The Backscatter Macro Wide 4300 Video Light has a spot beam designed specifically for the macro video shooter.

Aiming a snoot took lots of practice. We designed the Mini Flash and Optical Snoot together with the purpose of making shooting with a snoot as easy as possible. With bright LED lights that project the same beam pattern as the flash through the snoot, you can easily see the exact placement of the snoot beam on your subject when framing a shot and know you are hitting your target. Have a critter that doesn’t like a constant light on all the time? Use our short duration modeling flash to check your snoot placement without continuously disturbing a light sensitive critter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Optical Snoot OS-1 is easy to mount, with a simple click on\/click off.

The Backscatter Mini Flash 2, Mini Flash 1, and Optical Snoot OS-1 combination were designed together to allow the most efficient transfer of light through the snoot optics. The result is an exposure that is brighter than any other snoot on the market and will help you make the darkest backgrounds. When projecting a 6mm hole, a shot can be done at ISO 64, ƒ32 which is a perfect setting to get inky black backgrounds and perfect light on the subject.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backscatter.com\/images\/article\/content\/Mini-Flash-1\/Backscatter_Mini_Flash_MF-1_Jim_Decker_snoot_06.jpg\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Backscatter Mini Flash 2, Mini Flash 1, and Optical Snoot OS-1 combination has a brighter output when compared to other snoot\/strobe combinations on the market.

Shoot a sharply focused light beam or pull back a little for a softer edge. Shoot a projected beam as small as 6mm. The full range of aperture cards will let you shoot an ultra-tiny subject to even a large fish portrait. When shooting the snoot at an angle to the subject with the oval aperture card, the snoot can be rotated to change the shape of the projected beam from an elongated oval to a circle.
