Looking for an On Camera LED Light? Bi-Color Quickly Adjusts to Any Color Temp.

F&V-lighting-z180s-bi-color-led-light-panel-on-camera-affordable-cheap
Need more light?  The Z180S is modular.  Just simply snap another one along side or on top!

F&V Lighting Z180S Bi-Color LED Light Panel On Camera

The
Z180S is an affordable On Camera LED that allows for dialing in the
exact color temperature by mixing Daylight and Tungsten LEDs. Shooting
on location requires flexibilty and quick action… the Z180S fits the
bill.

The Z180S Bi-color LED Light Panel features 90
daylight-balanced LEDS and 90 tungsten-balanced LEDs that deliver a
bright, yet soft beam of 1380lx light output. This light comes with two
(2) magnetic filters: one (1) tungsten filter and one (1) diffusion
filter.

The Z180S has both a designated intensity dimmer knob and
a designated CCT knob. Control the color temperature of this light by
turning the CCT knob to the left or right. The color temperature of the
light will transition smoothly from tungsten to daylight balanced light.
The intensity dimmer knob controls the intensity of the light from
0-100%.

This light has several powering options. It can be
powered by its built-in Sony NP-F battery plate, by its built in battery
compartment with six (6) AA-batteries, or by an external power source
via its DCΦ2.5 jack.

Multiple Z180S units can be linked together
via its Expandable Link System, a mortis and tenon attachment system.
The lights can mount both horizontally and vertically to one another.
This linking system makes it easier to transport your lights and is a
perfect solution for projects on-location, where carrying large sized
lights becomes impractical. When the lights are linked together, the
SmartSync Control Circuit allows you to control the intensity of all
lights with only one of the light’s dimmer knobs. When the knob of the
parent-light is adjusted, all connected lights match the intensity of
the parent-light. The SmartSync Control Circuit also works with the
color temperature of the light. Link multiple bi-color units together,
and the parent-light will control color temperature of all lights.

The
versatility of this light will make it a necessity to have in your
lighting kit. This light is compact in size allowing for it to fit into
small areas, yet with its Expandable Link System, this light can be both
big and small.

Features

  • Bi-color: Variable from 3200K to 5600K
  • Illuminance: 1380 lx
  • Multiple Power Options
  • Dimmable: 0-100%
  • Expandable Link System
  • SmartSync Control Circuit

Times Running Out…Free Shipping on Matthews Grip C-Stand 40″ 756040

Free-shipping-matthews-c-stand-grip-stage-studio-film-video-photo-lighting

Just $164.88

A sliding leg or "stair leg" c-stand makes it easy to set a grip stand
on stairs or uneven ground. Keep your stand vertical by simply sliding
the one leg that moves to the correct level. Always use a sandbag or
shotbag to secure your stand.

Century Stands or "C" stands
are an important component in the image maker's arsenal of tools. The
term "Century Stand" goes back to the early days of motion picture
production. Before the introduction of artificial lighting, the stages
would revolve to allow for continuous overhead lighting from the sun.
Large reflectors would be positioned to bounce back or kick the overhead
light up onto the stage and illuminate the set and actors. These
reflectors were made in many sizes, but it seems the most popular was
the 100 inch or "Century" sized reflector. In later years, studios,
grips and gaffers began to manufacture the earliest versions of what we
now call C Stands. The original C Stands had welded bases that did not
fold up or adjust, but the fact that they easily nested together made
them invaluable on stages and sets. In 1974 Matthews Studio Equipment
introduced the industry's first adjustable C Stand. C Stand is a
registered trademark of Matthews Studio Equipment. Matthews now
produces a wide range of C Stands and related accessories to assist the
motion picture, television and photographic professional in lighting and
lighting modification support.

Dimensions:

Footprint: 27.5"/699mm

Weight: 17lbs

Min/Max Height: 53"/126.5", 1346mm/3213mm (w/o griphead & arm)
