Westcott V-Flat Black

Westcott V-Flat

V-Flats have been a studio staple for decades. Now, you can take them anywhere and never worry about warping, chipping, or denting. The Westcott V-Flat is a professional light control system with a collapsible aluminum frame, washable fabrics, and a carry case. It sets up fast, packs down small, and is built to last. 

Block, shape, and flag light with precision. Two 41" x 84" (104 x 213 cm) sides open to 82" x 84" (208 x 213 cm) for full-length coverage on any shoot. Use it as a freestanding background or negative fill source. 

When your shoot wraps, the V-Flat collapses into a compact 45" x 9" x 6" (114 x 23 x 16 cm) carry case that fits in your car, closet, or a checked bag. 

Negative Fill and Flagging 

Use the black fabric to absorb light, deepen shadows, and sculpt faces with contrast and dimension. Flag stray light on a video set, cut spill from a second source, or block a difficult window on location without reworking your entire setup. 

Freestanding Background 

The V-Flat stands independently, so you can position it anywhere as a freestanding backdrop or wedge wall. Cleanly separate your subject from a busy or unflattering environment without a backdrop stand, a wall, or extra equipment. 

Collapsible Frame Built to Last 

The durable silver aluminum frame handles years of assembly, teardown, and transport. It adjusts from 15 to 180 degrees to shape light precisely without moving your main source. Magnetic support feet with rubber bases keep the sides stable throughout the session. 

Reusable Fabric 

The V-Flat's machine washable, stretchable black fabric does not warp, chip, or dent. White fabric is available separately for creating soft, flattering fill light.
