Lighting professionals can go bold by lighting with any color in the 360 color wheel and popular gels within Geminis color modes. The versatile Geminis ballast-free, lightweight design allows the light to be rigged more easily, requiring less cabling because the power supply is built-in. Users can operate every function of Gemini thanks to its intuitive on-board controls and user interface with multiple control options. Optional wireless modules enable users to control Gemini remotely through wireless DMX or with Bluetooth and the Litepanels Smartlite Director app. Gemini features a complete lineup of accessories including light shaping, diffusion, and more.
Litepanels:
Astra Litepanels next-generation Astra family of LED panels continues to build on the quality and popularity of the original 1x1 panel. The new Astra 3X and 6X - available in both Daylight or Bi-Color models - feature a 50 percent increase in output, making them three and six times brighter than the original Astra. The Astra Bi-Focus Daylight, the newest addition to the popular Astra family, gives users the ability to adjust from a 48 flood to a 15 concentrated quality of light with the turn of a dial. Astras high-performance LEDs and optics provide professional lighting designers with accurate color temperatures, high CRI/TLCI color rendering, and beautiful light quality. Its modular design features optional DMX and Bluetooth communication modules, along with V-Mount or Gold Mount battery plates for mobile power when AC power is not available.
Sola
Litepanels daylight-balanced Sola 4 and Sola 6 LED fresnels feature all the benefits of todays LED technology with the light-shaping, single-shadow properties of a traditional fresnel. The Sola 6 was named 2017 Moviemakers Gear of the Year Award Winner and is now 50 percent brighter than the previous version, while the Sola 4 is now more than 120 percent brighter than its predecessor. The Sola LED range provides cool daylight illumination with the unique ability to control both focus and intensity.
Both the Astra and Sola series are ideal complements to the Gemini panels, adding functionality and versatility to an overall lighting design while maintaining exceptional color quality. Like all Litepanels LED lighting, the Sola and Astra families are flicker-free regardless of frame rate, shutter angle, or intensity level. Easy to set up, the Sola and Astra lights can be powered via professional camera batteries for quick, mobile lighting setups.
Sachtler and Vinten: flowtech 75 flowtech 75 is a revolutionary new tripod that simplifies and accelerates camera operators workflows with instant and easy setup, versatile height range, and exceptional torsional stiffness. Compatible with all major 75 mm fluid heads, flowtech 75 tripods offer a set of two-stage, carbon-fiber legs with an easy-to-remove midlevel spreader, rubber feet, and a payload capacity of 20 kilograms (44 pounds). Unique quick-release brakes at the top of the tripod make it possible to deploy all legs simultaneously and adjust them to the grounds surface automatically, eliminating the need for operators to bend over or manually adjust multiple brakes on each leg. flowtech launched in September 2017, winning three coveted industry awards at IBC.
Vinten: Vantage and VRC Controller
Vintens Vantage is a compact and lightweight robotic camera head that offers unmatched flexibility and broadcast-quality movement and control at the same price point as a traditional pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera head. Vantage enables customers to choose the camera and lens that meet their requirements, and it supports a wide range of pro-video camcorders from a variety of manufacturers including Canon and Sony, as well as both full-servo and manual lens types.
As the first controller of its kind, the VRC is the perfect complement to the Vantage, giving the camera head even greater versatility and flexibility for enterprise video capture. The VRC controller allows studios and venues of any size to control high-end robotics and third-party PTZs. When paired with the Vantage, the VRC offers a complete robotic broadcast production solution.
