Basic Operation

Top Flag

The Top Flag is held onto the Basic Module by two lock wheels, as shown above. It can be adjusted and fixed 
in position by tightening the lock-off knob at one end. If desired, the Top Flag can be attached underneath the 
matte box to form a bottom flag.

Side Flags

The two side flags are identical. They attach to a single lug on either side of the Basic Module. The top and 
bottom edges are adjustable.
