Product Information
Full details
The Manfrotto HaloCompact Plus Cover (98cm) is an essential accessory for professional photographers and videographers who utilize the HaloCompact Plus system and require a versatile light-shaping solution. Designed for capturing couples, small groups, or larger product arrangements, this cover provides a 46% larger reflective surface than the standard 82cm model, though it is specifically intended for use with the existing HaloCompact Plus frame and cannot be used as a standalone reflector.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the frame included with this purchase?
No, this product is the fabric cover only and requires an existing HaloCompact Plus frame.
Can I use this cover on my 82cm HaloCompact frame?
No, this 98cm cover is designed exclusively for the larger HaloCompact Plus frame system.
How do I clean the reflective surface?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away any dust or surface marks. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges.
What is the primary difference between the silver and white sides?
The silver side provides a high-contrast, specular reflection, while the white side produces a soft, neutral, and diffused light.
Is this cover easy to fold away?
Yes, the fabric is designed to be flexible and can be folded or rolled to fit within the standard HaloCompact storage bag.
Troubleshooting
Cover appears too loose or sagging on the frame
Verify that all clips are fully engaged with the frame and that you are using the correct 98cm frame model.
Clips are difficult to snap onto the frame
Ensure the frame is fully extended and locked in its position before attempting to attach the fabric.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly larger reflective area for better light coverage
- Versatile silver and white surfaces for different lighting moods
- Fast and intuitive clip-on attachment system
- Collapsible design ideal for travel and location work
Cons
- Requires the specific HaloCompact Plus frame for operation
- Not compatible with the smaller 82cm HaloCompact frame
- Replacement cover only; does not include the frame or storage bag
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the cover, ensure you have the 98cm-compatible HaloCompact Plus frame fully assembled. Align the ergonomic clips located on the edges of the fabric with the corresponding points on the frame and press firmly until they snap into place.
Compatibility Note: This cover is strictly sized for the 98cm frame. It will not fit the 82cm system, and the 82cm cover will not provide the necessary tension for the 98cm frame.
Care Instructions:
- Keep the fabric away from sharp objects to prevent tearing.
- Wipe clean with a damp, soft cloth if the surface accumulates dust.
- Store in the original HaloCompact carrying bag when not in use to avoid permanent creases or debris buildup.
