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: 7. can the center column be used to hang the camera upside down for super low angle?

A: The center column is reversible, so you can reverse it and use your camera in an upside down position. From the Benro website, I also found the following answer to a question asking if it is possible to remove the center column to place the camera close to the ground: Yes, but you will need to use one of the Benro Extra Low Columns in its place. These accessories are only 4.7 long, and will permit the tripod to be set to a very low height.

Q: 8. 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: 9. How would the Gitzo GIGH5380S ball head work with the GT3542 tripod for bird photography with a canon 100-400 lens on a 5D mark 3?

A: I use a Wimberly head on this tripod for bird photography with both the Cannon 100 to 400 lens and the Cannon 600mm lens. I find it is much easier to stay on a bird with the Wimberly head that the Gitzo ball head that I previously used. The balance is much better.
