I Created a PORTABLE V-Flat for Under $100
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лип 2024
- Create your own portable, collapsable V-flats for under $100 that easily fit in your car. V-Flats are a great way to control light in a studio but if you shoot on location they can be a real pain to transport.

Even with all the effort I would still rather do this than buy the grossly overpriced VFlatworld joints! Great video!
Thanks! Even the collapsible ones they have to fold up this small, as far as I've seen. I also wanted something that was less than 8' high so it would fit in most spaces.
Awesome...thank you
Nice! Thanks.
Great video. I will need to make a pair of these
Amazing. I was thinking build this one after checking the Vflat price.
Thank you for your research and time. I was searching for the links for the same setup for the blackboard.
Sweet! Freaking hockey tape!
haha that was great! thanks KPR! I'm going to give this a go :)
We’ve been looking for more portable flags for our high key setup and this is amazing. I don’t have a truck so it was a pain lugging our diy foam flats around. I’ll try this with black foam core too
I wouldn't recommend them for backdrops but they are great for bouncing and flagging light.
hahahahahhaa excelente
Good content.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video - thanks for sharing ;-) I would lobe to know now - after some usage - how do you find they hold up? Would you have done anythings differently / different materials etc.? Thanks a lot in advance ;-)
This is the only way I make v-flats, even for the studio. Hockey tape is CRITICAL and tapping the sides is critical. It prevents warping and edges stay in good shape. They'll last a decade or more of regular use.
Just came across your channel! Love your style and sense of humour. Any suggestions for having black on the other side? Haven’t been able to find black/white foam board in Canada and concerned that paint/glue would warp the board
Your only real option is to order from V-Flat World. Everyone I know just has separate blacks and whites.
@@StudioBuilder ok thanks, might try gluing white and black foam boards together and then following your instructions and see what happens.
That was fantastic. Can't wait to build a couple for myself. What was the total time you figure it took?
It would take less than an hour if you're not also trying to film a UA-cam video and you don't have to stop mid-build to go pick up your dog because the carbon monoxide alarm is going off in your building.
@@StudioBuilder Hahaha. That's completely fair. I'm pretty sure I can spare an hour or two to make a couple of these.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪🏼💪🏼🫵🏼 nicely done! thanks
