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. Would this be overkill for Fuji X camera systems?

A: I bought this system not because of the gear that was going to go on it but for its ruggedness, and ease of use. Its a bit pricey but the quality is so good I use it for all my gear now. Including video stuff. (if I need a static shot). If you have the extra dollars to fork out for it I would not hesitate on buying it.

Q: 2. Where is this tripod made?

A: According to the information we have, our current inventory's Country of Origin is Taiwan. Please be aware this can change over the product's production life without notice.

Q: 3. Minimum height for this ?

A: The minimum height for the CT-3431 is 9.0 .

Q: 4. I have an older CT-3401 and if you turn one of the leg locks they all sometimes turn. I have other tripods that don't do this. Is this newer version upgraded so this doesn't happen? Otherwise, my Feisol is great.

A: No, each g-lock has to be turned in order to expand the legs of the tripod.

Q: 5. Any idea what the weight would be with the center column removed and the mounting plate installed?

A: The weight would be minimally heavier than the regular CT-3472, which is about four pounds.

Q: 6. Can you replace the telescoping column with a regular single piece center column?

A: According to FEISOL's site, the only other center column this is compatible with is the FEISOL CC-2807 Short Center Column.

Q: 7. Can this support the weight of Canon 300 f2.8 and 1D Mk IV?

A: The tripod can easily hold it. The issue you'll face is the ball head. Assuming that you want to keep the weight light, you'll want a lightweight head, too. Whichever one you get, make sure it can handle the weight of the body and lens. Keep in mind that the lens acts as a lever. That lens, especially with filters attached will cause many lesser heads to creep. FWIW, I use a Really Right Stuff BH-30, Canon 70D and (among others) a Canon 100-400 (old model) with no problem

Q: 8. I HAVE THE FEISOL CT-3472LV Elite Rapid Carbon Fiber Tripod with Leveling Centre Column - Question: The leaving centre column works great for levelling but I can't for the life of me figure out how to 1. lock it in place so it does not rotate or 2. raise it for a higher positon and lock it down. Does it not do those things or do I have a defective levelling column?

A: The bottom rubber piece adjusts the tension in the leveler. The metal ring on the top of the center plate will allow you the adjust the column height.

Q: 9. There is a $62.05 savings if you purchase the tripod and leveling center column separately. Am I missing something here?

A: The FEISOL Elite Tripod CT-3472LV M2 Rapid with Leveling Center Column includes a special Leveling Center Column; the FEISOL CT-3472 Center Column does not have the leveling feature.

Q: 10. If you wanted to have one tripod for both portrait photography and video, would you get this Feisol or the Manfrotto 536 four section tripod?

A: The Feisol has a levelling Center column.
