Robe iPointe65 and iSpiider

The iPointe65 is a bright, high-performance multifunctional luminaire modelled on Robe’s famous and best-selling MegaPointe, which works equally well as a beam, spot, effects and wash fixture. The light source is a 310W lamp with a lifetime of up to 4,000 hours that has been specially developed for Robe by Osram. Providing 12,000 lumens (measured at the front lens) the source produces a brilliant, crystal clear, razor-edged beam, which is adjustable from a tight, punchy 1.8° column to a wide 42° spot.

Modelled on Robe’s hugely successful industry-standard Spiider LED wash beam, iSpiider is a bright, high-performance luminaire, retaining all the favourite features of the indoor version. Like the iPointe65, it is effectively and robustly sealed to prevent water and particle ingress strictly adhering to the IP65 rating, so users can be confident of both its protection efficacy and its great performance. iSpiider uses the same 18 x 40-Watt, and 1 x 60-Watt LED sources as the original fixture, and the identical 12.5:1 zoom optical system gives huge flexibility, going from a tight collimated 4° beam to a super-smooth wide 50° wash.

DPA 4466 and 4488

DPA’s 4466 CORE Omnidirectional and 4488 CORE Directional Headset Microphones are based on the design of the company’s groundbreaking 6066 Subminiature Headsets. With a one-size-fits-all design and adjustable height and boom length, the 4466 and 4488 headsets accommodate small to large head types. A unique, three-point gripping system (above, below and behind the ear) ensures a greater level of security, while the flexible ear hooks provide continued comfort during extended use. The headsets share the same interchangeable cable and boom options as the 6066 Subminiature Headsets. This includes the 90-degree cable management at the neck. The headset frame, boom and capsule have a non-reflective surface for unobtrusiveness and ease-of-use for camera crews. With a high-quality, professional look, the 4466 and 4488 are available in the company’s standard black and beige options, with a brown version coming soon.

Portman Mantis

The Portman Mantis is a unique, fully LED-based decorative stage light. The species belongs to the Portman family, and is characterised by a high spreading rate, especially in the tour, festival, and TV show environment, while remaining easy to tame by LDs. They can be encountered as independent units or found in larger clusters. Mantis evolved in Poland, its evolution taking place in a purely dark and silent environment, perfect for developing a strong light source with a unique design with the utmost attention to detail. The Mantis is characterised by three dim to warm powerful main LED light sources that can act as a blinder. At lower intensities, these can be hypnotic warm and smooth dimming light sources. These light sources are accompanied by strong RGBW LEDs with good saturation and beautiful colour mixing. The whole species is crowned with RGBW LED light sources in the centre with a frosted filter and ability to add a gobo inside.
