FAQ

Are stands included with the MH01?

No. The kit includes the frame, diffusion fabric and a carry bag. Flying an 8 × 8 ft frame takes two sturdy stands with suitable mounting hardware. Outdoors it catches wind like a sail, so sandbag both stands.

What is the difference between the MH01 and the MH01W?

Size. The MH01 frame is 2.44 × 2.44 m (8 × 8 ft). The MH01W frame is 1.8 × 1.8 m (5.9 × 5.9 ft). Both kits include fabric and a carry bag.
