Design and function
The arm’s flexible design lets you position the French flag where it best blocks stray light. One end uses a zinc casting clamp to attach directly to a camera, providing a firm connection. Meanwhile, the opposite end includes holders specifically for a French flag so that the flag remains stable and effectively prevents light from creating lens flare.
Practical use
Use the KCP-345 when you need to control light across the lens plane. For example, place the French flag using the holders and then adjust the flex arm to block unwanted light sources. In practice, this reduces the risk of lens flare and helps maintain contrast and image clarity during filming.
