Matthews 48x48in Floppy Flag - Top Hinge

With this new design there are now three square corners instead of the two on the older design. In addition, the 48" x 48" frames have become squarer thanks to the removal of the "mouse ears". Flags are square or rectangular frames with mounting pins, covered with a sturdy fabric. They are used to control light, both natural and artificial.

Flags can be used to protect the camera lens from reflections, to control stray light from other sources, or to prevent light from reaching certain parts of the set.

Sizes up to 24" x 36" are called Flags; larger or irregular sizes are called Cutters. Floppies are flags with an extra layer of fabric sewn along one edge and held in place with Velcro until needed. At that point, the flag becomes twice the size of the original.

All Matthews scrims and flags are finished with a sturdy, colour-coded binding.
