Review on 📸 Neewer Camera Flash Gels Transparent Color Correction Light Filter Kit (20 Pieces) with Attachment Band for Photo Studio Strobe Flash Lights by Marquel Henry

Shot with Canon 600ex-rt flashes. The gels do a pretty good job of altering the light in the way you would expect. There are enough correction filter options to suit my needs. Thanks to the range of gels included in the kit, I can now play with artistic colors even more. No, individual gels are not labeled. But I fixed it pretty easily with a set of markers. The storage bag feels comfortable. It keeps all transparencies and index cards in one place, provides good wrinkle protection for transparencies, and is flat when closed. So which photographer doesn't find a little more room in their bag for a light, flat and inexpensive device? Excellent! The only thing that remains is how I actually use/attach the gels to my flashes. First, the films on the 600ex-rt barely cover the width of the heads. They cover them, but there is not a millimeter left on either side. (Does this affect the light quality with a little white speck on one edge when the gel is off center? Probably not. But it bothered me.) Tried using the ribbon that came with it. It was ok but a little bulky and awkward to use. First I had to put a bandage around my head; Then pull the rubber ear on one side and insert the gel tongue underneath. Then pull the ear on the other side and insert the other gel strip under that ear. After that, it was necessary to massage the gel back and forth to get it centered and flattened. I tried using a bit of tape on each of the tabs. But it was a bit of a struggle to focus and get stuck on a flat surface. And I really didn't want to tape up those little films every time I used them; They're just not that hard to be abused that often. I thought of gritting my teeth and putting the velcro on the flash (as anyone who has ever used a flash modifier or attachment will tell you you MUST do) and then putting the velcro on the gel tabs. It will work. But I hate having to constantly attach velcro to my gear! Also, it seemed like a lot of work for something I don't think I'll be using very much. Plus plus it should turn that cute flat little pouch into an ugly box that I would struggle to find room for in my bag. I have several velcro straps that look like reusable zip ties. I tried them too, but they didn't hold the gels tight enough when I put them on the flash head. I ended up trying to just use an old plain rubber band. I kept the gel centered on the lens and used one hand to squeeze the tabs to keep the film flat. Then I pull the elastic over my head and loop with the other hand and twist the elastic again. Did! The gel was centered, covering the entire lens and fitting the lens perfectly! Which photographer doesn't have an extra rubber band in his pocket? This technique worked best when the flash head was pointing straight up and the elastic was big enough to do the twist and double loop. So now I like them and I have more chances to use them. But what to do with the supplied fastening tape? I saw someone suggest using it to remove stuck lens filters. I think that would be a great idea. as long as I don't have to find another spot in my camera bag to stuff it.
