Hey All,

Been looking at some portable fast flags from Westcott, I have seen the Road Rags and used them before.

I liked the westcott ones.

Out of interest how do I attach them to a lighting stand [not A C Stand Via Gobo Arm]

I have seen the Matthews mini grip kit expensive for what it does. Any ideas. Do I just need a knuckle head or do I need the mini grip kit?

Thanks

It depends on the size if the flag. 18x24? 24x36? You can put a grip head ( regular size or mini ) on any stand or even a mafer clamp or a boom pole ( sunbounce calls this a swatter). Bigger the frame the heavier the stand/head/sandbag combo you will need. outdoors more than indoors since flags are really just sails when put up in the wind.
