Rogue Grid Puts Three Flash-Shaping Tools in Your Pocket

The 3-in-1 Rogue Grid stacks to shape your light

The Rogue Grid from Expo Imaging is a clever, compact honeycomb-grid to shape the light from your off-camera flash. It has two stackable sections which fit together to make a third, meaning that this pocket-sized accessory takes the place of three bigger ones.

You use a grid when you want to precisely place a spot of light in your photo, without extra light spilling over the rest of the picture. The simplest ones can be made from an old section of cereal box with a handful of chopped-down black straws inside. A honeycomb-grid is like this, but with ? as you might guess ? honeycomb-shaped holes.

The above photo is confusing. There are actually two grids and one round bezel which holds them, not three as it appears in the picture. One gives a 25� beam, another a 45� beam. Stick them together and the holes line up perfectly, effectively making a longer tube with an even narrower 16� beam. The whole lot sticks to the flashgun with a strap. The set, including strap and carrying bag, is $50, More expensive than a box of drinking straws, but also easier to use.
