We are happy to provide recommendations, help you plan your space, assist with the installation, and provide instructions on how to use the product effectively.

They do not include a light source. Since different applications require different lighting setups, we are happy to provide specific recommendations based on your particular needs.

We typically have all products in stock. Orders generally ship within one business day via FedEx Ground.

InflateAlite replaces heavy tubing with high-pressure inflatable frames. This makes our lightbanks significantly lighter, safer to rig, and much faster to assemble(minutes vs. hours).

Currently, we offer industry-standard footprints including:

• 12' x 24' Overhead Lightbank
• 12' x 12' Overhead Lightbank
• 12' x 12' and 8' x 8' Butterfly Frames

Yes! We designed our systems to be compatible with standard grip equipment. Some diffusions, grids, and silks designed for standard butterfly frames will fit our inflatable frames, provided the dimensions match.

InflateAlite requires little assembly. Simply layout the fabric, connect our Li Battery Air Pump, and watch the frame take shape in under 3 minutes. Secure the diffusion with the integrated heavy-duty Velcro.

We recommend lightweight LED mats or "bare-bulb" fixtures. Ensure your fixtures are properly secured to the internal mounting points. 

Note: Avoid high-heat tungsten lamps that exceed the fabric’s temperature rating.

Our frames feature reinforced D-Rings and handles at multiple attachment points. They can be supported by four stands or suspended from a grid. Because they are lighter, they put significantly less strain on your rigging than traditional metal frames.

Unlike a bent aluminum pole, a small puncture is easily field-repaired. Every unit includes a repair kit. Clean the area with alcohol, apply the glue to the surface of both the structure and the patch, wait until drys and use a hairdryer to re-activate the glue, stick it on and rub the backside of the valve tool and you’re back in action. For major structural damage, contact us for professional servicing.

Check the charge level. We recommend "topping off" the battery after every shoot. If storing for long periods, charge the battery to ~50% every 3 months to maintain cell health.

1. Check Pressure: Ensure the valves are tightened fully. Temperature drops (e.g., moving from a hot truck to a cold studio) can cause air to contract.
2. Valve Seal: Check for grit or hair in the valve seal.
3. Weight Limit: Ensure the internal lighting fixtures do not exceed the recommended payload for that specific frame size.
