Explore the world of professional photography and videography with the Butterfly Screen Wind-Killer by Sunbounce. This 12' x 12' durable and versatile screen is designed to tame the wind during outdoor shoots, making it an essential tool for photographers and filmmakers alike.
Constructed with high-quality materials, the Wind-Killer is a closed, square, 2-dimensional frame that's perfect for larger, static objects or installations. It's a staple in the film industry and is now making its mark in professional photography. Sunbounce has adapted this traditional design, making it portable and suitable for a wide range of applications.
The Wind-Killer can be equipped with both diffusing and reflecting screens, offering flexibility to meet your specific shooting needs. The frame sizes, adopted from film industry standards, are specified in feet, with the 12' x 12' size being a popular choice for its ample coverage.
What sets the Wind-Killer apart is its unique material. It's designed to control wind during photo and film shoots, where uncontrolled wind can cause disruptions or even ruin shots. Whether it's fluttering hair or clothing in a fashion shoot or difficulties for Steadicam operators, the Wind-Killer is the perfect remedy.
Unlike traditional wind blockers that use plates or impermeable cloths, the Wind-Killer uses a special fabric that allows only 25% of the wind to pass through as a gentle, steady breeze. This minimal airflow doesn't interfere with shoots, and even the highly sensitive gimbaled suspension of a Steadicam isn't disturbed by the steady current.
The remaining 75% of the wind is diverted to the edges, where it combines with the 25% that passes through the fabric, resulting in a smooth, controlled breeze. This innovative design eliminates undesirable turbulence near the edges, ensuring your scene remains undisturbed.
The Wind-Killer's lightweight design and grips on the frame make it easy to maneuver, while its transparent material allows you to see the effect created and adjust as needed. Join the many Steadicam operators and fashion photographers around the world who are already enjoying the benefits of the unique Sunbounce Wind-Killer.
