The new BI-FOLD, which won Newsshooter’s Best Lighting Innovation Award at NAB 2016 this year, offers a new approach to soft LED lighting.
The BI-FOLD is similar in many ways to the BI-FLEX2 and 4 lights, but designed to withstand much more abuse.
Rather than being comprised of a single, flexible Panel, the BI-FOLD can be folded flat for positioning or transport.
1×1’ Individual waterproof (IP67) aluminum-cased panels are connected together to form either a 1×2’ or 1×4’ unit.
Each Panel has an integrated diffuser to soften the light further, and uses the same Universal Dimmer/power supply as the BI-FLEX2 and 4 Kits, allowing you to power a BI-FOLD2 or 4 Kit via a Gold Mount or V-Lock battery.
One of the main advantages of the BI-FOLD is that you can create a two-person interview with just one light simply by folding the Panels flat so that soft light is projected in either direction. With the BI-FOLD4 Kit, you effectively have a 1×4’ light panel that folds down to a 1×1’ case!
As you might imagine, the modular nature of this light will raise the bar on both location and studio light approaches everywhere.
