Rogue Grid Gels - Circular Lighting Filters for Rogue Grid - Printed for Easy Identification - 20 Gel Colors - Also Compatible with Round Flash Head Magnetic Light Modifiers (not included)

I've been reading a lot of books and articles later about what I can do to get those extra details that make a shot exciting. Up until a few weeks ago, I had rarely used color gels other than to compensate for ambient lighting, and I wanted to pick up something that had a wide variety of colors to use. The Rogue system definitely fit the bill with a number of color correction, as well as special effects colors to use. I also like that the gels have their colors and f-stop loss information written directly on the material. Very helpful. The filters are organized into three sections, Greens/Blues, Correction Filters, and Yellows/Reds. Having a slaved or radio-triggered speedlite somewhere in the background with even a slight tinge of color is often enough to keep a viewer's attention, even if for an extra few seconds. I found the system helpful in supporting the themes that I was going after, drawing attention to a specific area of a shot, and giving energy to a still image. A few usage notes: When fastening the gel to your flash head, let it "bow" up a little bit. Don't strap it down directly across the lens, as it will start to deform from the heat. I looked over at one of my flashes during a shoot to see smoke coming up from it. It had actually begun to melt the gel material in place. Once I gave it some slack, it performed beautifully, although I'm not sure how you would go about using a strap-on grid... probably why Rogue makes their own circular grid and pack of gels for it (sold separately, of course). Also, they're nice enough to include a rubber strap to hold the gels in place by their tabs. If you want to use two different colored gels on two different flashes (CTO orange up front, red in the back, for example) you'll need a way to hold it in place. I recommend buying a couple of thick rubber bands (there's really so much more you can use them for as well) or using one of those "I Support Kittens Rights" wrist things that everyone sells for charities nowadays. They make great speedlite accessory holders. livestrong bracelet, hair tie or rubber band

I purchased this product because I didn't fancy gluing Velcro pads to my expensive flash. The gels are already pre-cut to an ideal shape for mounting to any flash using a standard rubber band, and a perfect rubber band is already included! I was initially disappointed because the included rubber band wasn't shaped the same way as the one I saw in the product picture here on Amazon. The one in the picture has a couple of slits cut into it to make mounting the gels easier. The one I received is just a solid black elastic band with the word 'ROGUE" indented in it. Honestly, any 1/2" wide elastic band would work fine for this purpose. But the one provided is black (which matches most flashes) and is very high quality. You put the rubber band around the head of your flash, somewhat near the front of it, and leave it there. Mounting the gels requires lifting the rubber band a bit at the side and slipping a narrow end of the gel under the band. Once you do that on each side, the gel stays safely in place and completely covers the reflector. After doing it a few times, it's become very easy. I can switch gels in seconds. This system also has the added bonus of being able to easily mount multiple gels at the same time. I can easily use these gels with my flash's bounce card extended, or with the Rogue Flash Bender bounce card attached. The gels are very high quality. The light they produce is even and predictable. After many repeated uses, none of my gels have become crinkled or damaged in any way. The whole kit comes in a handy pouch for storing everything. Inside the pouch are dividers for keeping all the gels sorted. And there are identification cards inside the pouch which list the name, color and light loss of each gel. In addition, each gel has all that same information printed right on it, so it's easy to keep things organized and get exactly what you need without any guessing. At less than a half-inch thick, the whole thing slips easily into any pocket or camera bag. It's a very well thought-out and high quality kit.

Comprehensive filter kit for strobists. Each gel is marked with colour (according to LEE names) as well as light loss (in stops). It also comes with useful guide. If you have more than one flash there is also a combi kit that has three bands and three of each of six commonly used filters. It's the same price so probably worth it if you just want to correct the light and not get too 'creative'.

The gels are durable, not too thin. The product is decent and will last a while. Very handy to have the pouch as well.

Der Grund meines Erwerbs dieses Sets war das farbigblitzen des Hintergrundes. Die Korrekturfolien habe ich natürlich dankend mitgenommen. Das Set bietet eine breite Auswahl an Farbfolien, die sich mit dem Mitgelieferten Gummiband einfach am Systemblitz befestigen lassen. Alles befindet sich in einer netten Schutzhülle. Auf jeder Folie ist der ungefähre Lichtverlust aufgedruckt, der angibt wie sehr das Blitzlicht abgeschwächt wird wenn die jeweilige Folie genutzt wird. Da ich mich in der Praxis eher an den Ergebnissen orientiere ist diese Information nur eine nette Zugabe. Ich hätte mir jedoch ein zusätzliches Gummiband gewünscht, um zwei verschiedene Folien auf zwei Blitzen zu verwenden. So ließe sich ein schöner Farbverlauf auf dem Hintergrund realisieren. So muss man sich mit Tesafilm oder einem anderen Gummiband behelfen. Im Anbetracht der Tatsache dass es deutlich günstigere Foliensets gibt wäre ein zweites Band nicht verkehrt gewesen. Trotzdem vergebe ich für die gute Funktion fünf Sterne.

Bon produits, fait parfaitement ce qu’on lui demande Les +: - il y a bien plusieurs élastiques (voir photo) - il a les guides sur les gelatines ce qui est très pratique - bien classé dans sa sacoche Attention à bien laissé de l’espace entre le flash et la gélatine, sinon la chaleur risque de la déformer .. Ps: hésitez pas a l’indiqué si mon avis vous a été utile ☺️

Gelatine per flash molto belle e ben fatte, le ho prese per usarle in combinazione con il Godox AD200Pro. Ottime quelle di correzione colore e interessanti quelle colorate. La saccoccia fornita non è proprio il massimo e dentro tende tutto a mescolarsi, soprattutto in situazioni concitate. Ma per il costo e la resa si passa sopra perchè è un ottimo prodotto.
