Flags - 4x4 Flop - Ultrabounce

When it’s the right call

Powerless fill — bounce your key (or the sun) back into faces and shadows. Also the honest way to turn one light into two. The 4x4 suits tight, single-subject work.

Where to set it up

Angle it opposite the key and feather the return into the shadow side; watch it in the monitor while a grip tilts. One or two C-stands with grip arms; bag every stand.

Get the most out of it

• Distance is your dimmer — walk it in until faces open up
• Bounce an HMI into it for a huge, natural soft key
• The black side doubles as negative fill — one rental, two tools
