As a photographer and videographer who's always hunting for new ways to control and shape light on set, the Flyrivergo Bowens Mount Optical Snoot is now officially my favorite lighting toy/tool. It’s like a Swiss Army knife for creative lighting—but with magnets, gels, and gobos instead of toothpicks and scissors.Right out of the box, this thing screams versatility. Between the magnetic gobo holders (a dream for mid-shoot swaps), the included 25 pattern gobos, color gels, barndoors, and adjustable focus ring, I’ve been able to pull off everything from ultra-precise portrait highlights to wild, layered background textures. Want to create a subtle window-shaped beam on your subject’s face? Done. A moody swirl of colored light for your next music video? Absolutely.The optical lens is no joke either—it gives a clean, circular beam with sharp edges and zero spill. The build feels solid but not heavy (just 3lbs), and the included carrying case means I’m not awkwardly lugging around a clunky modifier like I used to with other snoots.It mounts effortlessly to my lights—just make sure to double-check compatibility if you're using something off the beaten path. (Bonus points to the brand for being upfront about this and offering pre-purchase support.)A few notes for real-world use:That focus control ring? Game-changer. I use it constantly to tweak edge softness on the fly.The barndoors give me more control than I expected—super helpful for video work.Yes, it gets hot with prolonged use, so don’t try to cuddle it mid-shoot.Honestly, I wasn't expecting this level of control and creative potential from a modifier at this price point. If you like playing with light like it’s paint on a canvas, this snoot belongs in your kit. Just be warned: once you start stacking gobos and gels, you might lose hours "testing" new looks (ask me how I know).10/10 would recommend—this thing turns your light into a storytelling weapon.

I do a lot of tabletop photography, and this was the perfect addition to my light. This has a 100mm barrow adapter to fit most any led lights. The kit includes shutters and gel filters to give you hundreds of shade combinations. The barn door sliders are easy to use, and the focus control is smooth and easy to reach. The whole kit comes in a nice, padded bag and has plenty of room to add a few more nick-nack's. This is a very professional kit. I've been very impressed with the quality. Highly Recommended!

This optical snoot has a decent build quality and actually has a bit of weight to it. I like how precise the focus is, though the adjustment is not very smooth. The gobos come in a nice sleeved pouch that makes it easy to flip through them. The color gels are the thin flexible type and not solid plastic so you have to be careful not to crease them. One thing that I didn't like was that the shutter blades do not have a sharp edge when you have the gobo in focus. So while they are good for limiting where the light goes, they may not have the effect you want. There is some light spill from the side, but it is not too bad. Overall, this projector meets my needs.

This is one of those "I wish I had one sooner" purchases. Having a snoot that can manually shape the light or take two of the supplied gobos, really helps change up your video or photography lighting scene. Although it is a bit heavy and delicate when putting it together, once assembled it was rock solid and I never worried about it falling over or coming apart.The weight on this snoot will definitely put serious weight on whatever Bowens mount you connect it to, so make sure that mount is solid and sturdy. In my case, I put it on a Neewer 120W COB light and the output was great. Being able to change the focus on the gobos really allowed for some flexibility on the patterns it put out.Using the included gels was a bit of an exercise in patience. The screw end that holds the gel in place along with the circular cut of the gels makes them pretty easy to bend, fall out, or crush while threading on. I'll likely go with my own external gel sheets that I can clip on to some other modifier when I want to gel something.

Bowens Mount Optical Snoot Conical, Spotlight Snoot Photography, Projector Attachment Kit with 4 Barndoor Shutter Blades for Photography Studio, Video, Artist Modelling Shape Lightget this if you have a genuine need for it, dont get it to try to create a need for it. i mean its cool, can get nice crisp detail on the included cutouts, but they are pretty limited. i thought i could make my own inserts with my laser but they are metal and that is probably because paper or cardboard of vinyl would probably combust. so thats a bummer. on the one hand it has alot it can do, on the other its really pretty limited. i guess i was thinking i could have my own bat signal sort of thing, but its not really for that. as i said, have a genuine need and this will fill it, dont get it to create the need. weird. it fits a standard bowens mount but is kind of heavy and cumbersome, so your light fixture better have a solid clamping system. also, a wider tripod as this is heavy and sticks out a ways. the biggest complaint other than not really having a true purpose for it, is there are not lens caps. it comes with a nice little bag, and there are foam inserts and plastic protective baggies, but this really is like a camera lens and should have dedicated lens caps, there are none. there are many inserts but their kind of specialized. it would be great if you could make your own but maybe that is part of the plan. i dont know, its pretty cool but i feel like it has such a specialized use case that i will probably never need to use it. maybe once or twice a year for a very specific shot or something.
