THB Series Flag Panel with Precision Light Control and Effortless Height Adjustment Using Aerospace-Grade Alloys

From the studio floor to punishing location sets, the T-HB Series redefines what a grip modifier should be. Clean welds, aerospace-grade alloys, and a modular fabric system give you absolute command over spill, negative fill, and diffusion—shot after shot, year after year.

HAFE approaches grip not as individual pieces of hardware, but as an interconnected light-shaping ecosystem. The T-HB Series is built on a simple truth: control must be effortless.

• Straight frames deliver razor cuts, large overhead diffusion, and instant fabric swaps when time is money.
• Curved frames wrap light around your subject with a seamless fall-off that straight panels simply cannot replicate.
• Dual-material choice lets you prioritize featherweight speed or absolute ruggedness without changing your workflow.

Every 5/8″ receiver, every welded corner, and every tension point is reinforced to survive rental-house turnover and demanding travel schedules. The result is a unified set of tools that feels invisible on set—and indispensable in post.

• Unmatched weight-to-strength ratio: The aluminum alloy formulation keeps straight panels stiff enough for a 48×48 overhead silk, yet light enough for a one-handed boom on a documentary run-and-gun.
• True curved performance: Available in lightweight aluminum for everyday beauty work and rugged stainless steel that holds its geometry under constant tension, heat, and transport.
• Color-neutral, flame-retardant soft fabric: Pre-shrunk and optically neutral, the included fabric on curved flags won't shift your white balance and withstands hot fixtures day in, day out.
• Instant fabric swapping: Straight frames feature a toolless clip system—solid, silk, or grid cloth in under 30 seconds.
• Universal grip compatibility: Industry-standard 5/8″ (Baby) pin receivers ensure immediate integration with every C-stand, knuckle, and boom arm in your inventory.
• Stackable, storable, ready to travel: Slim profiles and reinforced grommets let you pack an entire kit into a single flag case.

Fashion & Portrait: Carve jawlines, control edge spill, and feather overheads. The 24×36 straight flag lives beside your key light; the 25×36 curved flag delivers the organic wrap that turns a flat shot into a cover image.

Commercial Product Photography: The curved flags create gradients that eliminate horizon lines and produce soft, floating reflections on glass, metal, and liquids. Pair the 48×48 straight panel as an overhead silk for window-light simulation.

Film & Television: Use the 48×48 as a solid floppy or 4×4 diffusion frame to tame broad daylight windows. When the shot demands negative fill with zero hard edges, the stainless steel curved flag stays planted and precise.

Broadcast & Run-and-Gun: Lightweight aluminum frames reduce shoulder fatigue during all-day interviews and live event coverage. Build a portable kit that delivers cinematic results without the bulk.

• Aluminum Straight Frame (T-HB-2436 / T-HB-4848): The go-to for weight-critical applications. Optimized for booming, overhead rigs, and fast location moves where every ounce counts.
• Aluminum Curved Frame (T-HB-2536B): The sweet spot between organic light shaping and agile handling. Delivers the signature curved fall-off while keeping your kit lightweight.
• Stainless Steel Curved Frame (T-HB-2536S): Engineered for the extremes. Resists dents, warping, and deformation even when clamped at aggressive angles. The top choice for rental houses, studio stages, and high-intensity film sets.

Do the straight flag panels include fabric?
The T-HB-2436 and T-HB-4848 are sold as frames only, giving you the freedom to stretch your own choice of diffusion, solid, or silk. All curved flags arrive with our factory-installed soft fabric ready to use out of the box.

What grip equipment is required?
Every panel features a standard 5/8″ (Baby) receiver. They mount seamlessly onto industry-standard C-stands, grip arms, and gobo heads. No proprietary hardware—just your existing kit.

How does the curved shape improve my lighting?
The curved surface produces a gradual wraparound cut with softer shadow transitions. Instead of a straight, hard line, you get a feathered edge that mimics natural window light and large-source fall-off.

Is the soft fabric heat-resistant?
Yes. The included fabric is flame-retardant and engineered to withstand continuous use with tungsten, HMI, and high-output LED fixtures up to 1000W without discoloration or shrinking.

Why choose stainless steel over aluminum for the curved flag?
Stainless steel offers superior shape retention under high tension, repeated impacts, and extreme temperatures. If your workflow involves constant transport or multiple rigging scenarios, the stainless steel frame pays for itself in longevity.
