Westcott V-Flat Frame and Fabric Kit Black

The Westcott V-Flat Frame and Fabric Kit Black is a portable alternative to traditional foam core V-Flats, giving photographers and filmmakers precise control over light wherever they shoot. Combining a lightweight aluminium frame with a durable, machine washable black fabric cover, it is ideal for creating negative fill, blocking unwanted light, flagging spill, or even serving as a freestanding backdrop. It opens to a full-size 208 x 213 cm working area, folds into a slim carry case, and can be assembled by one person in under five minutes, making it equally suited to studio and location work.

A Modern Alternative to Foam Core

Traditional V-Flats are an essential part of many lighting setups, but they are often awkward to transport and easily damaged. The Westcott V-Flat replaces rigid foam core with a collapsible aluminium frame and interchangeable stretch fabric that won't chip, warp or dent, making it ideal for photographers and filmmakers who regularly work both in the studio and on location.

Complete Control Over Your Lighting

The black fabric absorbs rather than reflects light, allowing you to create stronger shadows, add negative fill, and increase contrast for more dramatic portraits and cinematic lighting. It is equally effective for blocking windows, reducing unwanted spill, or standing alone as a clean black backdrop or wedge wall.

Built for Fast, Everyday Use

The frame assembles without tools in just a few minutes and folds neatly into the included carry case for transport. Magnetic support feet with non-slip rubber bases keep the V-Flat securely positioned throughout your shoot, while optional white fabric is available separately if you also need a highly effective reflector.
