My DIY Snoot for INON Z-240

[OcciferNick]

Hello everyone,

This is a work in progress but I think it's looking good so far.
Obviously I will be blackening the base plate to stop the light from the strobe and having it just coming through the fibre optic arms.





Will update with the progress.
Regards,

Here are some snoot project links I have found in other boards on-line from other people who have built their own fiber optic snoots and ring flashes.

I have the materials and am building my own double snoot but with 10mm single fiber optic cord. I have not found a good cover fit for my z240 strobe yet. I also want to build a so called "super soaker" just as the link describes to illuminate GPO deep down inside their dens or holes. It would be nice to do a micro snoot for critters hiding in beer bottles if that is possible as well.

Nick or JBB - How did your snoot projects turn out?

I'm getting ready to try a DIY myself...
