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. Can this clamp be mounted directly to a Skimmer Pod?

A: Yes, this can mount directly to the Skimmer Pod. The 3/8-16" threads of the Wimberley C-12 QR clamp can screw completely onto the Skimmer Pod's 3/8"-16 stainless steel captive bolt.

A: This will fit any arca-swiss ballhead. The most popular ballheads sold for long lenses are Arca-Swiss (brand), Really Right Stuff, Sirui, Benro, Gitzo, etc. Try removing the safety stop screws on the bottom of the plate and see if that helps you slide the plate in.

Q: 8. Can you mount this plate to the camera using one of the included screws with the hole in the middle of the plate?

Q: 9. can this Desmond DPL-169 quick release plate be use on the SLIK pro 700DX tripod ?

A: Slik Pro 700 DX Tripod that is Arca-compatible, then you may use the Desmond DPL-115 Long Lens Quick Release Plate (115mm) on your tripod head (as the Slik Pro 700 DX would be the tripod legs by itself). If you are referring to the Slik 700DX Pro 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head that is included with the tripod in the two kits we carry, then no, the Desmond DPL-115 Long Lens Quick Release Plate (115mm) is not compatible as the Slik 700DX Pro 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head is not Arca-compatible; the Slik 700DX Pro 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head only uses the proprietary Slik 618-335 Quick Release Plate, B&H # SLQR.25PB800.

Q: 10. will this work on a really right stuff quick release?

A: If you have a Really Right Stuff quick release clamp that uses the screw-lock knob to secure the quick release plate on the clamp, then yes, the Oben QR-53 Long Lens Quick Release Plate (5.3-) would be compatible for use with your quick release clamp. If, however, you have a Really Right Stuff quick release clamp that uses the lever-lock to secure the quick release plate to the clamp, then no, I would not recommend the Oben QR-53 Long Lens Quick Release Plate (5.3-) for your usage needs. (Screw-knob = YES; Lever-lock = NO).
