And while many of the solids and floppies will get used a ton – many of the flags on the cart will sit there doing nothing. Rosco Slideys were designed to fix this by enabling image capture professionals to slide one over a flag or gel frame and quickly turn that unused piece of gear into another tool needed on set.  ## **A Versatile Tool For Lighting Control** This patent-pending system can convert virtually any 24"x36" (61 x 92 CM) or 48"x48" (1.22 x 1.22 M) gel frame or flag – even torn or damaged flags – into a reflector, a bouncer, or a small blue or green screen.

The Silver and Gold Slidey have a soft, pebbled side and a hard lamé side, the Muslin Slideys are unbleached on one side and bleached on the other, and the Chroma Key Slideys provide both blue screen and green screen options.  **[![Person flipping a dual Silver Slidey during a bottle product shoot.](https://spectrum.rosco.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Brandfolder%20Assets/Brandfolder/Rosco%20blog%20Introducing_Rosco_Slideys.gif?width=520&height=293&name=Rosco%20blog%20Introducing_Rosco_Slideys.gif)](https://spectrum.rosco.com/hubfs/Brandfolder%20Assets/Brandfolder/Rosco%20blog%20Introducing_Rosco_Slideys.gif?hsLang=en)** ## **Easy To Transport And Store** Perhaps the biggest advantage of Slideys is their ability to fold up for storage when not in use. The alternative is to have dedicated foam boards, which take up a lot more space on set, in a warehouse, or on a truck. For example, it would take eight 48”x48” rigid boards to do the same job that a set of four Slideys can do.  ## [![Comparison showing a list of eight 48x48 inch rigid boards versus four folded Rosco Slideys.](https://spectrum.rosco.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Brandfolder%20Assets/Brandfolder/Rosco%20blog%20Slideys%20comparison%20copy.jpg?width=1200&height=450&name=Rosco%20blog%20Slideys%20comparison%20copy.jpg)](https://spectrum.rosco.com/hubfs/Brandfolder%20Assets/Brandfolder/Rosco%20blog%20Slideys%20comparison%20copy.jpg?hsLang=en)**Available Now!** Rosco Slideys are available wherever Rosco products are sold.
