[Flame Retardant] Wide range of flags and scrims and a durable carry case. Works great to shape and manipulate lighting.

[1.26 lb] I had a smaller flag kit that wasn't getting it done so I decided to this kit. If you are looking to have better control over lighting situations I highly recommend this kit. I wish there were at least to solid flags but there is only one in the kit. I've already worked with his on set and it worked flawlessly.

The small flags could work but it will be very easy to get a tear in them making them obsolete. You should probably put them in a separate compartment or rigid cardboard to prevent rips in the fabric. Otherwise, for the price this is a great buy!

[Black Single] Great to add to the set!

[1.26 lb] Great economical flag kit. Does the job and seems like the frames were built well. I only wish there were options to choose which flags or diffusers you wanted, instead of getting one of each type.

[Flame Retardant] gives me lots of option to use

[1.26 lb] Love the portability of this kit. So versatile. Wish there was more than one black flag but I'll probably get more along the way. Definitely a good buy!

[Black Single] Great bag for organization

[0.5 Stops] For $208 Canadian, all in, this is worth every penny! It has everything you need to get an indie film gaffers kit for corporate gigs, interviews, and even short or full form narrative. Warning: you will need more c stands or regular stands and arms and or knuckles, to hold all these flags/scrims. Just a heads up! That being said, I will buy another set, and probably gift a couple sets to some of my indie filmmaking friends. They are working out great for my small projects.

[1.26 lb] The flexibility and portability are unsurpassed. Frames easily collapse and fit into tripod case for travel. One 24x36 scrim covers most single-person liveshot setups in bright sunlight. If needed, two similar scrims can be positioned side by side with the soft edges slightly overlapping to provide more coverage. Now a must-have in the eng kit.

[Black Single] The black is a little bit porous, so it is not quite the same as a solid object (a bit of light gets through, which you can see through it quite prominently, but not much light will actually spill onto whatever you're flagging.) If your use case requires 0 light through the black flags then you will likely need to try a different option.

Overall the quality of the fabrics are so-so. I would not handle them roughly. The kit is generally small and light, for the dimensions (it is just slightly longer than 24", and packs down quite flat.)

Once you put the fabrics on the frame, just leave them on to extend the life of the materials (taking them on and off will wear the fabrics, and they fit fine in the case without the fabrics being removed.)

Overall, for the price, and for someone that handles things with care, they are a great value, but they do show the cheapness of the price tag, so if you're expecting matthews build quality you will likely be disappointed (you're not paying a matthews price, after all.)
