The very scientific test pops.

Notice the pic on the wall. The only print we have on the walls.

Grids for bigger softboxes cost a shitload of money, but they offer amethod of control which is very important.

This here is a DIY- grid  made  of black cardboard for the lastolite ezybox. It does not look much but it did not cost anything either  (3-4e.) How hard it is to mesure 5cm gaps and cut to halfway, anyways?

Couple of big disadvantages. 1) Its made of cardboard, it will not handle moisture very well and the life expectency is not too high. 2) Its not difficult to make, but it is no snoot either – I would not want to break it or leave it to location. 3) No way it will travel easily. The grid-contructure holds it shape pretty good so it woun’t collapse – its also a good thing because it will just taped to the ezybox and not suspended with velcra like real grids.

One advantage: It did not cost anything! If I like the look that it brings to the photos I’ll make a better one or buy one and fit it to ezy..
