Optical Snoot Review by Jake Hicks
In this Blog, we take a look at a Review of our Optical Snoot by Photographer Jake Hicks.
The Pixapro® Optical snoot, in conjunction with a Canon EF Mount lens, enables you to project patterns onto your subject or background, to produce creative and dramatic effects with your strobe or LED studio light. Use Gobos to add creativity to your images, creating different shapes and patterns onto your background or subject. This is the ideal tool for any photographer that likes to get creative with their lighting, which can range from fashion, portrait, editorial and product photographers.
The Pixapro® Optical snoot allows you to insert a range of different GOBOS which can be used to project different shapes and patterns onto your background or subject. Any Canon EF Lens can be mounted to the front of the optical snoot (we recommend using light-weight prime lenses such as the 50mm f/1.8 etc.) to focus or de-focus the light to produce softer or crisper projections, depending on the type of look you are trying to achieve. It can also be used in conjunction with coloured gels for creative effects.
Optical Snoot projectors are commonly used by fashion, portrait and editorial photographers, as well as product photographers as the light, can be focused to highlight specific areas of the product.
The snoot also has a unique design which allows it to be used with a wide variety of different flashes, thanks to the interchangeable speedring you can use this on almost any flash on the market. This helps to give all photographers, a high quality, low cost solution to their modifier needs. These include, Bowens, Elinchrom, Broncolor, and Profoto (please view compatibility table for more information)
The Optical Snoot is the ideal tool for any photographer that likes to get creative and add mood with their lighting, which can range from fashion, portrait, editorial and product photographers.
