Did we mention you can control the entire thing from your smartphone for no additional charge?

The most convenient hairlight ever. LED bi-color, adjustable beam angle and 33K lux. It’s small but mighty. Great for when you need that extra kick in an interview setup.
These battery or AC-powered LED E26 bulbs offer every color in the RGB rainbow, a full temperature range from 2,000-10,000K and tons of preset lighting effects. Screw them into an actual lamp socket to use as a practical, or string them in a row or an eye-catching set piece. Available individually or as a kit. Sidus Link-capable.
The MC 4-light kit is nifty battery-powered LED light kit that can be used on-camera or anywhere you can’t fit a larger light, such as the instrument cluster of a car, or in a small photography lightbox. Our favorite use case so far was when a client used them to light the inside of an (inactive) oven. Mounts via ½-20 or magnetic rear plate. Control one or all of them via the free Sidus Link app for iOS and Android.
We wanted to develop an all-in-one, travel-ready grip kit that can easily fit into a car or checked as luggage. We knew we had to fit it all into a single case, with everything you need and nothing you don’t. The new UltraLite Grip Kit Inlcudes:
- 4x Lightweight Baby Stands
- 4x 2.5 Grip Heads
- ROAD Rag Kit
- 4x Water Saddlebags
- 3x 25’ and 1 15’ stingers
- 48” Lasolite Folding Bounce
- 2’x2’ Expendable Diffusion Bag
- 4x Safety Cables
- 4x 2’ A-Clamps
- 4×4 Duvetyne
That’s everything for now, but more is always in the pipeline! Consider yourself formally invited to come and try any or all of the new gear! We’re here to provide insights and answer any questions you may have to ensure your next shoot is a success.
See you around!
