Rosco Fluorescent Lighting Sleeves/Tube Guards are a 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 from 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, photographer, and cinematographer.

For T12 Lamps    UL94HB Rated Polycarbonate    End Caps Protect from Shattered Glass    Easily Trimmed with Scissors    Over 300 Tube Colors Available

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: 2. I currently have an Oben AC-1420 tripod which came with an Oben BA-1 ball head and two RP-20 quick release plates. I mount a Canon 5D Mark II on this rig, but the plate allows the camera to twist. I am considering an anti-twist plate made by Kirk: B&H# KIPZ128, but Oben tells me that the BA-1 will not work with any plate requiring an Acra-Swiss technology, which this one does.MY questions to you are (1) If I buy the BE-117 ball head plus the Kirk Anti-twist plate above, will everything work together on my existing Oben tripod with no further adaptations? With my camera? Will the quick release function be compromised in any way by the Kirk anti-twist plate?Is there a cheaper way to do this? I set out for buy a simple anti-twist plate and suddenly seem to be knee-deep in more new equipment.Thanks.
