Rosco Fluorescent Lighting Sleeves/Tube Guards are a very reliable and cost-effective system for easy control of tough lighting scenarios- especially under fluorescents. In addition to the financial benefits of the sleeves, they protect against the potential disaster of glass shattering by containing the lamp within the end caps.

Rosco sleeves are constructed of a solid polycarbonate tube within which is held the specific filter. The choice of filters and combination of filters is endless - there are complete Roscolux, Cinegel or E-Colour color filter lines - something for every venue, every photographer, every cinematographer.

For T5 Lamps    Over 300 Colors Available    UL94HB Rated Polycarbonate    End Caps Protect From Shattered Glass    Easily Trimmed with Scissors

Available in sizes for T12, T8 and T5 fluorescent lamps

The T8 and T5 sizes contain a UV filter that minimizes fading

All standard sizes (2, 4, 5, and 8') are easily trimmed to accommodate any size lamp

Q: 6. I have a Novoflex MagicBall Ballhead, will this tripod fit with it? Or do I need to buy any accessories for it?

A: Yes. That ball head would be fine. The other two reviews are a bit misguided in my opinion, as there is no such thing as excess stability, or “overpowering” of a ball head. Yes, aesthetically, the ball head may look a bit odd when compared to the base. Yes, the tripod is bulky, and a bit heavy. It is a rock though.

Q: 9. Can I replace one of the legs on this tripod. Mine is stuck and wont unscrew.Not sure if some sand got stuck in it. Can I order a replacement and where? Thanks

A: It is easy to remove a single leg by removing the hex screw at the top. Presumably it is possible to get a single leg replacement direct from Gitzo.If it is just the telescope part of the leg that is stuck it may be possible to loosen it with liberal use of penetrating oil such as WD40 or Lusol, then apply a reasonable amount of force to undo the locking collar.
