Cardboard Grid Spot




There are a few ways to make a grid spots. Some people use straws, while others use cardboard. Well, I used cardboard. I think it's about the easiest to make.
Just cut some cardboard into 1 & 1/2 inch (or smaller) wide strips. Your hight and length will vary from flash to flash. Glue them together and your golden. You might want to wrap a rubber band around them while the glue dries to help them stick better. I found some really thick cardboard so it only took three strips to cover the front of my flash. Once everything is done drying, you hold the grid to your flash with a rubber band. See how easy that was?
An example of using this grid...

Because the width of my cardboard strips are wider, the size of the light spot
that comes out of the grid is quite small
