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: 1. How many entries per roll does this book have? I have ordered these two separate times, and one set of books has 14/15 entries per roll, and the other set has 8 entries per roll.

Q: 5. Is there a stand that will hold this, rather than a huge C stand?

A: For the Manfrotto Frame for Skylite Frame-Panel Reflector - Medium - 42x78", you would want to have at least one — but preferably two — sandbagged C-stands. I would not recommend a lighter stand for a large frame. As an alternative, a heavy-duty steel stand such as the Matthews Maxi Kit Steel Stand (9.5'), B&H # MALSMKZ, or the Impact Folding Wheeled Base Stand (Black/Chrome-plated, 8.5'), B&H # IMLSPSFB8, may also work, but a lightweight aluminum general purpose stand would not be my recommendation for your intended usage needs.
