A 4×4 aluminium frame is one of those pieces of kit that earns its place on almost every shoot. Lightweight yet rigid, it holds a 4×4 diffusion material, gel, or net securely in front of a light source, giving you clean, even control over the quality and colour of your light. Whether you’re softening a hard HMI, knocking back intensity with a scrim, or shifting colour temperature with a CTO or CTB gel, this frame makes the process straightforward and repeatable.

On set, the aluminium construction keeps weight to a minimum without sacrificing the durability you need when frames are being repositioned throughout the day. It fits standard 4×4 materials — Lee, Rosco, and similar — and slots easily into most grip hardware. Pair it with a standalone stand or hang it off a lighting rig; either way, it’s a practical, unfussy tool that your gaffer and grip will be glad to have to hand.
