Apollo Superholder

[carsonld]

I am trying to put a apollo crushed dicohrics gobo in a apollo superholder, are they able to do this? If not what holder would be best?

I feel like I had to use something like THIS ONE at my last job when I used a dichroic gobo. I would put in a call (1-260-497-9191) or send them an email just to make sure.

Will any glass gobo holder work? Or does it have to go into the iris slot? I wont be using any other gobos with it.

The Apollo site says a superholder is for both glass and steel but i don't see any instructions you should give them a call

I don't think so because I believe the gobo itself is too think to actually fit in the usual gobo slot on a S4. You will likely have to use the iris slot.

It's been a couple years though, so I may be mistaken.

Hi gang,

The Apollo Superholder supports the use of metal, B/W, and full color gobos, so the Crushed Dichroic (if ordered in BR size) should fit without a hitch. This holder is used in the gobo slot or the iris slot, whichever suits your needs!

Carson, I've emailed a few questions this morning- please let me know how we can help figure this puzzle out!

Carson, I just went to the shop where we inventory the pattern holders after making them. The Superholder you're using should have a gobo capture ring with two different profiles, one side for steel, B/W glass and the other side for full color glass. Here is the stock image on the Apollo website- you can see the machined profile of the ring.
