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.
Based in Malta, we had an incredibly positive experience with Martcom. We were in need of product urgently and Giorgio helped us achieve a deadline. THANK YOU, highly recommended. Will use again and again!
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.
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 stumbled upon Martcom because they offered the lowest price on an item I was looking to purchase, but I will definitely buy again from them because of the EXCELLENT customer experience I had communicating with them. They really went beyond my expectation of good service.
These guys are amazing! Thank you for your job. I got a camera delivered to Cyprus in 2 day – it’s almost unbelievable. Also they are a certified Canon reseller that I had personally confirmed with Canon officials (having bad experience in the past with another online store). Will be coming back for more gear if needed any filming equipment when in Europe 👍.
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!
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%.
Franchement au top, envoi le jour même, package au top, matériel nickel en bref achetez les yeux fermés (et ça a été livré ultra vite)
Immediately very kind and available for any clarification. Competent and professional from every point of view, ready to advise and help, to remove any doubts about the use or choice of the equipment you need. I will definitely come back to buy in the store from them or if necessary to rent.
I ordered Angelbird CFExpress cards (which were not available anywhere in the U.S.) and Martcom was able to find stock and sending me some, which I could not be happier about. Customer service was very fast and helpful, as I received regular updates about my item’s availability. Thank you Martcom!
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
A pleasure to do business with. Was looking for Canon R7 and Martcom was the only place I could find it in stock. Very competitive price, and communication with the company was excellent throughout the process. Delivery 3 days earlier than expected. Would recommend Martcom and would definitely use again.
What i ordered came really fast and the whole process was smooth and easy. I will definitely buy again and again from these guys.
First time I bought equipment from them, nothing to complain, professional staff and kindness. The equipment was in perde condition and I received a pretty quick email about when to go to pick up my goods. Excellent experience
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!
