Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can one person hold the 6x6 scrim?

A: Yes, but not recommended if you have any moderate to heavy winds.

Q: 2. Do these newer Cine versions of the cloth work with the older 4x6 frames that only have velcro?

A: No. Make sure you purchase the 42x72 inch silks for the original scrim jim frames. I made the mistake of ordering the 4x6 cine silk and it was to big.

Q: 3. What stands and connectors are recommended for this frame?

A: For a Scrim Jim Cine that is 6' by 6', a lot of people prefer to use two light stands with grip heads (Westcott part #1881) and Scrim Jim Frame Clamps (Westcott Part #1980) on each stand. If you want to use a single light stand, we recommend a heavy duty C-Stand with the same grip and clamp noted above as well as some sand bags for the base of the C-Stand.

Q: 4. How small does the frame get when traveling? Does the frame break down to 4x 6ft pieces or are there 8x 3ft pieces?

A: The frames side components are combinations of 3 lengths of interchangeable tubes and connectors. The 6' x 6' frames are made up of 2-46 tubes connected to 2-22 tubes with the connectors adding the remaining length. The longest of the current Cine tubes is the 46 version. You could also build the frames with smaller components by ordering the frame tubes and connectors ala carte.

Q: 5. I don't understand the amount of stops reduced, is it variable from 1 to 1/4?

A: This fabric is not variable, it reduces 1.25 stops of light.

Q: 6. Any way to mount this to a C-stand?

A: No. Not really. But you can easily get a cine clamp with a 5/8” stud for a rock steady hold.

Q: 7. Is the 1-1/4 stop fabric thick enough to beam a small source light into it, and not have a hotspot? I'd like to use an Astra 6X at around 4ft away to result in a large even light source

A: That should be a good distance to get a even light onto the diffuser and not have a hotspot.

Q: 8. Will this fit the classic less robust "non-cine" 6x6 scrim jim?

A: No, this Scrim Jim fabric is only for the Scrim Jim Cine frame.

Q: 9. does it come with the frame? or is it only the fabric?

A: This would be the fabric alone. The frame would be the Westcott Scrim Jim Cine Frame Set (6 x 6') B&H # WE1833

Q: 10. I have a 6x6 Scrim Jim how do I tell if it is the old or new version? And will this fit if I have the old version?

A: Great question, William. The old version of Scrim Jim used 3/4" thick framing and the frames connected to each other using a tension fit. The new version (Scrim Jim Cine) uses a thicker 1" frame and connects using a positive locking system. The new system also has corners that are NOT built into the frame, like they were in the original version. The sizing of diffusion silks are not the same for the new version, as we standardized the sizing to what is common in the industry for the Scrim Jim Cine lineup.
