MillimeterVFGadgets.com Launches lenslite LED System
Feb 6, 2006 5:19 PM
The lenslite 6000K white light source is a versatile, lightweight, and portable LED ringlight system providing all the benefits of solid-state illumination for drama, documentary, and ENG cinematographers. lenslite is developed by Gekko Technology in the UK, the makers of kisslite, which launched in 2004.
The new lenslite is the perfect tool for serious operators of HDV and the smaller generation of film and video cameras, providing a lightweight and balanced, controllable beauty light source or fill, combined with an integral filter tray housing. The onboard dimmer puts the operator in control, as ambient lighting conditions change. The lenslite ringlight unit clamps onto lightweight 15mm bars mounted to a camera base unit, designed and balanced for the Sony Z1 and other smaller HDV cameras. The standard clamp ring is 110mm and step down rings are available for most fixed barrel internal focus lenses from 105mm down to 77mm.
lenslite is powered by a small, lightweight, dedicated power supply that accepts power from any 12 volt-24 volt film or video battery. The power supply unit provides flicker free power and allows individual switching of four-quarter-sub- sets, top, bottom, left and right and dimming from 100% to 5% without altering color temperature. The power supply features instant start, at preset dim level, at full color temperature.
Also available is a D.C. power outlet, which can be used to power the camera, allowing one battery or main power source to run both light and camera simultaneously. The integral filter tray housing holds filter trays for both 4” and 4” x 5.65” filters with one rotating and one fixed stage. A top chop French flag is also available.
