90x180cm Poly Board (Black & White)

$50.00 /day

Premium dual-sided lightweight structural foam expansion panel, commonly known as a studio V-flat or foamcore board, custom-profiled at 90x180cm (3×6 foot) for agile studio tracking, now available for rental in Hong Kong. Features a high-efficiency bright white surface on one side for pristine soft bounce tracking and a light-swallowing matte black block on the reverse. (Note: This rental package covers the poly board only; mounting accessories are available for rent separately.)

A 10% damage waiver fee will be applied to your order in the rental basket unless proof of own insurance can be supplied.

The 90x180cm Poly Board (Black & White)—measuring a practical 3×6 feet—is a standard lighting control tool for commercial studios and fashion photography sets, making it a popular choice for equipment hire in Hong Kong. This rigid polystyrene board is very lightweight, allowing solo creators or assistant crew members to move and reposition it easily during a shoot to adjust the direction of the light.

When renting lighting gear for corporate headshots, fashion lookbooks, or product photography in Hong Kong, having portable control over reflections makes setups much easier. This board offers two useful surfaces:

The White Side: Provides a uniform, soft diffuse reflection that lifts shadows naturally, making it a great choice as a soft fill light for video interviews or close-up portraits.
The Matte Black Side: Works well for negative fill or blocking light, allowing you to absorb ambient reflections, reduce unwanted bounce, and add depth to your subject’s face.

Applicable Scenarios:

Quick Handheld Soft Fill: Can be held next to your subject to bounce ambient light or continuous LED light back into the face for a soft skin texture during location shoots in Central or Tsim Sha Tsui.
Product Negative Fill: Position the black side near glossy objects, jewelry, or clothing models inside studios in Kwun Tong or Chai Wan to reduce ambient studio bounce and define clean edges.
Blocking Stray Light: Can be placed between a high-output fixture and the camera to block stray light rays and help prevent lens flares.

Practical 90x180cm (3×6′) Size: Provides a useful half-body reflection or light-blocking area while remaining easy to use in compact Hong Kong studio spaces.
Dual-Surface Functionality: Features a matte neutral white surface on one side and an ambient light-absorbing matte black surface on the reverse.
Lightweight Rigid Foam Core: Keeps the board flat and stable during use, avoiding the bulk and weight of traditional heavy metal frames.
Neutral Color Reflection: The white surface treatment reflects light cleanly without causing noticeable color temperature shifts.
Flexible Standalone or Clamped Mounting: Can be propped against walls, taped together into corner V-flats, or held securely using standard foamcore clamps and grip heads.

Premium 90x180cm (3×6′) Dual-Sided Black & White Poly Board Panel x 1
(Note: This rental listing covers the standalone poly board panel only. Poly board mounting forks, heavy-duty C-Stands, universal grip heads, and sandbags are available for add-on rent separately at our Hong Kong studio.)

Q: Does this rental item include a light stand or mounting fork clamp?
A: No, it does not. This rental covers the standalone 90x180cm black & white poly board panel only. It is intended for crews who plan to prop the boards against walls, tape them into custom multi-board V-flats, or use their own grip equipment. If you need it to stand vertically on a stand, please remember to add a Poly Board Fork Clamp (Duckbill/Beadboard Clamp), a C-Stand, and a sandbag to your rental order.
Q: Will the white coating shift the color temperature of my lights?
A: No, the professional poly boards feature a matte optical treatment on the white side. It is designed to reflect light cleanly, helping maintain the accurate white balance of your continuous LED lights or studio strobes without causing significant color tint shifts.
Q: Can I tape multiple boards together to create a folding studio V-Flat?
A: Yes, this is a very common application on production sets. Because the foam core is lightweight, you can use standard gaffer tape on the borders to hinge two or more panels together, creating a standalone, folding V-flat setup in a few minutes.
Q: How is the rental fee calculated?
A: The rental fee is calculated on a 24-hour basis per rental period at Dream Scenes Studio Hong Kong.
Q: Is a deposit required?
A: Yes, a corresponding deposit is required for all equipment rentals in Hong Kong.
Q: What payment methods are accepted for the deposit?
A: We accept credit card authorization for the deposit, which is convenient for local and international crews.
