The integral component within a modular system, this 46" long Scrim Jim Cine Frame Tube from Westcott is used to construct customized panels in sizes ranging from 1 x 1' to 8 x 8'. When paired with optional fabrics, such as silks or diffusers, frame tubes form the rigid support from which fabrics are attached to create flags, diffusion panels, book lights, v-flats, or numerous other light controlling tools.

This tube is constructed from anodized aluminum alloy and heavy-duty hook-and-loop tape is riveted to two sides of the tube for attaching fabrics. A 3/8"-16 threaded mount is incorporated into the tube for mounting atop stands and additional dedicated self-locking connectors are used to combine several pieces of tube to create flat 2D frames or dynamic 3D light shaping tools.

Tube measures 46" long and can be added to additional tubes through the use of dedicated, self-locking connectors.

Anodized aluminum-alloy construction and self-locking connectors both help to maintain rigid, reliable frame configurations in various sizes up to 8 x 8'.

Hook-and-loop tape is riveted onto two sides of the tube and is used for attaching a variety of fabric types to the frame system.

A 3/8"-16 mount is incorporated into the tube's design for mounting to stands or other accessories.

Q: 1. 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: 2. Newbie question. What is the best stand or setup to stand this up on it's own? I don't always have an extra pair of hands and really need something to dull the harsh shadows and sunlight

A: Your best bet is to use this with C-stands.

Q: 3. Also, can the Baby Pin Clamp hold the 6x6 frame up from one side only, or do you need both sides supported?

A: Fixed location one is fine. Shooting out doors I would suggest doubling up under heavy weather conditions.

Q: 7. I already have a bunch of 4x4 fabrics from other frames. They have elastic at the corner and ties down each of the four sides. Can these be used with the Scrim Jim Cine?

A: Using scrims other than the original manufacturer options can be done but they may come up slightly smaller or have other less than ideal fitment issues.

Q: 8. Has anyone used a Cardellini clamp to mount this rather than purchasing a frame-specific clamp? I'd rather purchase something that will get more use than just out of this.

A: A Cartellini, Mathellini or end jaw clamp could all be used. You will want one per side.

Q: 9. What is the weight of the assembled 6x6 frame? I don't want to have to add every nut and bolt. Westcott should specify the assembled weight.

A: The Westcott 6x6 frame is 7.5lbs.
