    Basic Preparation Steps:

    1. Insert the gobo with the mirrored side facing the LED lamp by reversing the image when placing the gobo in the gobo holder. If the gobo is metal, insert the gobo reversed to project with the correct orientation, please follow the user manual



    2. Make sure your projector is as perpendicular to the projection surface as possible to prevent keystone distortion of your projection.



    3. Use your lens to focus your projection by loosening or tightening the lens until the projection is in focus, your focal point will depend on your gobo, your projector, your distance to your projection surface, and your lens choice.



    4. Once you have the gobo focused you may use the rotator to rotate your projection to the desired orientation or leave it on for a clockwise rotation of your projection.



    5. Your gobo projector and gobo are ready for use.
