Product Description

Use Honl Color Correction filters to color correct your strobes for tungsten, fluorescent or cool daylight lighting environments. Use CTO filters to match your flash output to tungsten lights, or simply to give a pleasing warm tone to your portraits. Use Full + Green to match your flash output to fluorescent lights. These superior filters are pre-cut with velcro strips attached so they can be quickly fastened to a Speed Strap (sold separately). Honl Filters can be used in conjunction with Honl Snoots, Gobos and Grids. The usable filter area is 2.5" x 4" and can be trimmed to fit individual strobes

5.0 out of 5 stars A great solution for on-the-go pros, December 5, 2008

First of all - can you make this kit yourself fairly easily with some glue, velcro and Roscolux sheets? Yes, of course you can. Can you really do it for this price? I'm not so sure you can, particularly when you factor in how well-made these really are and how easy they can make you life on location when you only have a few minutes, maybe, to get the light right for your shot.

One reviewer said you can melt the gel - that's crazy. These are Roscolux gels and I've had Roscolux gels taped over the reflector dish of a 2000 watt light and never had problems. The idea that a small strobe, even at 1/1, could take a gel out is little nuts.

I'm a full-time shooter and I use small-strobe, off-camera flash quite a bit. In fact, one of my speedlights has a honl speed strap and 1/2 CTO gel on it ALL the time for lighting portraits.

I you want to tape and un-tape your gels all the time, go ahead and maybe you'll save five bucks - but I love having this set in a plastic bag in my bag ready to go at a moments notice.

5.0 out of 5 stars What you need, to balance ambient light color with flash, February 12, 2010

This has CTO (Color Temperature Orange) in full and partial shades, to make the flash the same color as incandescent bulbs (then set DSLR camera AWB to tungsten). Or, use the light green over the flash to match most florescent lights. Or, light blue for window lighting on cloudy days. The Velcro goes on and off easily. 2 of each gel color included (They don't last forever, Or to allow matching colors on 2 flashes).

Glad I bought these. You also need to put Velcro on your flash, to hold these gels on.

4.0 out of 5 stars one thing lacking, September 23, 2009

The one thing lacking in this product, is you can not attach multi filters at the same time. So if you need more of a color or want to mix colors for an effect you can not do it with this kit. All the filters are cut to the same size and there is no clearance to add a second filter. It is well made and has it uses in lighting. They are very quick and easy to use. I wish it had color correcting filters in the kit. You get two filters of the kits each colors, Red, yellow, green, and blue.
