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.
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 !!
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.
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 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’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.
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 👍.
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)
Ottimo store e fantastica comunicazione diretta con il cliente, persone affidabili che vengono incontro alle tue esigenze. Top!
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.
