Leofresnel, weighing 4.5kg and 14kg respectively, can be easily transported and installed in challenging conditions. Additionally, they are the first fresnel lights in the market with built-in batteries, providing two to three hours of maximum brightness runtime. For locations with limited power access, the lights can be combined with Astera’s Runtime Extender and Seamless Runtime technology for greater usage duration. With a range of mounting options, including a quick-release Yokebase, removable handle and airline track mounting, lighting professionals have complete creative control. astera-led.com APUTURE Aputure announced four new products on day two: the Electro Storm CS15 is a 1500W high-output full-colour point-source LED fixture with ultra- high colour quality for professionals – featuring dual accessory mounts, professional connectivity methods, high SSI colour quality and an IP65 dust- and water-resistant construction. Meanwhile, the Electro Storm XT26 is a 2600W high-output point-source LED fixture with dynamic white CCT and tint control designed for professionals – featuring dual accessory mounts, professional connectivity methods, G/M tint control, advanced liquid- cooling and an IP65 dust- and water- resistant construction. In addition, the Aputure F14 fresnel is an electronic A-Mount fresnel modifier with a large 14in (350mm) diameter lens and a motorised 18° to 45° spot-flood beam
angle range. Finally, the Spotlight Max is a projection lens modifier designed for advanced control on high-output Bowens-mount point-source fixtures. From the LS 600d Pro and LS 1200d Pro to the Electro Storm CS15 and Electro Storm XT26, it transforms them into powerful spotlights with a further reach and shapeable output. Available in 20°, 35° and 50° options, the Spotlight Max covers a range of light projection needs. aputure.com BEBOB Munich-based battery manufacturer Bebob introduced a new B-Mount to 24v V-Mount adapter for the Red V-Raptor XL. The B2V-Raptor-XL is plugged onto the camera’s V-Mount connector and converts its power supply to the high- voltage B-Mount system with 24v. This way, all 24v accessory outputs of the Red V-Raptor XL can be used with full power. Also on display was the Coco-Venice adapter - a power supply with on-board batteries for the complete camera system. It is attached directly to the Sony Venice 1 or 2, respectively to the associated AXS-R7 recorder. bebob.de CMOTION The Mainstation MST1 is the most advanced and first high-power, ultra- compact solution for film sets. As we move on to bigger sensors, brighter lights and more demanding camera movements, the power demand also increases accordingly. The first ultra-
compact, high-power device of its kind takes any commonly used power source on-set and provides all required output ranges simultaneously, up to 1000W. It is also a three-bay simultaneous charger for industry-standard batteries. Extensive internal engineering, monitoring, protection features and control enable a carefree user experience where any usual DC power source can be connected in any order. The device will automatically choose the best configuration to safely power connected equipment over regulated outputs. Five independent inputs, six always-on high- power outputs – and a three-bay charger in the smallest form the industry has ever seen. cmotion.eu CORE SWX SmallHD Brackets are for production monitors – sliding onto the rear rail system and connecting internally via an integrated connector, so it’s cableless. You can power the monitors from one battery or two Helix battery packs (V/G/B). It will also work with 14v, but only the smaller monitors within the range work off low voltage. The new Mach4 dual chargers offer a dual compact solution for a 4A simultaneous charge of two 98Wh packs in one hour 40 minutes. Fleet Mini chargers are quad chargers that are the same size as dual chargers, offering a 3A charge current for four 98Wh packs in 2.5 hours. They fit four Neo, Nano Micro or Helix Max 98/150 units. If a larger capacity is needed (275 or 360), you can fit two; one on each side. The Alpha power supply is a 50W, 38v power supply with two three-pin XLR for high-voltage devices. coreswx.com CREAMSOURCE Creamsource demonstrated its best lighting solutions, including the flagship Vortex Series, SpaceX and Micro fixtures. On the LCA stand, you could see the new Vortex8 yokes. These innovative frames for the Vortex8 are foldable and robust with a choice of a double or triple yoke. To go bigger with multiple Vortexes, on display was a blindingly impressive array of Vortex8 lights rigged together by the new LNX Mounting System. creamsource.com
