Solid Floppy Flag

Quantity

A Solid Floppy Flag, also known as a cutter, is a large, opaque flag used to control light. Its primary function is to block light, preventing it from hitting certain areas of a scene or camera lens, thus shaping shadows and creating specific lighting effects. A "floppy" flag has a hinge mechanism that allows one section to fold out, effectively doubling its size for greater light control.
