Kupo Butterfly Frame Kit (8x8ft)

$17/day$51 / week (3× day)

An 8 x 8ft collapsible overhead frame — aluminium tube sections and corner joints that break down into a carry bag. Takes any 8x8 fabric and mounts to two stands with grip heads.

When it’s the right call

Mid-size overhead control — fly diffusion over actors to turn noon sun into beauty light, or a solid for open shade, or bounce for fill. The 8x8 is the sweet spot one crew member can still handle.

Where to set it up

Two combo stands, frame cornered into the wind, every leg bagged; swap fabrics (grids, solids, ultrabounce from this catalog) to change the job.

Get the most out of it

  • Overhead silk is the single biggest upgrade to exterior daylight faces
  • Angle it to feather light rather than block it flat
  • Watch wind — an 8x8 is a sail; drop it if gusts pick up
