Rotolight has announced "a new era of cinematic lighting", the Rotolight Titan X2 LED soft light – which it claims is "the brightest 2x1 soft light ever made".
The Rotolight Titan X2 offers an unparalleled level of control, enabling photographers and cinematographers to electronically adjust lighting properties such as diffusion, focus and spread.
Controllable wirelessly or directly via the unit's toughened LCD touchscreen, the Titan X2 boasts customizable presets and quick-start shortcuts to save searching through a cavern of menus. The device can also display on-screen previews of its lighting effects, making it much easier to find and fine-tune results.
Encompassing the entire CCT (correlated color temperature) spectrum from 2,800K-10,000K, the Rotolight Titan X2 makes gels redundant. Over 16.7 million colors are accessible across distinct lighting modes CCT, HSI, RGBW, XY and Filter – which boasts a library of over 1,300 industry standard gel presets.
For cinematographers and videographers, Rotolight's CineSFX suite (designed in association with visual effects specialist Stefan Lange, whose credits include Batman, 007 Skyfall and Tomb Raider) offers realistic full-color cinematic lighting effects such as fire, lightning, TV, gunshot and paparazzi (check the video to see this in action).
In addition to continuous lighting, the Titan X2 also features high speed sync flash of up to 1/8000 sec for studio photography and portraiture completely free of recycle time. Up to 10 Titans can be triggered using the Rotolight HSS transmitter.
The unit possesses an integrated Elinchrom Skyport flash receiver, and also features wired / wDMX, Bluetooth, LumenRadio and RJ45 support, promising problem-free connection whatever your preferred method or system.
The Rotolight Titan X2 is available for pre-order in standard yoke, pole yoke and swan neck mount, starting at $4699 / £4300, and begins shipping in November.
