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.
Evething was perfect for a fast delivery to Belgium. Communication is easy and fast on what’s app. Thank you.
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!
Rivenditore affidabile, servizio clienti molto buono. Ottima la possibilità di ritirare il materiale a Milano in alternativa alla spedizione. Consigliato.
Absolutely happy I discovered this shop. The team were very responsive on whatsapp and even I hopped on a phone call so they help me a bit with my choices. They were very happy to help and they really know their products. I ordered several profoto products and they helped me make sure they are what I need. I live abroad so they helped me find the lower prices for shipping. I HIGHLY recommend them. As of now I will shop gear with them!
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.
Da subito gentilissimi e a disposizione per qualsiasi chiarimento. Competenti e professionali sotto ogni punti di vista, pronti a consigliare ed aiutare, per toglierti ogni dubbio riguardo l’utilizzo o la scelta della strumentazione di cui necessiti. Sicuramente ripasserò a comprare in negozio da loro o se necessario a noleggiare.
Ho acquistato nei giorni scorsi una fotocamera e non posso che esprimere un parere favorevole sia per l’assistenza durante l’acquisto che per la serietà professionale e la gentilezza del personale.
Great service both online and in person at their Milan office. Perfect for urgent purchases for those who work in Milan in video productions. Highly recommended!
Ich habe bei Martcom ein Bodenstativ gekauft, dass in Deutschland zur Zeit nicht lieferbar ist. Der Onlineshop ist übersichtlich und einfach zu bedienen. Den Kauf habe ich über Paypal abgewickelt und innerhalb von 3 Tagen nach Deutschland geliefert bekommen. Die Ware und die Abwicklung über Martcom haben meine Erwartungen übertroffen. Vielen Dank
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.
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!

Io ho avuto una ottima esperienza con loro. Mi hanno risposto in tempo reale via whatsapp con precisione, competenza e cortesia, risolvendo ogni problema in un momento difficile come questo. Pochi giorni dopo ho ricevuto il materiale come da accordi.. perfetto. Voto 10
