The gels and filters are applied to theatrical or cinematographic lights to modify the characteristics of the projected light. They can be made of glass or plastic (polyester). Plastic jellies are sold in sheets or rolls to be cut according to the size of the frame.
They are divided into different types according to the purpose for which they are used. They can be colored (color correction) – that change the color of the light beam or correct the excess of a particular color on stage.
Conversions (or also light correction) are another type of gels – they change the color temperature of the light, cool it down or warm it up. They are among the most used. The most common cold conversions are number 201 (cold) and number 202 (half cold). The most common warm conversions are the number 204 (amber) and the number 205 (light amber).
There are also neutral gels that do not serve to change the color of the light, but to reduce its intensity.
There are also diffusers (“frost gels”) which serve to diffuse the light, to make it more homogeneous and free of sharp variations, or to transform a direct light into a diffused light.
The filters are not only used in theatrical and cinematographic lighting, but also in architecture, concerts, television and in photography.
Very well assorted stock of items related to photo and video. Reasonly low priced. God my Smallrig 55′ parabolic defuser very fast delivered to northern Norway. Carefully packed and no damage. I just found this internet store, Martcom, and I think they can match BHPhoto(US) and EU stores in good service and reability. I’ll be back!
Excellent service in relation to my recent order and especially the prompt and efficient communication relating to the delivery of the items which were subject to a strict timetable. I would highly recommend Martcom.
This is a great store: large stock of professional gear, good prices, prompt communication via email / WhatsApp. The dispatch of the order was speedy, and the item arrived super quick in a well-thought packaging. All in all, a warmly recommended new young store, standing out for its remarkable service. Keep up the good work!
I’ve made purchase from this company a couple of times and found them to be highly reliable, well priced and stocked and easy to contact. Their ‘chat now’ really works (so many web sites offer this, only to disappoint) and the responses are fast and full, so need need to keep going back. I think this is a very good company, with a great catalogue of quality gear (esp their range of Kupo products) and so much of it seems to be in stock which is often not the case, especially here in the UK where since leaving the EU (regrettably) we seem to be suffering huge stock delays. So I am happy to recommend Martcom.
Ottimo store e fantastica comunicazione diretta con il cliente, persone affidabili che vengono incontro alle tue esigenze. Top!
Highly recommended! They have great prices, order arrives very quickly and they are very responsive if you have any questions regarding your purchase. My new favorite equipment store!
Really good price and fast shipping. Never ordered from an italien shop – due to language issues, but they have a well translated webshop and order system!
Falsely advertised free shipping for over 500 Euro spend as it says at the top of home page. Placed a large order, no shipping cost added (free) then next day receive an email asking for 420 Euro shipping fee to Cyprus also in EU. Despite highlighting their misleading terms and conditions to them they refused to send the goods. Would not recommend this company as they don’t honour the contract of sale but make excuses after buyer pays.
Ottimi prodotti, grazie a loro ho scoperto il marchio Kupo ed E-Image che sono prodotti di primissima qualità!
Se siete a Milano potete andare a fare il ritiro gratuito in sede e farvi dare qualche consiglio, ma occhio a non comprare tutto il magazzino :)
Affidabili e consgiliato
Ho comprato della attrezzatura, spedizione rapida e super puntuale! mi sono trovato davvero molto bene
It was my first order at Martcom and I was a little afraid, but the order arrived quickly and at a much better price than at other stores. Although it was a problem with a missing product, the problem was solved by email within a few hours, and the missing product was sent with the fastest DHL shipment. Thanks for the seriousness and I will be back with other orders soon. I highly recommend!
Perfect experience and customer support. There was an issue with the availability of some items and the shop owners quickly proposed alternatives, followed up personally and delivered on their promise. The delivery was fast, efficient, the package we’ll protected and the prices really affordable. 100% would recommend!
