The Tiffen 125mm Coarse Thread Gold Diffusion/FX 1 Filter diffuses strong light entering the lens and produces a glowing effect. While the resulting image appears softer and ethereal, there is little loss of clarity or detail. This filter works by diffusing the light entering the lens with small aberrations; by spreading the light more evenly, a soft glow is created rather than the sharp, well-defined image when shooting without a filter. In addition to the diffusion provided, a gold tint is also added to the image giving more warmth and helping to balance skin tones. This filter has a 1 density, providing a small amount of softening.

Tiffen filters are made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings.

Q: 1. So, recently I purchased the Lee Filters Quick Location Gel pack and was intending to use the with this light and the barn door attachment (the filter tray on the bar doors). But upon placing the filter in the tray and turning the light up to 100% it burned right through the filter. So what kind of filter gels are meant to be used with these attachments on the 300d mkii? Is it simply just too hot and I should clip them onto the bar doors? What about putting gels on the spotlight mount?

A: You would want to get the gel as far forward as you can with out having too much light bleed. Rosco Cinegel is one of the better heat rated options, but it can still be degraded by the heat.

Q: 9. What is the best battery that can power this light?

A: While which brand/model would be best may be personal preference, I would also state it would depend if you will be only using the battery locally or if you plan to travel by air with the battery. Lithium batteries with more than 100 watt hours may be allowed in carry-on bags with airline approval. One spare battery, not exceeding 300 watt hours, or two spare batteries, not exceeding 160 watt hours each, are permitted in carry-on bags. With approval for airline travel, the GEN ENERGY G-B100 14.4V, 160Wh, 15A Li-Ion Battery (Gold Mount), B&H # GEB100160W15, or the Watson Pro Cine High-Load Gold Mount Battery, B&H # WAAM148HCSR, the Watson Pro 15A High-Load 14.8V 93Wh Li-Ion Battery (Gold Mount), B&H # WAAM93HLE, would work with the above light fixture. If you will be travelling locally and not by air, then you may use higher-wattage batteries such as the GEN ENERGY 14.4V Li-Ion Gold Mount Battery (390Wh, 15A), B&H # GE100390W15G, the Core SWX Hypercore XL 14.8V 293Wh Gold Mount Battery, B&H # COHCXLAG, the SWIT 260Wh 14.4/28.8 Bi-Voltage Li-Ion Battery with Gold Mount, B&H # SWPBH260A, or the SHAPE FULL PLAY 26V 260Wh Lithium-Ion Battery (Gold Mount), B&H # SHG26LC, as compatible options for your usage needs.
