ExpoImaging, Inc. Introduces Rogue Lighting Kits for Speed Lights: Starter Kits, Portrait Kits and Master Lighting Kits

New Rogue Lighting Kits Deliver Portable, Versatile, Studio Style Light Control for Speed Light Photographers

 ExpoImaging, Inc., which markets, designs, manufactures and distributes innovative camera accessories to the photographic market, today announced availability of three new Rogue Lighting Kits for small strobe lighting enthusiasts.

“The variety of Rogue modifiers in the Rogue system now makes the creation of kits a natural step,” said Erik Sowder, CEO of ExpoImaging, Inc. “Our versatile small strobe lighting tools combine portability with unparalleled lighting control for event and location photographers. Whether you’re just getting into lighting with your first flash, or you’re an experienced wedding photographer using multiple speed lights, our new lighting kits encourage experimentation and foster creativity with innovative soft boxes, bounce flash reflectors, flags, grids and gels.”

The Rogue Starter Lighting Kit is an entry-level collection of versatile light modifiers designed to improve the quality and variety of lighting choices available to photographers using speed lights on- or off-camera. The Starter Lighting Kit includes: Rogue Small FlashBender Reflector, Rogue Small Diffusion Panel, Rogue Bounce Card/Flag and Rogue Universal Flash Gel Kit.

The Rogue Portrait Lighting Kit is a larger collection of light modifiers providing greater light control for portrait and event photographers shooting with multiple speed lights. The Portrait Lighting Kit includes: Rogue Large FlashBender Reflector, Rogue Large Diffusion Panel, Rogue Bounce Card/Flag, Rogue Universal Flash Gel Kit and Rogue 3-in-1 Honeycomb Grid.

The Rogue Master Lighting Kit is for the most advanced speed light photographers looking to create multiple lighting set-ups using combinations of the kit’s soft box, bounce flash reflectors, flags, honeycomb grids and colored gel kits. The Master Lighting Kit contains: Rogue Large FlashBender Reflector, Rogue Large Diffusion Panel, Rogue Small FlashBender Reflector, Rogue Bounce Card/Flag, Rogue Universal Flash Gel Kit, Rogue 3-in-1 Honeycomb Grid and Rogue Grid Gel Kit.

Patented Rogue light modifiers offer versatility and maximum creative possibility in a minimum amount of space. Rogue FlashBenders pack flat, attach quickly, and change shape to allow a single reflector to control bounce flash, flag a background, or create a snoot. Rogue Diffusion Panels attach quickly and convert FlashBender reflectors into small soft boxes. The Rogue 3-in-1 Grid features stacking honeycomb grids to create 16˚, 25˚ and 45˚ spot lighting control. Rogue Gels are made from high quality Lee Filters and have the gel name and f/stop loss printed onto each gel.

Vacation!

And with that the Kennedy/Krump clan heads out in the footsteps of the Griswold family.

The Vanished Twin family will be out on vacation for the next week and some change.

When we return keep an eye out for some new posts and exciting announcements!

I have made the move.

New products from LumoPro

We're happy to announce 3 new products today! Available for order at your closest Authorized dealer!




The first product we're announcing is an all new light stand! Introducing the LP734 Ultra Compact Background Light Stand!

Building on the successful design of the LP605 Compact Light Stand, the LP734 provides a more compact solution to table top, macro, or back lighting situations. The little brother of the LP605, the LP734 was the idea of a photographer who need a back light stand that provided a light at around 1 foot off the ground.

After a few months of designs and revisions the LP734 entered into production as one of the worlds lightest and smallest light stands. Legs full fold into the center column of the stand to provide maximum portability. Built from rugged aluminum with 4 section the LP734 provides even more stability with retractable ground spikes. It features a 3/8ths thread on top with the LP605-1 ¼-20 adapter. 5 year LumoPro Int’l warranty valid through authorized dealers.
 

The second product we're introducing is the new LP736 5-in-1 Reflector Panel Kit!

The LP736 panel kit is the most compact and versatile design of its size, folding into a small carry case. An excellent array of reflectors on location or in the studio. The 3 included 40”x72” panel reflectors are reversible reflective silver and optical white, gold and black, and translucent allowing for 5 different reflector options in one kit.

The removable Ball head on provided stand allows you to pivot the panel in almost any direction and can be mounted on any 1/4"-20 or 3/8" accessory. Reflect light from under, to the side or above a subject. Stand can be used as a standard light stand when not using the panel and includes 3/8" and 1/4" 20 threads on a 5/8" male top.

 

Wrapping up the product announcements with a small but extremely useful tool! Available soon at dealers in 2 packs and 10 packs new LP728 Bungee ties!

Good organization of equipment includes a few key components. One of these components are bungie ties. Easily tie up cords, wrap two flash units together, easily strap radio units to light stands.

These ultra durable ties feature strong nylon with composite ball ties that have teeth to help secure the attached nylon stretch cord.
