Other Meanings
The derivation "Go-between" is from motion picture production, where gobo is an antiquated term for a what is now called a "flag". Flags are manufactured in a variety of sizes and shapes, are most commonly made of opaque black fabric stretched over a steel frame, but flags can also be made of sheet steel or wood for specialised use. Shaped flags are placed in the beam of a light source in order to create shadows, this type of flag is commonly known as a Gobo.
The support system used to position and hold these flags in the light beam has, as its core component a fully rotatable, adjustable clamp called a gobo head. Gobo heads are mounted at the top of C-Stands and on the ends of 30" long aluminum bars, called Gobo arms or Grip arms.
Gobos are sometimes, incorrectly, known as "Bogos."
