    This filter frame holds gels for your Lowell Tota light. It does an okay job of doing this but is quite a bit awkward to work with. I had to fumble with this thing quite a bit before I was able to get it just right. Even then there was quite a bit of light that is wasted.

    Also, you cannot use an umbrella and this at the same time without a separate stand for the umbrella.

        Comments about Lowel Tota-Frame for 10x12" Gels:

        I had been struggling with how to mount gels in front of my lowell lights for some time, especially when they are in a soft box. These work great and collapse down to a small size that easily fits in my kit. You can buy the regular rosco gels and cut them into 4 panels that clip onto the front of the holder.
        I would buy them again.

                      This is a nice frame which also folds up very compactly. It can't be used at the same time as an umbrella FYI.

                        After years of clipping gels onto barndoors, now I prefer the clip them onto these Tota-frames. Then my gels don't get bent and damaged. They are also held a little farther from the hot light. I've used them on Lowel Omnis and Tota, so far. They come with built-in gel clips, but sometimes I use small metal binder clips, especially if my gels are not cut exactly right. For the price and the weight, these are worth it.

                          Instead of jerry rigging it and singeing your fingers and gels, just get this already!

                                        I'm equipment manger for a video production company and we own 6 of these. We've folded and opened them hundreds of times and one has yet to break--simple in designed, but very reliable. The only thing I would like to see is a tightening thumbscrew where the frame attaches to light to stabilize the gel/gobo a little better--minor point--

                                            What's to comment. It's meant to hold gels. It does.
