Litepanels MicroPro Hybrid is Here!

24/06/2010


Litepanels harnesses its Emmy award-winning LED technology to bring you the MicroPro Hybrid - the first professional LED light to combine “continuous output” and a “flash” feature in a single fixture.

The Hybrid’s “Continuous Mode” provides luminous, wrap-around soft output that beautifully complements the camera’s video capability in today’s motion-enabled DSLR cameras. The “Flash” feature produces a 400% brighter burst, which is perfect for illuminating a variety of still images.

Litepanels MicroPro Hybrid on-camera light is powered by six standard AAHD batteries, harnessing the company’s Emmy Award-winning LED technology in a lightweight, compact design. The Hybrid offers soft, directional lighting with the same warmth and outstanding color characteristics that make Litepanels an integral part of television, broadcast news, motion picture and still photo shoots worldwide.

MicroPro Hybrid produces 1.5 hours of continuous output from six AAHD batteries or 5-6 hours from Energizer e2 Lithium cells. The system can be run on either standard or rechargeable batteries. Power can also be supplied optionally through a convenient 5-16V input jack located on the back of the unit.

At the top of the Hybrid housing, a convenient integrated dimmer offers instant 100% to 0 dimming with minimal color shift. Output is flicker free and heat free and remains consistent. For greater versatility, an integrated filter holder on the face of the light allows you to work with three (included) color/diffusion gels. Additional filters can be conveniently stored on the back of the fixture. A Strobe Sync Cable included at the base of the unit simply plugs in to enable a strobe function.

The compact, low-profile Hybrid head is ideally suited for mounting on a DV or DSLR camera. It measures 5.5” W x 3.75” H x 1. 5” D (139.7mm x 95.25mm x 38.1mm) and weighs just 10.5 ounces (300g).
