Product Information

Full details

This Neewer Conical Snoot Kit is designed for photographers and videographers who need to precisely control and shape light for dramatic effects, particularly for product photography. Its primary benefit is the ability to concentrate light into a small, focused beam, ideal for highlighting specific details or creating spotlight effects. A potential caveat is that it requires a compatible Bowens mount strobe or monolight to function.

FAQs

What type of lights is this snoot compatible with?

This snoot is compatible with studio strobes and monolights that feature a Bowens S-type mount.

How do I create different colored lights?

You can create different colored lights by inserting the included gel filters (transparent, red, green, blue, yellow) into the designated slot on the snoot.

What is the purpose of the honeycomb grid?

The honeycomb grid helps to control the direction of the light, narrowing the beam and reducing light spill onto the background or unwanted areas.

Can I use this snoot with speedlights or non-Bowens mount lights?

No, this specific conical snoot requires a Bowens mount. Adapters might exist for other mounts, but they are not included with this kit and may affect performance.

How do I clean the snoot and its accessories?

The aluminum alloy body can be wiped with a dry cloth. Use a soft brush for the honeycomb grid and handle gel filters gently with a slightly damp cloth if necessary, ensuring they are dry before use.

Is the light beam very narrow?

Yes, the conical design concentrates light into a tight beam, creating a spotlight effect. The narrowness can be further refined with the honeycomb grid.

Troubleshooting

Snoot won't attach securely

Ensure the Bowens mount on your light and the snoot are clean and free of debris. Verify you are properly aligning and twisting the snoot to engage the locking mechanism.

Light spill is still present

Make sure the honeycomb grid is correctly inserted into the snoot. Check that the snoot is fully attached to the light modifier mount and that no gaps are present.

Gel filters are not staying in place

Confirm the gel filter is the correct size for the slot and is inserted fully. Some gels may require gentle manipulation to sit flush.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively concentrates light for selective illumination.
  • Honeycomb grid allows for directional control and minimized light spill.
  • Color gels offer versatility for creative lighting setups.
  • Robust aluminum alloy build suggests durability.
  • Wide compatibility with Bowens mount lighting.

Cons

  • Requires a compatible studio strobe or monolight with a Bowens mount.
  • May add significant weight to the light modifier setup.
  • Intense concentration of light can generate heat, requiring caution.
  • Color gels are small and may require careful handling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure your studio strobe or monolight is turned off and cool before attaching any modifiers. Align the Bowens mount on the snoot with the mount on your light. Twist the snoot to lock it securely in place. The honeycomb grid can be slotted into place within the snoot, and gel filters can be inserted into the designated slot, typically near the front of the snoot.

Compatibility: This kit is designed for lighting equipment featuring the Bowens S-type mount. Verify that your strobe or monolight has this specific mount before purchasing.

Care: Clean the aluminum alloy body with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For the honeycomb grid and gel filters, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth, ensuring they are completely dry before storage to prevent damage or mold.
