The Pixapro EF-Mount Optical Snoot Spot Projector II enables you to use Canon EF or EF-S lenses to project patterns onto your subject or background, and to add visual interest or cinematic effects with your studio strobe. It can also be used with LED COB studio lights, making it a great choice for cinematographers as well. Since you have the ability to change lenses, you have a lot more options available to you in terms of projection coverage. You can use a wide-angle lens for large projections or a telephoto lens It features are perfect for fashion, beauty, portrait, food, and product photographers. It is also a great tool for filmmakers.

Unlike most optical snoot, the PixaPro EF-mount optical snoot can be used in conjunction with any Canon EF or EF-S mount lenses, giving you the option of using either wide-angle lenses (for projections that cover a wide area) or telephoto lenses (for smaller, more controlled projections). NOTE: NOT compatible with EF-M or RF Mount lenses.

The PixaPro EF-Mount optical snoot spot projector II comes with a selection of 16 different gobos, which enable you to project different shapes and patterns onto your background or subject. You can focus or de-focus the light to produce softer or sharper projections, depending on the type of look you are trying to achieve.

Although the EF-mount Optical Snoot Spot Projector II can be used with any Canon EF or EF-S mount lenses, to get the best results, we recommend using fast prime lenses with a maximum aperture of about f/2.8 or wider (such as 50mm or 85mm f/1.8). Using lenses with smaller max. apertures will result in dimmer projections.
The PixaPro EF-Mount Optical Snoot Spot Projector II is the ideal tool for any photographer or cinematographer who likes to get creative and add mood with their lighting, which can range from fashion, portrait, editorial and product photographers.
Not Suitable for use with Tungsten, Quartz or Halogen Lights. |
When mounting your lens to the EF-Mount Optical snoot adapter, please line up the red dot on the lens (or white square with EF-S lenses) with the red dot on the mount adapter, then turn the lens in a “clockwise” direction until you hear a “click”. Once you have heard the click, please rotate the lens in the opposite direction to ensure that the lens is securely locked in place. If you mount the lens in any other orientation, the lens will not securely lock, and you will run the risk of it coming loose. |
Canon STM Lenses do NOT work with this Optical Snoot as they Cannot be manually focused unless attached to a camera body. |
Please Note: To prolong the life of your light, and internal lens element(s) inside of your Spot projector, we recommend leaving any shutter blades open when not in use. This enables the spot projector to dissipate heat more efficiently and prevent the build-up of excess heat. |
