[New Product Info] On March 31, we are releasing the FLAT backdrop: made of resin, it is resistant to curling and tearing, yet lighter than paper.
Nissin Japan Ltd. will release the "FLAT Background," a lightweight background sheet designed to dramatically reduce the burden of transportation and location photography, on March 31, 2026.
Made from a resin material, it overcomes the "curling" and "tearing" issues common with traditional background paper, providing a consistently stable and flat shooting surface. The setup is simple: just hang it from the batten of a "Bo-Ref" (reflector pole). Its surprising lightness and durability will reduce setup time on-site.

Features
■ High Portability with Ultra-Lightweight, Minimalist Design
The support system for the "FLAT Background" utilizes the ultra-lightweight "Bo-Ref System," consisting of a batten and reflector holder. The total weight of the entire system is approximately 1kg. This minimizes the total equipment weight, maximizing efficiency for travel and transport.
■ Setup Possible with Just One Light Stand
It employs a "two-point tension system" that uses the flex of the carbon batten to support the background. Since only one light stand is required, it can be used in tight spaces with a minimal footprint.
■ Flexible Background Positioning
The two battens (arms) rotate on the holder axis, allowing for angle adjustments. You can freely control the background position to suit your shooting requirements.
※ Please be aware that excessive tilting of the battens can shift the center of gravity, making the setup prone to tipping over.
■ Highly Durable Resin Construction, Yet "Lighter Than Paper"
Made of a resin material with just the right amount of stiffness. It is resistant to curling and tearing, allowing for quick setup and breakdown. Furthermore, it is approximately 10% lighter in GSM (grams per square meter) than standard background paper, reducing the burden during transport and setup.
The surface features a smooth matte finish with high whiteness, and its opacity is equivalent to that of standard background paper.
■ Versatile Mounting with Loop Elastics
In addition to being used with the "Bo-Ref" system, the included loop elastics allow it to be flexibly attached to your existing poles or stands.
※ The Batten SR-B (2P), Reflector Holder RH-100C-R/RH-100C-R II, and light stand are not included. Please prepare them separately.
