflector and requires a separate California Sunbounce Bounce Wall frame to be used.

What are the dimensions of the reflector?

The dimensions will vary depending on the specific frame size it is designed for. Please refer to the product listing for the frame size compatibility.

Can I use this outdoors?

Yes, its lightweight and sturdy design makes it well-suited for on-location shoots, including outdoor use, provided it is properly secured.

Troubleshooting

Reflector does not attach securely to the frame.

Ensure you are using the correct size frame for the reflector and that the elastic edges are properly engaged around the frame's perimeter.

Visible creases or wrinkles on the surface.

Gently stretch the reflector over the frame. Small creases usually become less noticeable when lit. For persistent creases, allow the reflector to hang in a warm, dry place for a while.

Uneven light spread from the silver side.

Check the positioning of your light source relative to the reflector and subject. Ensure the light is hitting the reflector evenly and the reflector is positioned to bounce light as intended.
