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.
Rivenditore affidabile, servizio clienti molto buono. Ottima la possibilità di ritirare il materiale a Milano in alternativa alla spedizione. Consigliato.
ordering was easy and they were the only place in europe to have the camera in stock. posted to the U.K. without any problem.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
Eccellente sotto tutti i punti di vista! Ho trovato dei prodotti introvabili altrove e li ho ricevuti in tempi ultrarapidi. Servizio clienti di prima classe. Grazie!!
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.
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.
Evething was perfect for a fast delivery to Belgium. Communication is easy and fast on what’s app. Thank you.
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!
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.
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!
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!
