Overall, for small production work, I find this to be extremely helpful in creating separation and added atmosphere. It’s relatively small, lightweight, and very usable if you have the right working distances.I’m using it on my 300 COB heads.CON: the locking notches on the side of the lens are not refined enough for precise focusing. Instead of being fully geared, like say on a Bellows focusing system, you physically pull/push the lens to the desired focusing point. That’s easy enough. However 98% of the time, the tightening screw will push the optic out of focus as it’s tightened. The solution then is to build muscle memory, as it were, around the fickleness of the knob, and over or under focus your optic based on where it will end up once tightened. The other solution, of course, is to tighten it down and move your light stand closer or further away to get the desired focus. I tend to lean toward the former as I don’t always have the most working room for my light stands.NITPICK: not really a con, but many of the included GOBO‘s in the kit are fairly impractical, at least for more my purposes. For example, do you really need to project a brick wall? The window centric plates, and a few of the patterns, especially when used more out of focus, tend to work really well.THINGS TO CONSIDER: Obviously, the mount, optics, and metal cutouts get very hot fairly quickly. Since you can’t focus the lens with the light off, you need to work quickly to save your fingertips. I recommend if you’re going to be doing lots of trial and error to make sure you have some grip gloves handy. This is especially true with the GOBO plates. While it’s fairly easy to pick out a pattern that will be useful in the setting your shooting, the angle of the light, and its perspective to your background often mean that you need to rotate the plate inside the holder to get the alignment correct. For example, I often use the ones that look like mini blinds or window panes. When projecting at an angle downward and at an angle not specifically perpendicular to a wall or bookcase, you have to rotate the plate a couple of degrees to get the lines vertical in your shot. It takes about 10 seconds for the plates to get too hot to work with if you don’t have gloves.Overall, for the money, this is a very handy item, and has been super helpful in creating depth for interviews and atmosphere for talking head shots. I do wish the kit included a few more practical GOBO’s, and I certainly wish the focusing mechanism had been better implemented, but overall, the pros significantly outweigh the cons.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
