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: 1. Is this tripod sturdy enough for a Nikon 600/4 VR mounted on a full Wimberley (WH-200)?

A: I have this tripod with the Wimberley gimbal head. Together they weigh about 7 pounds. I use this rig with a 200-400 and a 1.4TC and my D810 or D750. I get better results with the D750 as there is less sensitivity to micro-blur.The rig is substantial enough for my lens, but I do not know how much heavier/longer your 600mm lens is. I do not think weight is the issue, but you can check the specs and compare.My experience is that it is about technique and settings. I get best results with a bean bag resting on the lens, and if the target is stationary, I use m-up. Also use electronic front curtain shutter. The issue is vibration from the shutter rolling down the lens. I do not think this is a tripod issue. I sometimes use my arm laying on the lens if I am shooting fast enough.

Q: 2. Trying to compare the Gitzo GT3542L & the GT2543L to some of the CF tripods from Induro. Anybody care to give me your 2 Cents?

A: When you see them side by side you'll but the Gitzo,I was real close to buying the Induro head though but settled on the Kirk BH-1

Q: 3. Can I use in water? ie. streams and ocean

A: You can use this tripod in streams, I would not recommend salt water, regardless, you will have to take it apart after use and clean and dry the inserts (shims) and twist knobs.

Q: 4. How long is the short column?

A: The center column affects the height of the tripod about 9 .

Q: 7. What's the most suitable Benro Head that goes with this model? (I have a D500 with Sigma 150-600C and my Benro C2692TB1 tripod/head is wobbling with it.)

A: I have the GD3WH on it. It's light, very sturdy and doesn't have a conflict with hitting any part of the tripod when tilted or turned.

Q: 8. 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.

Q: 9. Does the Gitzo Center Column Bubble Level GLEVEL1 or GLEVEL2 fit on this tripod, too? I can't find any specific bubble level for series 3.Thank you, Philip

A: No, sorry neither will fit on a 3 series gitzo. If you need a bubble level, I would recommend one that attaches to the hotshoe of your camera.

A: Yes, on top next to the base plate.
