A few years ago, I was covering Photo Plus Expo in New York and Westcott showed me what was then a prototype of their Flex LED. These LED light mats were made from a tough waterproof surface and could be used in small spaces or (with an adapter) on a light stand. They immediately caught my attention. The Flex Series has been evolving ever since, adding the Scrim Jim frames and various sized mats to the lineup, but always keeping that slim and shapeable form factor and rugged build quality. And their latest addition is just as exciting.

Just recently, I got a chance to try out the brand new Westcott Flex Cine RGBW LED System. This new Flex Cine Series is available in RGBW, bi-color, and daylight with sizes ranging from 1' x 1' to 2' x 2'. As before, the Flex mats are durable, lightweight, pliable, and super thin (just ⅓” thick)! Perfect for concealing in tight spaces, these mats can even be rolled to create a 360-degree beam spread. The Flex CINE Series is water resistant (IP 64 Rated) and Westcott backs them for life, so I can see these quickly becoming workhorses for both cinematographers and photographers.....
