Product Information

Full details

The Westcott Optical Spot by Lindsay Adler Patterns Gobo Pack is an essential creative tool for professional photographers and videographers looking to add depth and texture to their lighting setups. Designed specifically for the Westcott Optical Spot, this collection of ten unique metal gobos allows users to project intricate patterns onto subjects or backgrounds for dramatic, artistic results. While these discs are highly durable and offer precise control, they require the use of a compatible Optical Spot modifier and are best utilized with lights having at least 100W of power to ensure sufficient brightness and projection clarity.

FAQs

Can I use these gobos with other brands of optical spots?

These are sized at 2.6 inches specifically for the Westcott system; they may fit other units if the slot size matches, but compatibility is only guaranteed with Westcott products.

Do I need a specific lens for the Optical Spot?

The patterns are designed to work with the lens included with your Westcott Optical Spot. The sharpness will depend on the optical quality of that specific lens.

Can I combine multiple gobos at once?

The Optical Spot slot is designed for a single gobo disc to maintain optical clarity and focus.

Are these gobos heat resistant?

Yes, they are made from durable metal capable of handling the heat generated by standard 100W LED and flash sources.

How do I create a color projection with these?

Simply insert a color gel into the filter holder of the Optical Spot along with your chosen gobo disc.

Troubleshooting

The projected pattern appears blurry.

Adjust the focus barrel on your Optical Spot modifier until the edges of the metal cutout become sharp.

The projection is too dim.

Ensure your light source is at least 100W and check that the Optical Spot's internal leaves are not obstructing the beam path.

Pattern is distorted or angled incorrectly.

Rotate the gobo inside the slot or adjust the positioning of the light stand to align the pattern's geometry with your subject.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, durable metal construction for long-term use
  • Extensive variety of patterns for creative flexibility
  • Easy to swap gobos during active shooting sessions
  • Compatible with both continuous LED lights and flash heads
  • Allows for precise edge control when combined with optical spot leaves

Cons

  • Requires purchase of the Westcott Optical Spot modifier
  • Minimum 100W light source recommended for sharp, visible projections
  • Learning curve involved in focusing and blending patterns effectively

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use these gobos, simply slide the chosen 2.6-inch disc into the designated slot on your Westcott Optical Spot. For optimal sharpness, focus the lens on the Optical Spot until the pattern edges appear crisp on your projection surface.

Compatibility: This set is designed for the Westcott Optical Spot. While it works with most lights, it is recommended to use a light source with at least 100W to overcome the light loss inherent in projection modifiers.

Care: Handle the metal discs by the edges to prevent skin oils from affecting the finish. Store them in a dry, dust-free case or the original packaging to prevent scratching. If they become dirty, wipe gently with a lint-free cloth.
