Like opal but quiet?

[Patryk_Rebisz]

Looking to get a very light diffusion - like opal but without the noise. Silk kills too much light for the specific diffusion effect. Any ideas?

1/2 soft frost or hi-lite

What do you mean by noise? Like literally? Have you done the tape-and-cup trick?

Yes, like noise in the wind. What the trick you speak of?

GnE brothers out here usually take a solo cup or something similar and place the open face of the cup against the 4x4 skinned frame of diffusion and then they take a strip of 1" gaff tape and tightly tape from one side of the 4x4, across the bottom of the cup and to the other side, kind of like a suspension bridge. Keeps the slack of the diffusion extra taught and thus won't make noise in moderate to mild wind. I wish I had a pic to show.

I see. Thanks!

Pushing a C-Stand knuckle into the center of the diffusion to take up slack is another technique.

Try 252. Exactly the same diffusion characteristics, but a much tougher gel. A lot harder to rip as well.
