http://fstoppers.com/btsv-set-your-mode ... -photoshop What struck me about this video wasn't the fact that the final product was cool but the fact that they were using such a large sheet of gel just to change the color temperature for the einstein strobe itself. As an einstein owner, i'm wondering will there be any development to offer a tungsten pyrex glass dome in the future? I have used my einstein outdoors on numerous occasions and have always wanted a warming gel as the sun starts to set to prevent 2 different color temperatures in the final image. |

Last I heard, PCB thought it would be impractical to make a colored dome, just nobody who could do the tinting at reasonable cost and quality. Sure would be useful to have an easy gel solution for umbrellas & softboxes, though. Gel sheets can work, but they get trashed after 1-2 uses. I wonder if maybe one could use a tinted plastic dome, and mount it to a speedring, to keep it away from the heat. |

You could buy spare domes and they make a glass stain that stained glass folks use to paint on the glass it would be a trial and error thing but I bet you could get something to work. |

The only problem I see with a colored dome, is the dome does not completely seal the light from the flash tube. This means you will get 5600K light mixing with +/-3400K light. This makes a sickly color. The gel application in the video (which is very cool) is a bit...hastily engineered. Rob Galbraith has a similar set up, but applied in such a way that seems more durable. http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/imageR.asp?rim_id=3569 I have also seen where a "C" was cut from a gel, which then would wrap aorund the speedring cage. |
