Product Information

Full details

The Manfrotto TriFlector MkII is designed for portrait and fashion photographers who need precise, studio-quality control over catchlights. Its primary benefit is the ability to shape light precisely using three adjustable panels, allowing for customizable reflections in a subject's eyes. While it is a highly versatile tool for professional shoots, users should be aware that it requires a separate lighting stand for mounting, as one is not included in the purchase.

FAQs

Does this product come with a light stand?

No, the light stand must be purchased separately.

Can I use the TriFlector outdoors?

Yes, it can be used outdoors, but because of its surface area, it should be held by an assistant or secured firmly to a stand to prevent it from catching the wind.

How do I switch between silver and white?

The reflective panels are reversible. You can remove the fabric from the frame and reattach it with the desired side facing outward.

Is this suitable for headshots?

Yes, it is specifically designed to create professional-grade catchlights for headshots and portrait photography.

What is the primary benefit of the three-panel design?

The three-panel design allows you to independently control the light reflection from the left, right, and bottom, giving you complete command over the shape of the catchlights in the subject's eyes.

Troubleshooting

Hinges feeling loose

Check the hinge tension adjustment points and tighten them gently to ensure the panels hold their position.

Reflective panels appear wrinkled

Ensure the panels are pulled taut across the frame during setup and stored flat in the carry bag when not in use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of control over lighting angles
  • Lightweight and portable design for location work
  • Durable hinge mechanisms for consistent positioning
  • Versatile reversible panels offer two distinct lighting styles

Cons

  • Light stand must be purchased separately
  • Requires manual adjustment for each of the three panels

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the TriFlector, unfold the frame and attach the desired reflective side (Silver or White) using the integrated touch-fastener strips. When mounting to a light stand, ensure the stand is centered and properly weighted to prevent tipping. The hinges can be tightened if they loosen over time with heavy use. Always fold the panels carefully back into the provided carrying bag after cleaning the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth to prevent fabric creasing or surface scratching. Avoid exposing the reflective material to moisture or harsh chemicals.
