Flags - 6x6 - Solid

$26/day$78 / week (3× day)

A 6 x 6ft solid — opaque black fabric that blocks light outright rather than shaping it. The standard mid-size cutter for taking sun off a background, killing spill or carving negative fill.

When it’s the right call

Cuts light instead of adding it — block sun off a background, kill spill from a fixture, or add shape to a face with negative fill. Controlling where light ISN'T is half of cinematography. The 6x6 covers single subjects and interview setups.

Where to set it up

Rig between the source and whatever you're protecting. One or two C-stands with grip arms; bag every stand.

Get the most out of it

  • Closer to the subject = softer cut; closer to the source = harder edge
  • Black solid beside an interview face carves instant cheekbones (negative fill)
  • Big solids make open shade for actors on sunny days
