The Manfrotto Rapid Flags is a comprehensive, ultra-compact lighting control kit that is the perfect solution for content creators on the go or with limited space to carry. With their compact size, multiple interchangeable fabric modifiers and quick assembly, they now allow for a highly variable set of high-end flags and scrims that can complement any portable lighting kit without compromising on performance or durability.
Rapid Flag sets are available in two sizes: 45 cm x 60 cm and 60 cm x 91 cm (sold separately).
Manfrotto lighting control products have been providing innovative, high quality, portable lighting control solutions for over forty-five years to the world's most successful content creators, with products such as TriGrip, Skylite Rapid and HaloCompact. Now the new Rapid Flag kits incorporate all that experience and craftsmanship into this revolutionary new lighting control tool, specifically designed for users who need all the control and flexibility that flags and scrims provide, but require a compact form that can be taken anywhere and assembled in seconds.
Flags and scrims are an essential tool for controlling lighting on any scene, whether it be photography, video or a full film production. They help diffuse, reduce, limit or even block light, allowing the content creator to perfectly adjust their lighting to achieve the desired lighting effect and bring their creative vision to life.
Manfrotto Rapid Flags are the next generation of these essential creative tools, offering all the same features as their predecessors with solid steel frames, but designed to be more portable than ever before thanks to RapidExoframe™ folding frame technology.
The foldable, lightweight yet strong aluminium frame is quickly assembled thanks to an internal elastic cord, onto which the fabric cover of your choice is simply clipped using our specially developed clip, allowing for super-fast assembly. Replacing the fabric couldn't be easier, just unfasten and remove the attached flag or scrim and then attach another directly to the frame, no time-consuming assembly required. With two frames and four fabrics in each set, many combinations are available for maximum creativity.
The ingeniously designed RapidExoFrame™ design allows the frame to be broken down into small sections and packed with the included covers into the included compact carrying case, measuring only 42 cm x 20 cm x 10 cm and weighing only 1.9 kg for the 45 cm x 60 cm size and 2.2 kg for the 60 cm x 91 cm size.
The sturdy case with internal compartments ensures that everything stays securely in place ready for the next shoot, aiding quick assembly and improving workflow.
Another key feature of Rapid Flags is the universal mounting point, which allows them to be easily positioned using a variety of grip solutions. Each frame includes a 16mm (5/8") baby socket and 10mm (3/8") removable steel mounting pin, making Rapid Flags ideal for use on heads, support arms and tripods, as well as grip heads and extension arms found on products like C-Stands.
These extremely versatile lighting control kits are designed to inspire the imagination of today's creative image makers. Their compact form factor, quick assembly and innovative design make it easier than ever to carry the necessary lighting control tools for a variety of lighting situations, opening up a range of creative opportunities.
