Manfrotto Pro Scrim All In One Kit: 2x2m vs 2.9x2.9m

The real difference is the cover set, not just the frame

Both Manfrotto Pro Scrim All In One Kits share the same fast-assembly aluminium frame, clip-on textile system, and rigid carry case. The decision comes down to working size and what you get in the bag: the 2x2m Large kit includes three covers (black, double-sided silver/white bounce, and 1.25-stop diffuser), while the 2.9x2.9m Extra Large kit includes two (black and 1.25-stop diffuser). That cover count changes how you control light on set, not just how much area you can shade or soften.

Size, weight, and packed footprint side by side

Use this table to compare the two kits on the specifications that affect transport and setup.

• Working area: Large: 2m x 2m (6.5 x 6.5ft). Extra Large: 2.9m x 2.9m (9.5ft).
• Weight: Large: 10.65 kg. Extra Large: 12.15 kg.
• Folded case size: Both: 102 x 24 x 19cm (40.1 x 9.4 x 7.4in).
• Textile covers included: Large: black, double-sided silver/white bounce, and 1.25-stop diffuser. Extra Large: black and 1.25-stop diffuser.
• Grip heads and ears: Both include 2 grip heads and 2 ears.

Large kit: three covers for flexible bounce and negative fill

• Manfrotto Pro Scrim All In One Kit 2 x 2m Large: Includes 3 textile covers: black, double-sided silver/white bounce, and 1.25 stop diffuser. The extra bounce cover lets you redirect light or lift shadows without adding a separate reflector, which suits small studios and one-light setups.

  

• Manfrotto Pro Scrim All In One Kit 2 x 2m Large: Frame measures 200 cm x 200 cm and weighs 10.65 kg. A 2x2m working area is manageable for solo setups and fits tighter rooms, while the lower weight helps when carrying the kit between locations.

Extra Large kit: maximum coverage with two covers

• Manfrotto Pro Scrim All In One Kit 2.9 x 2.9m Extra Large: Frame measures 292 cm x 292 cm and weighs 12.15 kg. The larger surface covers more subject or background area, but the extra weight and span demand sturdier stands and more floor space.

  

• Manfrotto Pro Scrim All In One Kit 2.9 x 2.9m Extra Large: Includes 2 textile covers: black and 1.25 stop diffuser. You get diffusion and negative fill, but no bounce cover in the kit; plan for a separate reflector if you need to redirect light.

Stand compatibility and setup limits

Both kits mount via cine-style ears dropped into the included grip heads, which then attach to any pair of sturdy light stands with a 16mm (5/8”) spigot. Manfrotto does not specify a minimum stand load rating or maximum wind tolerance in the supplied information, so choose stands rated for the kit's weight and avoid leaving the scrim unattended in gusty conditions. The clip-on covers attach directly to the frame without bungee cords, and changing a cover is a simple unclip-and-attach process.

Which size fits your shoot

• Choose the 2x2m Large if: You work in smaller spaces, often need bounce as well as diffusion, and want the lighter kit (10.65 kg) for easier transport.
• Choose the 2.9x2.9m Extra Large if: You need to soften or flag a larger area—full-length portraits, small groups, or broad backgrounds—and have the stands and floor space to support a 2.9m frame.
• Check before you buy: Confirm your stands have a 16mm (5/8”) spigot and are rated for the kit's weight; the supplied information does not list a maximum stand capacity or wind limit.
