Kupo 24”X36” Open End Flag Kit, KT-2436K
$300.00 /day
An industry-standard, professional 24×36 inch (60x90cm) open-end flag and scrim kit from Kupo, now available for premium grip rental in Hong Kong. Features five interchangeable wire-rim frames containing Black Solid, White Silk, Single Net, and Double Net fabrics to master light path attenuation.
A 10% damage waiver fee will be applied to your order in the rental basket unless proof of own insurance can be supplied.
The Kupo 24”X36” Open End Flag Kit (KT-2436K)—celebrated globally by its definitive imperial footprint of 24×36 inches (60x90cm)—is an elite, all-in-one professional lighting control matrix engineered for high-end cinema and demanding studio setups, making it a heavily requested asset for renting in Hong Kong. Moving completely away from flimsy, non-rigid collapsible reflectors that warp over time, this industrial-grade toolkit features Kupo’s legendary open-end spring steel frame design. By leaving one structural edge open and borderless, these frames allow gaffers to place modifiers incredibly close to camera lens frames or feather light paths seamlessly without casting hard edge lines or rigid framework shadows onto the scene.
When executing an equipment hire for high-stakes narrative feature cinema, premium commercial product shoots, or dramatic high-contrast video interviews, total creative authority over light modification is mandatory on HK sets. The KT-2436K master kit furnishes your crew with five highly specific functional textiles: a Black Solid block to flag off spill or negative fill facial geometry, a One-Stop White Silk Diffuser to instantly melt away harsh specular highlights, a Single Black Net (1/2 stop reduction) to gently lift exposure ratios, and a Double Black Net (1 stop reduction) to drop intense hot-spots without scattering light paths. Each frame features a solid 3/8-inch mounting pin that seats natively into standard C-Stand grip heads.
Applicable Scenarios:
-
Surgical Portrait Exposure Attenuation: Uses the Single or Double Net panels to selectively drop exposure strictly on a subject’s overly bright wardrobe or shoulders without modifying the soft key light tracking across their face.
-
Seamless Background & Border Feathering: Leverages the open-end borderless tracking edge to feather a large continuous beam smoothly into background shadows inside tight Kwun Tong or Chai Wan studio spaces.
-
High-End Commercial Product & Luxury Isolation: Deploys the Black Solid script-cutters right beside highly reflective glass or chrome surfaces to flag off stray reflections and create crisp, structural specular lines.
-
Borderless Open-End Spring Steel Framework: Three-sided structural wire architecture allows seamless light path feathering without casting hard peripheral rod shadows on set.
-
Complete 5-Piece Functional Lighting Matrix: Master bundle includes 1 x Black Solid, 1 x White Silk Diffuser, 1 x Single Net, 1 x Double Net, and 1 x Extra Empty Core Wire Frame.
-
Color-Coded Mechanical Edge Bindings: Features universally standardized color tags along the borders for lightning-fast textile identification inside chaotic dark sets.
-
Integrated 3/8″ Non-Slip Solid Grip Mounting Pins: Standardized high-tensile steel mounting pins lock securely into any 2.5-inch universal grip head or gobo arm without twisting.
-
Industrial All-Metal Build & Dedicated Soft Carry Case: Heavy-duty reinforced spring alloys maintain intense structural tension, packed neatly inside a rugged weather-resistant transport safety bag.

Q: What is the main structural advantage of an “Open End” flag over a standard 4-sided closed flag?
A: A standard closed flag has a metal rod running along all 4 sides, which creates a sharp physical shadow boundary where the frame ends. An Open End flag leaves the 4th side completely open with no metal rod border. This allows you to slide the flag deeply into a light path to feather or attenuate the exposure smoothly, creating an organic, gradual drop-off without casting an artificial hard linear shadow onto your backdrop or subject.
-
Q: What do the different color-coded borders signify on the flag frames on location?
A: Kupo utilizes industry-standard Hollywood color coding for instant identification: Black represents the Black Solid (completely blocks light), Grey represents the White Silk (diffuses light), Green represents the Single Net (reduces exposure by 1/2 stop without softening), and Red represents the Double Net (reduces exposure by 1 full stop without softening).
-
Q: Can I mount these flags safely using standard lightweight travel stand kits?
A: No. Because these professional flags feature an industrial spring steel build and solid 3/8-inch smooth mounting pins, they possess distinct physical weight. To guarantee absolute safety and structural tracking on your HK production set, they must strictly be rigged into a standard 2.5-inch Grip Head (Gobo Head / Grip Head) mounted onto a heavy-duty C-Stand, heavily secured at the base with 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.
