Q: 1. What are the exact dimensions of the part that would go inside the square tubing NOT counting the height of the locking button? B&H specifies that as 2.9cm , but it's not clear if that's including or excluding the height of the locking button.

Q: 8. How does the Cine frame set differ from my older, Original Scrim Jim? Any compatibility?

A: The frame and fabric are both larger in all dimensions, including the width of the square tubing. They are not compatible. The old stud mounts are pretty much useless as well. The new version is nice and strong, but not as compact. I have both.

Q: 9. Are all the poles the entire 8' or do they join together? If they join are you able to use less so if I buy the 8x8 could use as a 6x6 or 6x4 if needed or do I need to buy each specific size?

A: We bought the 4x4 so I cannot accurately answer this question.

Q: 10. How does this compare to the Digital Juice 8x8 butterfly frame in terms of breaking down and items included in the kit?

A: No experience with the Digital Juice but the Scrim Jim system has been a favorite light control system for over 24 years because it is lightweight and easy to use. The Scrim Jim Cine remains lightweight especially compared to other brands in the industry. The # 1834 weighs less than 9lbs! A kit is only a few pounds more. The Scrim Jim Cine system was designed with users in the field to be modular so youre nearly limitless in the sizes and shapes that can be built. Connectors feature a positive-locking system that keeps frame builds in-tact throughout your shoot. Easily removable for quick tear down and setup. The 8 x 8 frame is constructed from smaller modular components and so you can construct multiple other sizes as well! Westcotts fabric attachment, through the use of Hook-and-Loop attachment, allows for fast and easy setup and tear-down. Westcott quality control maintains tight tolerances to assure quality color and diffusion.
