Rosco Cinegel #3064 is a reinforced woven diffusion material (Silent 1/4 Grid Cloth) that remains quiet in wind.
Overview
Rosco 3064 is the product number for the Cinegel #3064 "Silent 1/4 Grid Cloth" from the Cinegel range by manufacturer Rosco. It is a reinforced, woven diffusion material (Grid Cloth) primarily used in butterfly and overhead frames in film and television to scatter and soften daylight or artificial light.
The special feature of the "Silent" variant: The fabric is constructed so that it does not flap or "sing" loudly in the wind outdoors. This makes 3064 particularly suitable for exterior shoots where conventional Grid Cloth would cause disruptive noise in audio recordings.
Classification and Diffusion Grade
The "1/4" in the name denotes the diffusion strength: 3064 is the low-noise equivalent to the classic 1/4 Grid Cloth (#3034) and, according to the manufacturer, possesses comparable optical properties. It therefore provides the same relatively light diffusion, but in a wind-resistant, reinforced woven construction.

Use on Set
3064 is typically stretched in frames and hung in front of a light source or between the sun and the subject to enlarge and soften the light. It is often available pre-made from specialized dealers – with a surrounding binding and grommets – so that it fits directly into the standardized butterfly and overhead frames used in film and television production; it can also be sewn.
- Wind Resistance: remains quiet in outdoor use with wind – relevant for ambient sound recording.
- Robustness: reinforced fabric, making it more durable than pure film diffusion.
- Common Formats: available as a sheet and in frame sizes such as 6x6', 12x12', 20x20', and as a 60" roll (according to trade listings).
