O wning one piece of kit that’s capable of everything is a on what matters most – the perfect shot. Alas, there will likely never come a day when we don’t have to individually dial in camera settings, mic our scene for quality audio, lay track, or balance a gimbal for movement.

We’ve been able to achieve every look we hoped and nuance of colour that we wanted,” says Baker. There’s also an extensive host of easily manageable internal features, as the Titan X1 is designed with a number of quick-start icons and 50 presets. Deeper interface comes by way of a full-colour touchscreen panel, so exact requirements can be tested and set easily.
Finally, there’s connectivity. On shoots of varied scales, there’s bound to be different technology available. The Colour Room gaffer Howard Davidson controlled the lighting and colours remotely via his iPad, and confessed he was impressed with the CRMX and had no issues communicating fromhis transmitter to the light unit. “Titans punch above their weight. They are a lot better and brighter than other lights I have worked with.” We do need near limitless creative potential – professionally crafted, easily accessible and reliable. If any light delivers that, it’s a Rotolight.
