How It Works

The iris diaphragm fits directly into the spotlight slot of the SNOOT-BM Spotlight Snoot. Once installed, rotating the adjustment handle changes the aperture diameter, allowing you to quickly alter the size of the projected light beam.

The diaphragm can be adjusted from a tightly focused 8mm opening for narrow spotlight effects through to a wider 60mm opening for broader light projection, providing flexibility for different creative lighting requirements.

For installation, insert the iris diaphragm into the spotlight slot with the flat side facing towards the photography light.

Why Choose This Product

Unlike fixed aperture inserts, the adjustable iris design allows rapid beam size adjustments without interrupting your workflow. This makes it easier to fine-tune lighting effects, create precise spotlight shapes, and adapt quickly to changing shooting requirements.

The manganese steel construction provides durability for regular professional use while maintaining smooth operation.
