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

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can the center column be inverted for low level shooting?

A: Yes

Q: 2. What is the standing height if you do not extend any legs and do not add the center column so that would be at its sturdiest?

A: If you spread the legs out to the widest angle without extending them, the Minimum Height would be 4.4" inches.

Q: 3. Will this plate fit on a MVH500AH head?

A: No it will not

Q: 4. Hello. can this be used on a DSLR camera? or is it just for small cameras?

A: It's strong enough to support a DSLR + lens combination of up to 11lbs (but I'd recommend not going above 6lbs), but because of its higher center of gravity at max height, it might be a little hard to stabilize. I'd recommend using the tripod with a wider leg angle and I would avoid using the center column that comes with it.

Q: 5. Will this work on a MVH500SH head?

A: No it will not, it's too wide. The only plate designed to work with the MVH500AH head is the 500PLONG.

A: At full extension with a head and camera, the Viewfinder might be a little higher than your eye, but the height is adjustable so no problem getting it perfect for you height. With regard to backpacking with it, its folded length is 26.4". With a head attached that would exceed 30". . . . a little long for a long trek.

Q: 10. Is this tripod sturdy enough for a Nikon 600/4 with Wimberley WH-200 head?

A: Yes. I have used it without any problem for Canon 5DIII with 70-200 L2.8 at the top of a mountain in a windy time. To enhance its sturdiness you can hang a carring beg or something heavy to the middle rising bar.
