Manfrotto HaloCompact Silver and White 82 cm. This reflector has a patent pending design concept that makes the everyday reflector and diffuser panel even more portable than ever! Unlike many traditional reflector/diffuser panels that incorporate a steel rim pop up design, the 82cm HaloCompact is constructed using Manfrotto innovative RapidExoframe™ technology. The collapsible lightweight aluminium frame quickly slots together and the reflector or diffuser fabric cover simply clips onto the frame. The cleverly designed RapidExoframe construction allows the frame to breakdown into small multiple sections and along with the folded fabric packs into a carry case measuring only 6.5 x 27 x 6.5cm weighing only 390g (HaloCompactReflector and case).

The HaloCompact also features an ergonomically designed handle so it can easily be held and accurately positioned with one hand. The handle also incorporates a very useful ¼” thread (plus a ¼” to ¼” adaptor), enabling it to be easily attached to various different support systems, to offer secure positioning further away from camera position.The HaloCompact is available in two versions –the first is a double-sided reflector, with silver one side and white the other. The second version is as a 2 stop diffuser. The two covers are also available separately.
