Rocket 12x12 Artificial Silk
Overview
The Rocket 12x12 artificial silk is used with a compatible butterfly frame to diffuse harsh sunlight or large lighting fixtures. It creates softer shadows and more flattering light across interviews, scenes and talent outdoors.
Note: this is the textile only. To rig it you will also need the Kupo 12x12 Butterfly Frame Kit and heavy stands with shot bags. Alternatively, hire the Outdoor Lighting Control Kit – 12x12 which bundles all components together.
Common uses:
- Softening direct sunlight outdoors for interviews and scenes
- Creating large overhead soft light for film and commercial shoots
- Reducing harsh shadows on people or products outdoors
- Pairing with butterfly frames, tall cine stands and shot bags

If something on this page is not quite the right fit, say what you are actually trying to do and we will tell you honestly whether this is the item for it, or whether something else in the grip range does the job better.
