About SUNBOUNCE

SUNBOUNCE is a professional equipment supplier for mobile light-shaping systems, founded in 1999 by Wolfgang-Peter Geller in Egestorf (Lüneburg Heath). The product portfolio includes collapsible, three-dimensional reflectors, diffusers and light blockers for the photo, film and video industry, including SUN-BOUNCER 3D, SUN-SWATTER 3D, SUN-SCRIM, SUN-MOVER and BOUNCE-WALL as well as the SUN-SNIPER camera strap system. The frames are made of aluminum, the screens/coverings from specially developed wide-width fabrics that are sewn by hand in Germany; extra-wide fabrics up to 500 cm without a seam are a specialty. Several patented technologies originate from the founder's professional practice; he won the World Press Photo Award twice. Production and worldwide distribution to international distributors and certified trade partners take place from the Egestorf site near Hamburg.
