Manfrotto’s Lighting Control, Rapid Flag Kit
The new Rapid Flag Kits encompass all that experience and craftsmanship into this new game changing lighting tool, specifically developed for the user who needs all the lighting control and flexibility afforded by flags and scrims but requires a compact form that can be taken anywhere and set up in seconds.
Flags and scrims are crucial for controlling light on any set, from photography to cinema production. They diffuse, cut, or block light, aiding in crafting the desired lighting effect and realizing creative visions. Manfrotto’s Rapid Flags, equipped with foldable RapidExoframe™ technology, maintain all the functions of traditional steel frame tools but are exceptionally portable.
Manfrotto Rapid Flags
The collapsible, lightweight, yet strong aluminium frame quickly slots together thanks to an internal elastic cord onto-which the textile cover of choice simply snaps on via our specially developed perimeter clip, making for a super-fast set-up. Changing to an alternative textile could not be easier, just unclip and slide off the attached flag or scrim with ease and then attach another directly onto the frame, no time-consuming assembly required. With two frames and four textiles supplied in every kit, there are many combinations at hand for ultimate creativity.
The cleverly designed RapidExoFrame™ construction allows the frame to breakdown into small multiple sections and together with the included covers, packs neatly into the included compact carry case measuring only 42cm x 20cm x 10cm (16.5 x 7.8” x 3.9”) and weighing only 1.9kg (4.1lb) for the 18”x24” and 2.2kg (4.8lb) for the 24”x36”.
Versatile mounting and organization
The rigid cases’ internal compartments ensure everything is kept securely in place ready for the next shoot, aiding a fast set up time and improving workflow.
Another key feature of the Rapid Flags is the versatile mounting point, that allows them to be positioned easily using an array of grip solutions. Each frame features a 16mm (5/8”) baby receiver and a 10mm (3/8”) detachable steel mounting pin making the Rapid Flags ideal for use on tilt heads, support arms and lighting stands as well as grip heads and extension arms as found on set-staple products such as C-Stands.
