The Pixapro® Optical Snoot 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. It features a built-in lens, which enables you 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 the included selection of 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 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.

The main purpose of the optical snoot is to project patterns onto your subject or background, to produce creative and dramatic effects with your strobe or LED studio light.
The optical snoot will not transmit 100% of the power output by light, like many other light modifiers do (e.g. softboxes, reflectors etc), as some of the light bounces around inside the snoot, and is absorbed by the interior walls of the snoot. Distance to subject will also affect the amount of output that you will get out of it.
With this set up, you should be able to get a decent amount of light output, and create projections with a sharp edge or a a soft edge by changing the focus of the lens (please see images below).

Optical Snoot Spot Projector
This optical snoot is superb. I also have the one where you fit your own lens but this one is better and much easier to use. Much easier to obtain sharp focus light than the other one. I wish I had waited and bought 2 of these. I also liked that it came as a kit with 16 gobos and coloured gels. A best buy for me and solidly made to last.
