Troubleshooting

Frame is difficult to unfold or lock

Gently manipulate the frame joints. Ensure no fabric is caught in the mechanism. Check for any obstructions.

Textile cover does not fit securely

Ensure you are using the correct cover for the frame size and that it is oriented properly. Check for any tears or damage on the cover's edges.

Mounting feels unstable

Verify that the stand or grip head is securely tightened. Ensure the correct mounting pin (5/8" or 3/8") is properly engaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Extremely portable and easy to transport due to its compact, foldable design and included hard case.
Rapid setup and breakdown significantly saves time on location shoots.
Offers good versatility with multiple textile options for different lighting diffusion and blocking needs.
Durable build quality, reflecting its handmade construction in the UK.
Compatible with standard grip equipment thanks to versatile mounting options.

Cons

The 24x36 inch size may be too small for very large lighting setups or controlling ambient light in expansive spaces.
Requires separate lighting stands for operation.
Textile covers need careful handling to avoid damage or soiling.
The all-in-one nature means less customization compared to individual flag systems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Unfold the RAPIDEXOFRAMES until they lock into place.
Select the desired textile cover and attach it securely to the frame.
Mount the frame onto a compatible lighting stand using the integrated 5/8" (16mm) female receiver or the removable 3/8" pin.

Compatibility:

The kit is compatible with any standard 5/8" (16mm) light stand or grip head.
The included removable pin allows for mounting onto equipment with a 3/8" receptor.

Care:

To clean the textile covers, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Store the kit in its protective hard carry case when not in use to prevent damage and keep components together.
Ensure frames are fully dry before storing if exposed to moisture.
