Adorama pretends to care but they don't. It's all automated inhuman bs just like the rest of the world. Stick with b&h

While my floppy works just fine, my recent experience with adorama wasn't the best in general. I started ordering from them more regularly this year and spent arpund $6000 over the course of 6 months or so. I ordered $2000 worth of grip equipment on my adorama credit card and had a whopping shipping cost of $400+. The very next week I receive a text from adorama offering me free shipping on any items over $50. I was super frustrated having just spent $400 in shipping the week prior. They offered me a $25 discount when I expressed my dissatisfaction. What an insult. I'll also add that with every large order, I received a copy and paste message from a guy named Larry thanking me and letting me know he would be my personal shopping assistant or some funny title like that. Well when all this happened Larry just deferred me to someone else, and with a lot of between all these departments, it wasn't worth the hassle to eventually get a $75 discount. Adorama pretends to care but they don't.

About Matthews Floppy Cutter

FEATURED REVIEWS

Great floppy.

By Jacob S.

Solid piece of gear. Built well.

You can enhance your professional photography and videography setup with the 48x48" Floppy Cutter with Top Hinge, a durable and reliable tool designed for superior light control. Crafted from high-quality black textile, this sturdy equipment opens up to an impressive 48x90", offering versatility for various applications across different industries.

Featuring a newly designed 90-degree flag and cutter frame, this product allows for precise positioning over the set wall. It can also be combined with multiple units to construct a light-controlling box, ensuring optimal lighting conditions for your shoots. Unlike its predecessors, this innovative design boasts three square corners, providing additional stability and versatility.

The 48x48" frames have been streamlined by removing the mouse ears, resulting in a more squared-off, professional appearance. As a flag, this tool is equipped with mounting pins and covered with a solid cloth material, making it an essential asset for controlling both natural and artificial light.

This floppy cutter serves as a protective shield for your camera lens against flares, controls spill light from various sources, and prevents light from reaching certain areas on the set. While it functions as a flag for sizes up to 24x36", larger or irregular sizes are referred to as cutters. The Floppy Cutter features an extra layer of material sewn to one edge, held in place with a hook and loop fastener until needed, effectively doubling its original size.

Whether you need a top hinge (T) or a bottom hinge (B), this product caters to your specific needs. All Matthews Scrims and Flags, including this 48x48" Floppy Cutter with Top Hinge, are bordered with heavy-duty, color-coded webbing for easy identification and enhanced durability. This professional-grade tool is a must-have for any serious photographer or videographer seeking to improve their light management and overall shoot quality.
