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.
Professionalism and availability on the supply of photographic equipment for professionals! Thanks from Nice Shot Art studio !!
Serious online shop that answered my questions quickly and friendly. Shipping was super fast and the goods matched the description. We recommend. A thousand thanks.
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!
First time buyer was wary buying from Italy. Bought a Canon EOS R7 which is impossible to get in the UK without being on a several month waiting list. Well packed and come next day delivery with DHL. Happy to recommend !!
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 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!
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!
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.
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.
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 👍.
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!
