ARRI Orbiter Beam optic with optimum brightness for long-throw functions

ARRI has launched a brand new Orbiter Beam optic that was designed to particularly create optimum brightness for long-throw functions. Basically the Obiter Beam turns the Orbiter right into a parallel beam mild that can be utilized both for lengthy throw distances or if that you must not directly bounce a lightweight supply.

Regardless of the Orbiter being round for fairly just a few years now, the Orbiter Beam is definitely the very first beam optic within the ARRI LED lighting portfolio. It’s a new optical idea that was developed particularly for this reflector. The Orbiter Beam’s depth stage has a comparable output to the ARRI Daylight M-Collection M18 inside a tighter beam angle. For the primary time, these excessive depth values may be achieved with a high-quality full-color spectrum LED supply. Based on ARRI, this makes the Orbiter Beam the brightest full-color LED spot mild available on the market.

This new Orbiter optic offers an outlined and powerful 4° parallel mild beam with homogenous mild. The Orbiter Beam optic is a perfect possibility for creating the phantasm of distant pure lights. The distinctive and genuine look of this optic together with the versatile Orbiter fixture makes it a go-to selection for filmmakers when simulating the pure mild of the solar or moon in movie tasks. It additionally turns into an incredible possibility to be used with reflector panels just like the Gentle Bridge CRLS system.

The Orbiter Beam options a big aperture in a compact (approx. 573 mm x 548 mm x 548 mm / 22.6 in x 21.6 in x 21.6 in) and light-weight (5.9 kg / 13 lbs.) housing. The reflector’s diameter of 530 mm (20.9 in) is analogous in dimension to the M90 luminaire.

The Orbiter Beam contains a singular handbook hot-spot adjustment permitting variation from onerous to tender edge mild. The beam is a superb addition to the already present Orbiter Open Face optics 15°, 30°, and 60°. No extra equipment for the Orbiter Beam optic equivalent to barndoors or snoots are required as the sunshine beam produced is already properly targeted.

Orbiter’s Fast Lighting Mount (QLM) system permits the Orbiter Beam to be mounted safely and rapidly. Any Orbiter operating the firmware LiOS2 or later is ready to function the Orbiter Beam.

Worth & Availability

The Orbiter Beam is on the market in black and might already be preordered for $1,060 USD.
