FAQ

How is the 8x8 skirt used when the mat is rigged overhead?

Aputure's 8x8 instructions have the skirt velcroed to the perimeter for overhead use to control light spill. Attach it one side at a time with the fastening flaps, then use the corner zippers and fasteners to shape each side.

Why add a skirt to a big overhead INFINIMAT?

The skirt limits spill off the sides of the 239 x 239 cm softbox, while the separate Control Grid 8x8 on the face controls the direction of the light.

Do the INFINIMAT 8x8 and 20x20 kits include the skirt?

Yes. The INFINIMAT 8x8 with Clear Softbox includes one Control Skirt 8x8, and the 20x20 with Clear Softbox includes four, plus a Control Skirt 20x20.

Skirt or grid on the 8x8: which one do I need?

They do different jobs. The grid fits on the face to control direction; with 1-stop diffusion at 5,600K Aputure measures 20,550 lux at 1 m without it and 11,380 lux with it. The skirt goes around the perimeter to control side spill and does not cover the face.
