Open End Frames are made of spring steel with a 3/8" pin and support which can be used to hang the Scrim from the C Stand handle when not in use.

The two upright arms of the frame are slotted at the two open ends to retain the piano wire woven through the fabric to make up the fourth side of the frame without causing a shadow.

Matthews Open End Scrim 18x24" Reviews

It silks, but remember 18x24 is smaller than you think.

The thing silks great, but when I buy a silk I'm looking to make powerful light(s) all shine through it to create one light source. This thing does do that, but most of time I'm using a silk to create a big surface area light that looks super soft and pleasant, so why would I buy a 18x24 silk? This isn't supposed to be a gripe, I just want the people buying it to be prepared for it to be small and they better have a niche reason to buy a niche product.

Indispensable tool in the studio.

It's tricky to make a good scrim that will perform well and last, but Matthews does the best job of any I've worked with.
