Bought for light painting portrait project and am pleased with the results it can achieve
Bought for light painting portrait project and am pleased with the results it can achieve. Consists of two parts both available separately but cheaper if bought together in this set. Fibre Optic part is brilliant and just what I was looking for so am very pleased with it. Cone part is hard rubberised plastic type material which, if you have done DIY light painting tools basically replaces the tape you were using to attach your torch to your chosen brush. Fibre optics were a reasonable price but the short stump end would make it difficult to use DIY methods to attach to a torch for fear or it coming off during photo or damage to fibres when removing the tape. Cone is seriously overpriced for what it is and whilst it does what is needed and makes swapping light sources easier I will continue my hunt in the DIY section or other lightpainting tool providers for alternatives rather than buying another of these. That said it does what it should and is unlikely to break.This is the first purpose made equipment I have bought and although I have given five stars I would note the following:- cone is very stiff and think maybe a more rubbery option for the future may make the insertion into plastic bottles etc easier and more secure. I also found that the torch colour control button was hidden inside the cone making it impossible to use the colour controls. The same company sell an additional attachment to prevent this but is a further £19 charge making the whole item super expensive for what it is. I do feel that for the price the additional attachment should be part of the cone. Fibre optics could do with a slightly larger end/bung to enable use without the need for the cone.Photos below show what effects can be achieved using these items combined with colour changes to light source
