Lastolite Announce New Baby Posing Coat
 

March 28th 2011, Lastolite Limited, the world’s leading manufacturer of backgrounds and lighting control systems for the photo, video and cinema industry, has announced the launch of the new Baby Posing Coat.
 
The new Baby Posing Coat is made of soft velvet-like, light absorbing fabric. It effectively becomes the background of the shot without it being obvious the parent is involved. The hood can ‘disguise’ the head of the parent for ‘over the shoulder’ shots, whilst the large sleeves allow the parent’s hands to be hidden or exposed. The coat reduces the child’s stress and anxiety by

allowing the parent to hold them, thus helping the shoot to run smoothly. Available in one size, the coat is secured with hook and loop fastenings.
 
         Main Features and Benefits:
 
1.                Made of soft, light absorbing fabric
2.                Hood and sleeves to disguise head and hands of parent
3.                One size fits all

Pricing and Availability:
 
The Baby Posing Coat is available now at SRP £70.00 Inc.
