Cameras may get smaller. But
available light doesn't change. When light comes from above
it creates unwanted shadows that are accentuated in a video
picture
- regardless of the camera's low light efficiency. An on camera
light is an essential tool for professional interview video.
Anton/Bauer's UltraLight is the
choice for on-camera lighting on more cameras around the world
than any other ENG light. But to use an Ultralight with a handheld
camera it is necessary to either up-convert the voltage of a small
consumer battery to 12 volts or to down-convert the standard 14
volt battery voltage to 6 volts for the camera. Or else you have
to carry extra batteries just to run the light. And 6-volt
consumer lights simply aren't designed for serious professional
use.
ElightZ is the first professional
on-camera light designed specifically for handheld cameras.
Operating at 6 volts, the same as the camera, ElightZ shares power
with the ElipZ 10k battery through its exclusive Powerplug
connector. Constructed of lightweight and durable high temperature
polycarbonate, the two-stage hinged boom arms of the ElightZ offer
a virtually unlimited range of adjustability - fully extended, the
head is over 5 inches high and can be extended forward to
eliminate lens shadowing.
ElightZ high efficiency 10 watt halogen
light packs photometric performance to blend almost any available
light. The light head bezel removes easily for bulb changes. The
bezel also features two mounting points for a wide variety of gels
and spun (included) to effortlessly adapt to any lighting
conditions.
ElightZ mounts quickly and easily to any camera
mounting type - shoe or stud - with a unique modular mounting
mechanism. Best of all at the end of a shooting day, the light
folds away neatly into a compact package and can remain on the
camera without adding weight or interfering with camera operation.
