Gear Reviews

The thing about DiGiCo is, even if the worst did happen and a shackle fell from the sky and smashed into the desk, they’re so widely available, we could get a replacement, load up our file and be OK.

The Karif LT produces a really nice, crisp, strong beam that projects a long distance. The gobo range is excellent and looks well at home in any larger indoor lighting rig.

The Astera QuikSpot is best suited to any application where a high-quality battery powered Fresnel is needed.

It is far from just being a one-trick pony, and the beam it produces is very impressive. As far as performance is concerned, that is its main selling point.

The tarm 3 are a ‘true’ 3 Watt system that have great mirror speeds and are really solidly built. We expect to see them outputting at full power for many years.

The Claypaky Volero Wave is unapologetically a top-tier effect light, a unique offering capable of some pretty amazing things

The Pulsar S2 does a lot of things, and does them surprisingly well. Comparisons to other fixtures fail, as the Pulsar S2 is that rare thing in the lighting market; actually unique.

The MoveMics worked brilliantly on everyone I put them on; big boomy people, tiny quiet people, and everyone in between. There was barely anything to do to the audio in post.

“Gordo thought of having the lampshades as he wanted a WOW moment…He wanted something high-impact that accentuated the depth and spatiality of the full space, and the twinkling lanterns “always get a great reaction,” he noted.

The Ayrton Kyalami is one of the more unique looking lighting fixtures we have seen in quite some time; a moving light that almost looks like a dome camera
