Handheld Kino Flo?

[dcho787]

Hello,

I have this picture in my mind of a guy holding Kino Flo that is about 2ft by 2ft, with a handle grip in the back. It would be great if something like this exists - does it? Or was it purely my imagination? Please tell me where I can find something like this - or a better alternative.

Thanks,
David

Litepanals, I haven't personally used them, but I've heard good things.

Also, just found that guy. Not sure the litepanel product here but, yeah call NASA, see what they say. Haha, good luck man.

I don't think they have square kino's, there are however, kino's that are like 1 foot by 2 feet. If you want someone to hold it, I'd just use the vaccum plate that comes with it and put it in a sort of downward position. If you need another place to grab it, you can either just grab the side or attach a cardelinni to one end to act as a handle.

I was on a shoot a while ago and we had one of our grips handhold a 2kgrin. To prevent himself from getting burned, he used that cardelinni trick and it worked pretty well.
