120x120cm Foldable Flag Frame Floppy
$100.00 /day
An industry-standard, breakdown 120x120cm (4×4 foot) professional foldable floppy flag panel system, now available for premium grip rental in Hong Kong. Custom-engineered with a breakdown frame for easy transport and a double-expansion roll-out cloth that converts it into a massive 4×8 foot light cutter.
A 10% damage waiver fee will be applied to your order in the rental basket unless proof of own insurance can be supplied.
The 120x120cm Foldable Flag Frame Floppy—widely recognized across elite motion picture sets by its definitive imperial footprint of 4×4 feet—is an absolute titan of large-scale cinematographic lighting modifier architecture, making it a heavily demanded asset for renting in Hong Kong. Traditional rigid 4×4 solid frames are notoriously difficult to transport across HK, requiring a dedicated cube van just to move them between locations. This brilliant, next-generation modifier solves that problem entirely by incorporating a premium breakdown metal frame that folds down to half its physical length in seconds, allowing it to slide effortlessly into standard passenger vehicles and compact equipment cases.
When executing an equipment hire for high-stakes narrative cinema, large corporate commercials, or high-contrast automotive styling sessions, controlling massive light wraps is mandatory on HK production sets. This premium modifier is engineered as a “Floppy” style architecture. Stitched from an ultra-dense, light-absorbing matte duvetyne fabric, it functions as a rock-solid 4×4′ square light cutter in its standard configuration. However, by simply releasing the heavy-duty hook-and-loop fasteners, a secondary fabric layer drops down instantly, expanding the panel into a colossal 4×8 foot solid black wall. This allows local gaffers to establish an instant negative fill matrix or flag off large overhead spill paths with surgical efficiency.
Applicable Scenarios:
-
Instant Colossal Negative Fill: Deploys right beside a subject on fashion or narrative sets, expanding to its full 4×8′ configuration to completely swallow environmental reflections and carve deep, dramatic character shadows.
-
Large Studio Backdrop Spill Suppression: Flags off broad stray light paths generated by high-output fixtures like the Aputure LS 1200d Pro, keeping dark backdrops flawlessly dark inside sound stages in Kwun Tong or Chai Wan.
-
Camera Lens Flare & Matte Box Flagging: Positions overhead or to the side of a camera rig to shield high-end cinema lenses from harsh grazing sunrays during outdoor location work across Hong Kong.
-
Innovative Foldable Breakdown Frame: Premium articulated metal joints allow the massive 4×4′ frame to fold down effortlessly into a highly compact travel footprint.
-
Double-Expansion Floppy Architecture: Built-in drop-down fabric panel instantly doubles the physical light-blocking surface from a 4×4′ square to a massive 4×8′ flag.
-
Velvet-Black Duvetyne Fabric Absorption: Heavy-duty matte black textile completely swallows stray non-axial rays, guaranteeing absolute zero spill leaks or bounce.
-
Integrated 5/8″ Solid Grip Mounting Pin: High-tensile steel mounting pin locks solidly into any standard 4.5-inch grip head (Gobo/Hollywood Head) without slipping or rotating.
-
Industrial-Grade All-Metal Build: Rugged structural skeleton maintains intense textile tension and keeps a perfectly flat profile under harsh outdoor wind resistance.

-
Q: Is the fabric shell completely separate from the frame, or do I have to string it up on set?
A: The fabric shell wraps around the breakdown metal frame securely via high-tension structural sleeves and hook-and-loop fasteners. While it can be removed for cleaning, our HK studio counter usually supplies the unit pre-assembled and checked for tension, allowing you to simply unfold the frame, lock the joints, and start shooting within seconds.
-
Q: Can I mount this large 120x120cm floppy safely using a standard 2.5-inch grip head or a regular light stand?
A: Absolutely not. Due to its heavy all-metal frame construction, substantial 4×4′ surface volume, and extreme wind resistance when fully dropped into its 4×8′ layout, it carries an integrated heavy-duty mounting pin. For absolute safety on set, it must strictly be rigged into a heavy-duty 4.5-inch Grip Head (Lollipop/Junior Gobo Head) mounted on a robust Combo Stand or a reinforced C-Stand, heavily weighted at the base with multiple sandbags.
-
Q: Can this black duvetyne fabric withstand the heat of hot theatrical lights?
A: Yes, absolutely. The floppy panel is fabricated from premium, flame-retardant industrial-grade duvetyne cloth built specifically to handle the intense thermal outputs and continuous high heat of professional cinema fixtures without warping, melting, or degrading.
-
Q: How is the rental fee calculated?
A: The rental fee is calculated on a 24-hour basis per rental period at Dream Scenes Studio Hong Kong.
-
Q: Is a deposit required?
A: Yes, a corresponding deposit is required for all equipment rentals in HK.
-
Q: What payment methods are accepted for the deposit?
A: We accept credit card authorization for the deposit, which is fast and convenient for local and international crews.
