Godox has released two new Scrim Flag Kits, the Godox SF6090 Kit and the SF4560 Kit. Both kits consist of a set of flags, as well as a few dots and fingers. The company is well-known for producing very affordable equipment, that is still able to compete with much pricier alternatives. Let’s have a closer look!
The name Godox has been around for some time now. For photographers the Godox flashes and control systems have established themselves as alternatives to brands like Profoto, which are traditionally priced for a much higher market segment. Godox has also made quite some inroads into continuous lighting in recent years. We have reported about the Godox SL300II Bi-Color COB LED as well as the Godox Litemon LA series. But the company has also been trying their hand in accessories, like a shotgun mic and even a directional smartphone mic.
On the lighting side, due to its involvement in photography, Godox already has a wealth of modifiers and shaping accessories. So the Godox Scrim Flag Kits seem like a welcome addition to the umbrellas, tents, stands, softboxes and other gear already available, to give that final finesse for shaping and control.
Godox SF6090 & SF4560 Scrim Flag Kits
The Godox SF6090 and SF4560 kits both contain 5 flags, 2 fingers and 2 dots each. The major difference is the size of the 5 flags. Indeed, in the Godox SF6090 Scrim Flag Kit is 24″ x 36″ (~ 60 x 90 cm) whereas the Godox SF4560 Scrim Flag Kit has flags measuring 18″ x 24″ (~ 45 x 60cm).
The size of the fingers is 4″ x 14″ (10 x 35cm) and the dots have a diameter of 6″ (15cm). All of the flags are collapsible, while the fingers and dots stay the same size. Both kits come in handy carrying bags, with a very visible and readable label, denoting the contents.
But what do the flags, dots and fingers in the Godox Scrim Flag Kits actually let you do? Here’s a full list of their modifying features:
- One stop silk flag
- Two stop silk flag
- Single black net flag
- Double black net flag
- Black solid flag
- Black solid finger & dot
- Black net finger & dot
All modifiers have standard, umbrella-size attachment bolts, which can be used with most available stands.
Price and availability
Both kits are now available for purchase on B&H. The Godox SF6090 Scrim Flag Kit retails for $259, while the SF4560 is cheaper ($179).
