Panel Frame Kit
INSTRUCTIONS

Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Impact Panel Frame Kit. This lightweight
portable light reflector kit helps you turn harsh direct sunlight into a
well-balanced, beautifully lit photograph or video. The Panel Frame
Kit comes in its own sturdy carrying bag, and can be assembled
without tools in 5 minutes or less. The reversible reflector gives you
the choice of a silver zebra or a gold zebra pattern. The silver zebra
gives a neutral specular reflected light, and the gold zebra delivers a
warmer, slightly softer light. The Panel Frame can be hand-held or
mounted to a stand for better images, no matter what the lighting
situation.

The Panel Frame helps to reduce contrast and gives you well-balanced light even
in harsh sunlight. You can vary the amount of fill light by moving the reflector
closer or further from your subject. The silver side gives you a neutral colored
specular light with moderate contrast, while the gold side produces a warming
effect with slightly softer contrast.

1. Decide which surface you want
to use.
2. On the opposite side of the
reflector from the side you’re
using, install the two cross bars.
3. There are three gaps in the fabric
guides that hold the supporting
poles. Use the two gaps nearest
each end of the reflector to mount
a cross bar. Do not use the gap in
the middle for mounting a cross

bar.

4. Place the latch lock that’s on
the end of the cross bar onto the
support pole in a gap between
sections of the fabric guide near
the end of the reflector.
5. Seat the latch lock on the support
pole, and close the latch, locking
the end of the cross bar to the
support pole.

6. Place the other end of the cross
bar in the gap directly across the
reflector from the first one.

manner as above. The curved
part of the cross bar should
protrude toward you.

8. Repeat this process with the
other cross bar in the gaps near
the other end of the reflector.
Note: Always be sure to keep the
Panel Frame well-anchored when
using it outside. Even a light
breeze can move it or knock it
over if it’s not properly weighted.
9. The Panel Frame is now ready for
use. The two cross bars provide a
secure grip for holding the panel,
or they can be used to mount the
