Portable LED Lighting has seen a revolution by way of the the Rotolight NEO. Lauded by industry professionals for its feature rich design and excellent color and power outputs, the NEO’s Bi-Color LED system with AccuColour ™ delivers exceptional color rendering (>CRI:95+), and fast, tunable color on location thanks to the accurate color temperature display (CCT).It wasn’t so long ago that photographers were forced to carry the burden of battery belts, but the NEO is powered by 6 AA , AC , DC or D-Tap. NEO gives Industry leading performance (1077 Lux at 3 feet) whilst providing a gorgeous soft light source and Rotolight’s signature ‘Ring-Light’ Effect. Dual Controls for both dimming and color make NEO a highly versatile solution for run-and-gun news shooters, filmmakers or still photographers. NEO is made in the UK at Pinewood Film Studios, the home of James Bond.
NEO also features some amazing unique features which will appeal to most any shooter:
Designer Fade ™ mode forcustom fade up / fade down production effects . This a great advantage for DSLR camera users because these cameras usually do not have auto-fade buttons the way a broadcast video camera would. This neat feature will allow DSLR cinematographers to seamlessly transition between scenes.
True Aperture Dimming™ which accurately calculates the correct aperture (F-Stop) for your subject at a given distance. Gone are the days of metering every shot, saving the photographer valuable time. By telling NEO distance to subject and ISO, and chosen shutter speed, NEO will automatically display the correct f stop value for these set parameters, based by the chosen brightness level. If distance, shutter speed, or brightness level is changed, NEO will recalculate the correct f stop based on these new parameters, and also emit light sufficient to shoot with the new parameters.
Finally,an arsenal of Cinematographic Special FX (CineSFX™),provides customizablecreative visual lighting effects, on set or location (Strobe, Lightning, Fire, Cycle, Throb). By entering into the SFX Mode, an entire submenu is displayed, allowing the photographer to choose from an array of special effects. In all modes of operation, the user has complete control of brightness, and color temperature as well. Different rates of modulation for the chosen mode are displayed in Hz.
Delivering powerful performance in a compact package, NEO™ can be a secret weapon wherever a key light, fill, extra kick or catch-light is needed.
For photographers in need of a multi-light setup, such as wedding photographers, TV News Teams, Portrait Shooters, in fact, anyone who needs more than a single light, the Neo also comes in a 3 light kit. Using one Neo as a main, on camera light, and utilizing the two additional lights provides a multitude of lighting configurations. Background lighting, hair or fill lighting, illumination of hard to reach areas can all be achieved by using a Neo 3 Light Kit.
Again, it’s hard to match the Neo’s portability and power. Available as a single or 3 light kit, Neo includes a belt pouch, power supply and 4 piece Filter Pack including Diffusion, Skin Tone and Magenta. Starting at just $399.
