The new size addresses the need for gear that can travel in a hatchback and work in nooks and crannies.

Matthews Studio Equipment has released a 40" x 40" line of Flags and Floppies, addressing the need for gear that’s portable enough to travel in a hatchback and compact enough to work in nooks and crannies at tight locations. 


“With the popularity of our 40" x 40" Flag, we decided to add more flavors to this wonderfully dynamic dimension, including Full Silk, Floppy and the new Matthbounce Floppy,” says Martin Torner, MSE’s resident grip. 


Available individually, the line comprises: 40" x 40" Flags, top or bottom hinge Floppies (expand to 40" x 80"), top hinge Matthbounce Floppy (black back, inside reflective white), Artificial Silk and the 40" x 40" Flag Bag. 


The 40" x 40" Kit includes: Flag/Cutter, Top Hinge Floppy, Artificial Silk and Zippered Flag Bag.


The new frames are built with rugged 3/8" stainless-steel tubing that is welded for long life. Flags, Floppies and Silks are sewn at Matthew’s Southern California headquarters.
