Aputure demonstrated their new 300D Mark II, the design of which was largely made by the comments users have made online.
More of No Film School's coverage from the NAB showroom floor:
Featuring advanced optics and precision engineering, the Max60 and B60 are here to deliver a narrow beam angle and powerful, efficient parallel lighting. Compared with Beamlight Max90, the B60, and Max60 are lighter, weighing only 10 kg, making them lightweight enough for one person to carry and easy to set up.
Also, with tough protective housing and seamless integration with KNOWLED lights, including future models, they can enhance light control and efficient long-distance natural light replication. The B60 pairs with KNOWLED M600R and future Bowens-mount lights, while the Max60 is designed for G-mount fixtures, delivering focused, punchy beams on set.
Now, this DL5 Parallel Booster is designed for use with the S60Bi/D Focusing LED Light, the DL5 Parallel Booster is set to increase center light intensity to deliver a concentrated and powerful output that elevates your lighting setup. Its 5° narrow beam ensures focused, high-intensity lighting, while the premium glass lens improves light efficiency and reduces light loss for higher output and more even light distribution. The honeycomb design reduces stray light, and the light shield ring prevents leakage.
Parallel light sources take LED lighting to the next level by boosting throw distance and brightness, making them useful in even more scenarios. When combined with the LiteFlow mirror system, they make the most of every beam, problem-solving for tackling high-elevation setups or working in tight spaces. It’s a game-changer that redefines what LED lights can do on set.
Next, let’s look at the combination of high-power LED fixtures with BeamLight reflectors. The LiteFlow system offers an innovative solution for difficult setups. A single light positioned low can bounce its beam off a LiteFlow reflector to illuminate subjects even on the 30th floor—no need for cumbersome rigging. This setup not only simplifies logistics but also enhances on-set safety by reducing physical risks during high-elevation lighting installations.
Finally, for those in constrained shooting environments, this setup allows a single light source to be redirected several times to form multiple light points from just one fixture, minimizing the need for extra lights and modifiers. It empowers filmmakers to craft dynamic lighting designs even in the most limited spaces.
