Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this portable?

A: Yes. The diffuser fabric is attached to the frame with Velcro and can be removed. The frame can be taken apart at the corners. The frame is four straight pieces and four corner 90 degree connecters

Q: 2. We have a Scrim Jim frame kit. Does this silk have velcro running along all edges to attach to a frame?

A: The Scrim Jim Kit underwent changes in 2016 when it was upgraded to standard industry sizes, more mounting options, and more fabric options. This product is for the Scrim Jim Cine (new version) so please check your Scrim Jim version to determine if the sizing is the same. If you have further questions, please call Westcott customer support at 419-243-7311.

Q: 3. 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.

Q: 4. Hi! Can this be used without a frame - can I hang with clamps? Thank you!

A: The fabric would be best used with the frame as it has Velcro along the edges keeping it stretched flat to its appropriate size. I would be careful to not damage the fabric when hanging it in another way but you can certainly use it however you would like.

Q: 5. 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: 6. Curious when is grid cloth better than plain cloth? Understand the difference but seeking the why. Thanks.

A: Grid cloth diffuses the light while making it more directional versus standard diffusion which simply spreads the light as needed.

Q: 7. 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: 8. how does this connect to the frame?

A: This Westcott Scrim Jim Cine Full-Stop Diffuser Fabric attaches to its frame using velcro.

Q: 9. Does this have Velcro?

A: The Westcott Scrim Jim Cine 1/4-Stop Diffuser Fabric (6 x 6') BH #WE1771 uses a hook and loop attachment to the frame.

Q: 10. 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.
