FotodioxPro Studio Solutions 145x145cm (57x57in) Boom Sun Scrim Kit – Collapsible Frame with Diffusion, Silver/White Cover, Boom Handle & Carry Case

(Fotodiox Pro 140x200cm Sun Scrim) I REALLY like how the external frame just unfolds / pops up. But some of the advertised photos (especially the fabric system) are quite out of date.The outer frame is (soft silver colored) 1" round aluminum tubing. Quite light weight but holds its shape well. To try and explain what the fabric system looks like, think of a white diffuse fabric in the center of the frame that is about 1" smaller than the frame on all sides. But each corner has a diagonal fabric strip that just snaps over each of the 4 frame corners to hold it in place. The second fabric is a similar design, except that it is a silver reflector material on one side, and a solid white reflector material on the other side. The center arm attachment is quite similar to the one shown, and the photo showing the bag with the component parts is reasonably accurate.That folded up collection of (collapsed) poles shown in the component photo is accurate and is actually one piece. It just quickly unfolds and snaps into a 4' 7" x 6' 7" frame. It's hard to describe but it works! Just press two buttons on the frame and it releases and lets you quickly fold it back down. When collapsed, it's only 4' 7" long by 3 3/4" by 3" in size, so it travels quite easily.If you want to add the center arm attachment (as seen in the photos), it's a bit more work. The first time is tricky, but once you understand how that goes together, it's fairly quick. Just not as quick and easy as setting up the frame or popping on one of the fabrics. If you find yourself with an extra 5" metal tube, that piece attaches to a hole in the center of the curved handle. It can be used as an additional hand hold, but it's mainly used as a mounting point for a C-Stand.Who is this for? Well, if you're on a tight budget and don't really need it to be this big, you might consider one of the larger 5 in 1 collapsible reflectors (including diffusion). If you need something more serious that this should be considered. The price seems to vary on it and as I found one at a great price, I am very happy. But you might want to check how the latest price compares to other offerings first.But if the price is right, then I'd certainly recommend this one. And if I ever see another great deal on one again, I'd grab another just so that I could also use them as portable silver and white V-flats!

Por el precio que lo encontré la verdad estoy muy contento, tenia tiempo buscando y no me había terminado de decidir por precio, he tenido la oportunidad de usar de otras marcas que son mas caras y la verdad este parece ser resistente, aun asi teniendo cuidados debe de durar mucho tiempo, sin duda muy buena compra, aparte el frame es enorme.

SPECTACULAR product, especially for the price. The frame is lightweight, but sturdy. It goes together in seconds, and it's sturdy! The scrim is well-made, and the corners slip over the frame perfectly, and create a "tight-but-not-too-tight" surface. I don't use the boom pole, but it, too, is VERY well-made, and I will likely repurpose it for something else. All in all, this is a GREAT value for the price. I especially like it because it collapses so small (into its own case, which is very nice as well), and I don't have to have a large truck just to transport my flags. VERY pleased with this product!**UPDATE 11/22/19*** Three years on, and I'm still elated with this product. I've used it nearly 50 times, and it's been perfect every time. Except for a few scratches from being used for three years, it's still rock-solid when it snaps together, and I've had absolutely no issues with it. My clients love the soft light (I shoot an Aputure LS-1 through the frame), and I love that it's lightweight and easy to transport. Still VERY happy!

Es resistente y muy buena construcción.

I have made DIY scrim jims in the past. They all fell short in many ways. I've worked with heavier duty frames up to 12xs. This is the lightest, strongest, frame I've used. Such a great price. It's only two pieces that unfold. Cross bar is awesome. Using a cardellini clamp to hold it to the heavy duty C-stand with a 25 pound bag. I can fly it pretty easy. The fabric is pretty decent for the price. It's probably the weakest aspect of the unit. The fabrics are slightly chinsy compared to duvy or pro level fabrics. I really do recommend this product. For even provide level use.
