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. Thanks for the answer about the center column. Is it possible to take out the center column all together??

A: Yes, you can remove the center column but if there is no column used, it is not usable as a typical tripod.

Q: 2. 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).

Q: 10. Has anyone taken this tripod to the beach and gotten salt water and sand in the legs requiring the legs be taken apart and cleaned?
