NEO FRONTThe range of innovative on-camera LED lights from award winning British LED lighting manufacturer, Rotolight are now available to purchase from Color Confidence.

Rotolight NEO is a continuous lighting system with a unique ‘soft’ light output and signature ringlight effect, making it ideal for portrait, event and location photographers.

NEO is highly portable, easy to use and fast to set up. It offers tuneable colour temperature and brightness. NEO includes three ground-breaking features that set it apart in the market.

  • True Aperture Dimming™ calculates and displays F-stop for a subject at a given distance.
  • CineSFX™ provides a powerful collection of customisable cinematic lighting effects.
  • Designer Fade™ provides custom fade up/down production effects.

Delivering powerful performance in a compact package, this self-contained light can be a secret weapon in the studio or on location. NEO builds on Rotolight’s multi-award winning LED technology, which is used by leading broadcasters, filmmakers and professional photographers the world over.

Jason Lanier, an award winning photographer and Sony Artisan of Imagery recently said of the Rotolight NEO: “They are quite simply the most amazing, beautiful, versatile portable continuous lights I’ve ever used. I couldn’t recommend them more highly and think that anyone who shoots portraits, weddings, or fashion photography should own multiple sets.”

NEO can be powered by 6 AA batteries for up to 5 hours (or 3.5 hours at 100% power). It is available as a single or multi-light kit and includes a 10-piece location filter pack with diffusion, skin tone and creative FX filters.

Hailed as the “next industry standard” by the Guild of Television Cameraman, the Rotolight NEO is priced at £347.99 incl. VAT and is available to purchase through the Color Confidence web store.

Introducing Rotolight ANOVA PRO – the world’s first bi-colour continuous LED light with high-speed sync (HSS) flash

Leave a reply

Anova2Award winning LED lighting manufacturer, Rotolight have announced the launch of ANOVA PRO™ – the ultimate LED studio and location light.

Anova PRO is 43% brighter than its predecessors and now features several unique, industry-first features which save significant time and money, while enabling greater creativity for users. This includes a powerful High Speed Sync Flash (HSS) for use in a traditional photographic workflow. Anova PRO is the first continuous bi-colour LED light on the market to offer this feature.

Anova PRO FRONTIn flash mode, Anova PRO is able to produce 150% of the maximum continuous light output at any colour temperature, with zero recycle time. This is a major advantage over traditional strobe systems, thereby bridging the gap between strobe and continuous lighting, delivering the benefits of both without the disadvantages of either.

This feature also enables users to accurately see the shadows and highlights of a subject or shot. This makes it ideal for photographers looking to replace legacy strobe systems, or those who shoot a combination of photo and video, who currently have to purchase two separate products.

Anova PRO has five patented, industry-first features:

  • High Speed Sync Flash (HSS) provides a powerful HSS flash with zero recycle time for traditional photographic workflows
  • True Aperture Dimming™, which calculates and displays the F-stop at a given distance. This feature eliminates the need for light meters, saves time and eliminates the guess work associated with manually working out ISO and F-stop settings
  • CineSFX™ provides a powerful collection of customisable cinematic lighting effects
  • FX Slave™ enables the CineSFX™ effects to be ‘slaved’ to up to 512 third party light sources in real time with zero latency to create powerful lighting effects for large scale productions
  • Designer Fade™ provides custom fade up/down production effects.

The Anova PRO has already won two major industry awards and is receiving favourable reviews from industry experts.

Anova Pro’s Bi-Colour LED system with AccuColour™ LED Phosphor technology delivers exceptional colour rendering (CRI:96+), and a powerful output whilst using 94% less energy than a standard tungsten bulb.

Anova Pro is available as a bi colour model for maximum versatility, or as a fixed colour Daylight (5600K) model for maximum output, dependant on your workflow.

The Rotolight Anova Pro™ is priced at £1,439.99 incl. VAT RRP.
