Carbon Fibre Top Flag (Misfit Kick & 360 Mk II)

Description

Refine your light control with our Carbon Fibre Top Flag for Misfit Kick Mk II and Misfit Kick 360 Mk II. Installed quickly and without tools, the top flag is a lightweight addition to your matte box. The side extensions tuck neatly into the main top flag, and the torsion plate helps to dampen vibrations for improved handling in the field.

Made from lightweight carbon fibre, the top flag doubles as a lightweight lens guard when folded down to protect your rig.

Maximum Flare Protection

The top flag can be positioned exactly where you need it to cut out any flare or ghosting. Extensions on each side provide extra coverage, and the entire flag can be folded up or down to your specific shooting needs. If you’re trying to reduce glare from a specific angle or just keeping the sunlight off your camera, the top flag is ideal.

Tool-Free Installation

Attaching the top flag to your Misfit Kick or Misfit Kick 360 can be done in seconds – with no tools required. Thumbscrews secure the top flag in place, and a drag lever allows you to tilt the flag up and down as needed. Once in place, simply tighten the lever again.  You can make minor adjustments by tightening just the orange torsion screw.

Vibration-Dampening

The top flag featured a dedicated torsion plate that runs the length of the flag. This provides an extra layer of vibration absorption, meaning that minor disturbances are less likely to spoil your shot. If you’re using the matte box in handheld or with moving vehicles, this is ideal for maximising your shot’s potential.

Conveniently Stowed

When folded, the top flag sits flush against the front of the Misfit Kick or Misfit Kick 360, making it clean and simple to transport and stow when on the move. Protect your filters and your matte box from dust and debris simply and easily.

Expanded Options

With our range of Misfit Kick and Misfit Kick 360 flags, you can moderate light from any direction. Combine with the optional Carbon Fibre Side Flags or the additional Carbon Fibre Bottom Flag to create a full setup – all installed quickly and conveniently to your matte box.

Carbon Fibre Construction

The lightweight build of the top flag makes it ideal for pairing with the Misfit Kick or Misfit Kick 360 matte boxes. It adds minimal additional weight at just 135g, and mounts discreetly to keep your camera footprint as small as possible. The side extensions conveniently fold in when not in use, for a simple but effective addition to your rig.

Part of the Misfit Kick Mk II System

The Misfit Kick Mk II is our most versatile matte box yet: offering our patented Reveal Stage for seamless transitions between two-stage and three-stage matte box designs. Configurable in clamp-on, rod-mounted or swing-away systems with a range of accessories; the Misfit Kick Mk II can be adapted to any rig – and any shoot.

Instructions/Assembly

To install the Carbon Fibre Top Flag, align the notches of the top flag with the marked thumbscrews on the Misfit Kick matte box. Tighten them into place to secure the top flag to the matte box.

To adjust the height, tighten the orange clamp lever and tilt the top flag up or down as required. Then, tighten the black clamp on the opposite side to lock it in place.

Compatibility

The Carbon Fibre Top Flag is designed for the Misfit Kick Mk II and Misfit Kick 360 Mk II. It is not compatible with the Misfit Kick Mk I.
