Gear Reviews

They are such a good general all-purpose fixture. The zoom on them is amazing, so when we need to do a framing shot, we utilise that.

The light is significantly better than the specs would suggest. A punchy light for its size with very good optics.

“I can see these amplifiers appearing on riders and there are very good technical reasons why.”

… the punch the Collider FC packs, and the features on board, are top of the line. It is very, very bright!

”The Robe Spikie is a good light that does a lot of things really well. What will make or break it in any particular application is how it is used and what it is used with.”

The Digital Forecast X_TS mini is a small, handy thing to have that is well worth the money. It’s a real AV Swiss Army Knife, with screen, testing, plus diagnostics.

Every venue and production company should have several cases of Hercules LEDs up their sleeve to act as ‘get-out-of-jail-free cards’.

“The ULTRA-X40 is a more-than-worthy successor to the industry-standard UPA-1P.”

“It is quick to put up and break down, taking less than two weeks. We did Perth in nine days as it was a big open space but in more confined locations, it takes about twelve.”
