150x200cm Butterfly Frame with Diffuser
$150.00 /day
A professional, lightweight 150x200cm (approx. 5×7 foot) modular aluminium butterfly frame system pre-bundled with a high-grade White Silk Translucent Diffusion textile, now available for premium gear rental in Hong Kong. Custom-tailored for mobile mid-sized interview sets and rapid outdoor location setups.
A 10% damage waiver fee will be applied to your order in the rental basket unless proof of own insurance can be supplied.
The 150x200cm Butterfly Frame Kit with Diffuser (closely aligning with the highly requested imperial footprint of 5×7 feet) is an absolute foundational masterpiece of mid-scale cinematographic lighting control and location portrait grip infrastructure, making it a highly requested asset for renting in Hong Kong. While massive 8×8′ or 12×12′ butterfly panels are physically impossible to deploy inside compact local indoor locations, and small 24×36″ flags fail to provide complete body wrapping lighting, this 150x200cm system hits the absolute sweet spot. Fabricated from structural, lightweight square-profile aluminium framing sections, it splits down into a compact profile for easy transport and rapid assembly on set.
When executing an equipment hire for fast-paced commercial video interviews, fashion lookbooks, or continuous multicam corporate productions, establishing absolute structural control over harsh direct highlights is mandatory on HK sets. The complete master kit bundles a rugged, snap-locking mechanical metal frame skeleton together with a premium White Translucent Silk Diffusion panel. This technical lighting textile smooths out direct stroboscopic flash lines or sharp continuous LED arrays (like the Aputure LS 600d Pro or Forza 500 II) completely, spreading harsh raw hot-spots into a beautifully uniform, window-like diffuse wall that naturally flatters skin micro-textures. The modular outer framework comes equipped with two specialized grip ear adapters to mount solidly onto heavy-duty stands.
Applicable Scenarios:
-
Flattering Mobile Interview Key Light: Placed directly between your key lighting fixture and subjects inside tight office boardrooms or co-working spaces in Central, creating a gorgeous soft source without cluttering tight real estate footprints.
-
Mid-Scale Fashion & Editorial Lookbooks: Provides a generous, rectangular diffuse that beautifully tracks seamless highlights and organic shadow fall-offs across half-body or three-quarter modeling frames.
-
On-Location Outdoor Sun Softening: Acts as an agile overhead or side diffusion scrim during fast-moving outdoor location sets in locations like Sheung Wan alleys or Tsim Sha Tsui piers, instantly melting away harsh midday facial shadows.
-
Perfect Mid-Scale 150x200cm Footprint: Hits the absolute golden ratio for mobile location work, offering large-scale wrapping soft diffusion while navigating tight local spaces effortlessly.
-
Premium Weight-Saving Aluminium Frame: Low-profile structural square aluminium border handles high structural tension while stripping away the excessive bulk of traditional heavy iron steel frames.
-
High-Efficiency Translucent White Silk: Premium optical diffusion textile eliminates harsh specular hot-spots cleanly without shifting native color temperature indices.
-
Modular Breakdown & Rapid Setup Build: Frame tubes breakdown easily into a travel-friendly configuration, utilizing quick-locking structural corners to snap together on set in minutes.
-
Integrated Heavy-Duty Frame Grip Ears: Includes two rugged mechanical metal frame ears that seat natively into standard 2.5-inch universal grip heads (Gobo Heads) on heavy stands.

Q: Is the external support metal frame included inside this specific rental package?
A: Yes, absolutely. Unlike our extra-large butterfly items (which list fabrics independently), this specific mid-sized listing is a complete kit bundle. It includes the modular breakdown aluminium frame framework, the white silk diffusion cloth, the framework mounting ears, and the elastic tie bungees all together in one carry case. You only need to add two heavy-duty stands (such as C-Stands or Combo Stands) equipped with standard universal grip heads to secure it on location.
-
Q: What is the exact light loss factor when projecting through this White Silk diffuser?
A: The included White Silk translucent panel introduces a natural exposure attenuation of approximately 1 full stop (f-stop). It balances light transmission power with efficient scattering properties, seamlessly converting harsh direct specular lines into a flattering, feathered ambient source.
-
Q: Can I use this 150x200cm butterfly frame safely outdoors on location in Hong Kong?
A: Yes, but because a 1.5 x 2 meter fabric canvas captures wind paths like a sail on location, we strictly advise against utilizing lightweight travel stands. For absolute safety and rock-solid alignment, the frame ears must be locked into standard 2.5-inch Grip Heads mounted on heavy-duty C-Stands or robust Combo Stands, heavily weighted at the base with multiple sandbags.
-
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.
