ROTATING FRAME AND INSTALL FILTER：Designed with a rotating frame, the filter can be rotated normally to adjust the effect after being installed on the lens. The lens hood and lens cover can be installed normally after the filter is installed.

Diffusion Level: 1/4 density (the most popular one)

Diffuses light sources to create a soft glowing effect around highlights

Reduces overall contrast and increases halation (especially in the shadows)

Complex and Bold Effects For Bowens Lights: Adds highly creative light-shaping effects to lights that have the widely popular Bowens mount including the Nanlite FS Series and the larger Forza monolights, the versatile abilities this projector provides for creating shapes, patterns, and shafts of light are unmatched.

Bright, Accurate, and Precise Optics: The PJ-BM dramatically increases the output of the attached light, for example, the Forza 500 is over 964% brighter when the 19° lens is used; the light quality is accurate and precise due to the non-curved lenses that eliminate aberration and minimize distortion, and an optical coating that improves transmittance and color temperature accuracy.

Vast Compatibility, Ultimate Creativity: The Nanlite PJ-BM can be used with an enormous number of lights from other manufacturers, as well as the Forza 200, 300, 300B, 500, and the FS-150, FS-200, and FS-300; It adds an exciting array of creative light-shaping tools such as internal shutters, a focusable lens, gel inserts, gobos, and a separately available adjustable iris.
