The Sunbounce system consists of a collapsible aluminum frame that can be easily assembled and combined with different reflecting, light-reducing, or light-absorbing screens to take full advantage of any kind of light--hard or soft, natural or artificial. This Sun-Bounce Pro Super Saver Starter Kit (4x6') from Sunbounce includes the lightweight, stable, anodized aluminum frame, a reversible silver/white screen, a grip head for attaching the reflector to a stand (not included), tuning clips for modifying the reflector by attaching custom fabrics or other material (not included), and a shoulder bag to hold the kit. The silver reflector is for reflecting strong contrasty light; the white reflector reflects a softer, diffused light. The frame is designed with an integrated crossbar and clamp so that it can be comfortably held in many different ways--by hand or by attaching it to a tripod, for instance. The frame and screen fold to fit into the included shoulder bag.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How does the Cine version compare with the original Scrim Jim?

A: Arthur,Cine versions are more robust with a positive-locking system that keeps frame builds in-tact throughout your shoot compared to the original Scrim Jim which relies more on the fabric to maintain the frame shape. The Cine line has more available fabric choices and the fabrics from one are not compatible with the other.

Q: 2. Is this available without the boom and rigging hardware?

A: It is only available as the kit.

Q: 3. Does it produce a hard light?

A: The quality of light produced by a light modifier depends on the size of the modifier in relation to the size of the subject and the distance it is used from the subject. If you use the Savage Umbrella Softbox Bounce (36 ) relatively close to a subject for head shots or bust shots (18 to 3 feet), the item would produce soft, wraparound lighting. The farther from the subject, the less wraparound light and the harder the light will become. The same light modifier farther away (12' - 15' and farther) may produce hard light on your subject with no wraparound light quality.

Q: 4. If I buy the 6x6 version, can I buy the additional extensions to make it an 8x8 version if I want to in the future?

A: Yes you can, that is one of the many features of the Scrim Jim system. Check out all the build options for the Scrim Jim system and which size frames are required by visiting https://www.fjwestcott.com/amfilerating/file/download/file_id/2098

Q: 8. can this 4 x 6 frame kit be configured for 4 x 4? by just eliminating the 22 sections?

A: Michael, yes Cine frames are configurable and eliminating the 22 section and 2 connectors from the 4 x 6 will leave you a 4 x 4 frame.

Q: 9. how many stops of light lost?

A: HI Jim B,I haven't tested this for light loss, and only used it once. I shoot interiors for realtors and builders, so I used this on one of my Nikons (which was a very tight fit and hard to get on) just for some fill light, and it worked very well. I wasn't paying attention to the amount of light output, just the quality of the light, which was very nice. If I had to guess, I would say it lost about 1 1/2 stops.

Q: 10. Hi, just wanted to confirm that this is exactly the same as the Scrim Jim Cine except that this comes with net, deluxe case (instead of regular), and 1 stop diffusion (instead of 3/4 stop diffusion)?

A: You are correct. With the 6x6 Scrim Jim Cine video kit, you receive the 6x6 frame, a 6x6 full stop diffusion, a 6x6 silver/white reversible bounce, and a 6x6 single net fabric. All of this comes in a heavy duty, wheeled carry case.
