Patterns, or gobos, are widely used by designers in theatre, film, photography and television to create atmosphere, project scenery, and generally enhance the visual impact of their lighting.

Conceived by some of the world's leading lighting designers, the Rosco range presently includes hundreds of standard steel gobo designs.

To insure design integrity the patterns are etched using a precise double-sided process on stainless steel. The result is durable, high quality patterns which will withstand the extreme heat at the gate of ellipsoidal spotlights.

Rosco steel gobos are round to allow for rotation in the gate when aligning the projected image.

The standard "B" size is suitable for most fixtures with a 6" lens when used with a Rosco Pattern Holder or the holders of other manufacturers.

Trimming of patterns, where necessary, can be easily accomplished with a pair of scissors.

Q: 9. What did you do to get this onto your camera? I struggled for almost an hour to attach one to my EOS R without success. I've installed round split rings on my cameras for years without any problems. I feel like an idiot! Thanks much.

A: The Ruggard Split D-Ring (Pair) are similar in design and usage to the round rings in everything but its shape. If you are having issues with connecting the Ruggard Split D-Ring (Pair) to your camera, you may try using a key or a screwdriver to slightly pry apart and create space between the tang on the ring. From there with the space created, you should be able to slide the ring's tang onto the strap lug on your camera. From there, you would remove the key/screwdriver and simply rotate the Ruggard Split D-Ring until the ring is fully connected to the camera's strap lug. (I use this same process to connect keys to my key ring, as some key rings are stiffer than others and may require you to pry an end apart to place your key on the ring; same principle applies here.)

Q: 10. Do these rattle like the Sony rings?
