Patterns, or gobos, are widely used by designers in theatre, film, photography and television to create atmosphere, project scenery, and generally enhance the visual impact of their lighting.

Conceived by some of the world's leading lighting designers, the Rosco range presently includes hundreds of standard steel gobo designs.

To insure design integrity the patterns are etched using a precise double-sided process on stainless steel. The result is durable, high quality patterns which will withstand the extreme heat at the gate of ellipsoidal spotlights.

Rosco steel gobos are round to allow for rotation in the gate when aligning the projected image.

The standard "B" size is suitable for most fixtures with a 6" lens when used with a Rosco Pattern Holder or the holders of other manufacturers.

Trimming of patterns, where necessary, can be easily accomplished with a pair of scissors.

Q: 8. What would be the rationale for purchasing screw knob versus lever release clamp?

A: Both are equally competent at holding the camera in the clamp, and for both lever clamps I own neither has ever slipped. It is possible that the lever could be accidentally hooked on something and it could open without intending to, though it's never happened to me and I've hiked with tripod and camera over my shoulder a number of times. The screw knob would be the most positive and of the two if a person was really worried about accidental opening.What I like best about the lever clamp is the speed of opening, which facilitates quick swap of the camera from portrait to landscape orientation (if you have an L-plate) and fast adjustments of the camera's position in the clamp when adjusting centering.
