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.
The Martcom team was super efficient, the service was very fast, and when asking them about the field they clarified any doubts I could have. Totally recommended.
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!
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!
Rivenditore affidabile, servizio clienti molto buono. Ottima la possibilità di ritirare il materiale a Milano in alternativa alla spedizione. Consigliato.
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!
It was the first time making a purchase at Martcom, the process was smooth, cameras arrived in proper packing and delivery was quick to Portugal. Thank you for the support on the chat before the purchase. Recommended 100%.
Once again, excellent service from the team at Martcom in relation to my recent order. Very helpful and responsive to all my questions. Highly recommended.
ho comprato da questo sito già un paio di volte negli ultimi mesi e mi sono trovato benissimo… prodotti di alta qualità, spedizione veloce e prezzi ok
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!
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!
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.
Professionalism and availability on the supply of photographic equipment for professionals! Thanks from Nice Shot Art studio !!
