The industry standard for overhead light diffusion and mobile sun control.
The California Sun Swatter Pro is an essential tool for high-end fashion, commercial, and cinema productions shooting on location. Unlike static scrims, the Sun Swatter is designed to be mobile, allowing a grip or assistant to follow the talent and maintain consistent, soft lighting even in harsh, direct midday sun.
– Large 4×6′ (120x180cm) Coverage: Provides a massive “mobile shadow” large enough to cover two subjects or a full-body fashion shot with beautiful, wraparound light.
– Dual Diffusion Options:
- 1/3 Stop Silk: Offers subtle diffusion while maintaining some directional “punch” and contrast.
- 2/3 Stop Silk: Provides a heavier, creamier diffusion—perfect for eliminating harsh facial shadows and hot spots in bright environments.
– U-Shaped Frame Design: The unique “U” shape makes the frame extremely rigid while keeping it incredibly lightweight. It won’t bend or wobble, even in moderate wind.
– Boom Stick Included: The included extendable Boom Stick allows the operator to hold the scrim high above the talent’s head, keeping the frame (and the operator) completely out of the camera’s frame.
