Kupo 8' x 8' Butterfly Frame Kit (KH-08)

Overview

The Kupo 8' x 8' Butterfly Frame Kit (KH-08) is a professional overhead frame system designed for mounting diffusion fabrics, silks, scrims, nets, and bounce materials in film production, television, photography, and studio environments. Engineered for reliable light control on both studio and location shoots, this heavy-duty butterfly frame kit allows cinematographers and lighting crews to soften sunlight, reduce contrast, and shape lighting with precision.

Constructed from durable 30 mm square-section aluminium tubing, the KH-08 delivers excellent strength while remaining lightweight enough for efficient transport and fast assembly on set. The frame uses a slot-and-pin locking system that enables quick setup without complicated tools, making it ideal for fast-paced production environments where time and reliability matter.

The frame components are designed to store neatly within the corner sections during transport, helping reduce lost parts and simplifying storage for grip departments and rental houses. Included ear-type frame supporters provide secure mounting onto grip heads and lighting stands, ensuring stable overhead support for textiles and light control fabrics.

With its larger 8' x 8' frame size, the KH-08 is ideal for covering wider shooting areas, larger talent setups, interview scenes, and exterior daylight control applications. It is widely used across professional film sets, broadcast productions, commercial shoots, and photographic studios where consistent and controllable lighting is essential.
