Gotta Love Matthews

Been using Matthews Road Rags for years. Finally broke down and got these guys. Wow! Not as compact, but WAY stronger. Don't have to worry about the wind damaging these frames.

Extremely handy and light

I was a bit skeptical when ordering these as I was not sure how heavy they would be. They are very light considering their size and yet very sturdy. The metal rod you see does come with it and is attached out of the box. Very good at controlling the light. One of those items you don't need everyday but when you do they are super useful. They block the light as expected and are built to last.

question

what connects the flag to the light stand?
Asked by: Rodger K.
We use a pair of Bogen super clamps joined together, but there are several other items of grip gear that will work.
