Westcott V-Flat Fabric Black

The Westcott V-Flat Fabric Black is a replacement or additional fabric cover designed for use with any Westcott V-Flat frame. Made from durable, stretchable fabric, it provides a deep black light-absorbing surface that is ideal for creating negative fill, blocking unwanted light, or serving as a clean backdrop. Unlike traditional foam core, it won't warp, dent or chip, and when it gets dirty it can simply be machine washed and used again. It attaches to the V-Flat frame in seconds, making it quick to adapt your lighting setup on set or in the studio.

  • Portrait photographers who want greater control over shadow and contrast.
  • Studio photographers replacing bulky or fragile foam core panels.

Take Control of Your Light

The black fabric is designed to absorb rather than reflect light, making it ideal for adding negative fill, increasing contrast, and creating more sculpted, dramatic portraits. It can also be used to block windows, flag unwanted light, or reduce spill where greater lighting control is needed.

More Than Just a Flag

Mounted to a Westcott V-Flat frame, the black fabric can also be used as a simple backdrop or wedge wall, helping to isolate your subject from distracting surroundings while creating a clean, professional-looking background.

Built for Regular Use

Unlike traditional foam core panels that are prone to dents, chips and warping, the V-Flat's stretch fabric is designed to withstand repeated use. When it becomes dirty, simply machine wash it and it's ready for your next shoot.

William ★★★★★

The stretchable fabric pulls taut in seconds with zero wrinkles, and it’s held up through three shoots without sagging. I grabbed a second one just to keep a spare ready for when the first gets dirty.

Kevin I. ★★★★★

The fabric stretches snugly over the frame without any wrinkles, making setup quick. I've noticed it effectively cuts out stray light for cleaner product shots. Great for adding another option to my lighting kit.

Ava Z. ★★★★★

I needed an extra for my V-Flat setup and the stretchable fabric fits perfectly and stays taut. The black surface does exactly what I need for controlling light spills during indoor shoots.
