Shocked how well this works

I have two hotspots I have a 10 year old model that costs $2500 and this one. It has the best lens, no aberrations, pure color from edge to edge. I use 100-300 old canonical zoom. It is small and light and works easily on a tripod.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • obsolete model

Not for high power strobe lights - heater.

Powerful flashes get hot very quickly (used a Broncolo 3200J at 1/8 power and it still got hot). You need an f1.4 lens to get results with the Godox AD200. As a result, I'd say it's useful for desktops, but not full-fledged studios.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Some cons

The funny thing is that you use your money to buy

When using the strongest light such as . An insult to online sales for offering such a product. I didn't return it because the return period has expired and I tried it for the first time yesterday.

Pros
  • Positive only
Cons
  • . Communication with seller

It's missing parts and still doesn't work properly with the best gear.

I bought this set because I thought it would be great for my shoot. The right parts came and then it didn't work. We found out that the lens was not shipped with a spout. I tried using a different Nikon but it made the photos too dark and I used Profoto lamps. So I'm confused. I would like to better understand why I did not receive the lens.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Bad set

Affordable but tricky to use

This snood is very affordable compared to big brand options, I think it's about half the price. However, it is difficult to operate and tricky to rotate the metal parts of the stencil. You can only rotate each pattern piece about 90° before removing and reinserting it completely. This is due to a defect in the bracket that holds the metal plate in this sleeve. It works, but could have been designed with a little more thought.

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Some little things

Great product for the price

I enjoyed using the cone nozzle. I was impressed with the build quality for the price. Understand, for $100 it's half the cost of other snoods, don't expect them to be completely solid. I would have liked the gobo holder to be a little easier to load but for the price it's great. I could not have bought at a higher price. The best part is that it works. I installed this on a Godox Ad 400. I used a modeling light for focusing and aiming. I am very satisfied with the result.

Pros
  • Finally bought it
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

EXCELLENT modifier even more Price

this thing is EXCELLENT! It's essentially a Leko on a Bowens mount. It works great with whatever lens I put on it. Shapes are sharp if you focus the lens properly. I would open the lens attached to the aperture less than fully so the shapes come out very sharp and the modeling light gets through. I would like the inner diffuser to be removable to let in more light from the modeling light. Works best in a dark studio where only modeling lamps are used. Now I just need special inserts that can…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

lighting problems. Best in Lighting Controls & Modifiers

Normally an optical snoot costs $250-$300. When I saw this one on sale for $149 I was skeptical about its quality. I'm a product photographer and I took a test shot with this optical assembly using Canon L-series lenses on a device with the assembly. When setting focus on a muzzle mounted lens you sometimes get an odd pattern which I believe is the result of poor quality glass being muzzle mounted. See for example the attached image. Sometimes he does and sometimes he doesn't. It all depends on

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Affordable, manageable, but has problems.

I bought this optical attachment from Wellmaking and an extra set of gobos. There will be several problems, none of which are insurmountable, just annoying. First, gobo cucoloris are round while the holder is square or rectangular. This limits how far you can rotate them to position them correctly against the background before the holder pops out of the clip. The holder is held in place by three spring-loaded washers that sit on three posts that separate the lens mount from the rest of the…

Pros
  • Heavy Duty
Cons
  • Damaged
