Softbox frame Lastolite Rama Skylite Extra Large 3×3 m support frame for fabric modifiers LL LR833

Lastolite Rama Skylite Extra Large 3×3 m support frame is a structural accessory designed to hold large Skylite softboxes and diffusion panels. The rectangular 3×3 metre frame creates a stable mounting platform for stretch fabrics and light modifiers, enabling the construction of a large, even light source suitable for studio and location work. The frame is intended for use where broad, diffused illumination is required, such as group portraits, product setups, and set or background lighting.

Advantages

The support frame provides a stable and rigid structure to tension large stretch fabrics and diffusion materials, helping to maintain consistent shape and surface flatness across the entire 3×3 m area. Its design is focused on compatibility with large Skylite-style fabric modifiers, simplifying setup for large-format soft light. By creating an even diffusion plane, the frame helps reduce hard shadows and produce smooth, controllable light distribution over wide subjects.

Suitable for

• Group portrait and fashion shoots requiring a large soft light source
• Product photography and still life with wide, even illumination
• Studio and location set lighting where a rectangular diffused light is needed
• Use with large Skylite softboxes, diffusion panels and stretch fabrics

When it may not be suitable

This support frame is a large, structural accessory and requires adequate transport space and a suitable support or rigging system for safe installation. It is not intended as a complete softbox kit — users will need compatible stretch fabrics, diffusion materials and a lighting source to create a functional soft light system.

Key specifications

• Frame dimensions: approximately 3 × 3 metres mounting area
• Shape: rectangular/large-format support platform
• Intended use: supporting stretch fabrics and diffusion panels for large soft light
• Application environment: studio and on-location photography
• Compatibility: designed for large Skylite-style softboxes and fabric modifiers

How to use

Mount the frame on a suitable overhead rig, tall light stands or scaffolding rated for the frame size and the combined weight of fabric and lighting. Stretch the compatible Skylite fabric or diffusion panel evenly across the frame and secure at the attachment points to avoid wrinkles or sagging. Position the light source or sources behind the diffusion material, ensuring even spacing and power distribution to achieve uniform illumination across the 3×3 m surface. Follow standard safety practices for rigging and secure all fixtures before use.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure you have sufficient transport and storage space for a 3×3 m frame
• Confirm compatibility with your existing fabrics, diffusion panels and lighting fixtures
• Verify that you have an appropriate rigging or support system rated for the frame size
• Plan for assembly time and any assistants required for safe setup

Usage recommendations

Use the frame with evenly spaced light sources and properly tensioned diffusion fabric to achieve the smoothest light. When shooting large groups or sets, position the frame to cover the entire subject area and maintain a consistent distance between lights and diffusion to avoid hotspots.
