So what are these Litepanels Sola lights you wonder? Me too, so I had Ali from Litepanels explain that to us at IBC.

This looks like a nice light kit considering that according to the manufacturer these daylight lamps offer an output comparable to a 100W HMI.

The Sola lamps are 30W LED lights in a fresnel-like single light enclosure, much like the Arri L7-C we saw yesterday (LINK).

The Sola ENG kit has the following in it:
- Sola ENG x3
- Gel Kit (Set of 3) x3
- Ball Head Shoe Mounts x3
- Shoe Mount Conversion Kits x3
- Barndoors x3, AC/DC Power Supply x3
- AC/DC Power Cord x3, TVMP Mount x3
- D-Tap Cables x3, Nano Stands x3
- Pelican 1510 Case with Custom Foam
- Lastolite Fold up Soft Box, Diffuser

The Sola ENG kit is currently $2695:

Here’s another video with Arri at Philip Vischers corner who presented their new camera support lineup to us. As I’ve mentioned numerous times Arri gear really stands out and in this regard I also found their new designs very ergonomic and pleasing.

You can get the Arri support gear at the Arri Pro Camera Accessories website: LINK

Oh and here’s the C300 handgrip adapter they also brought out recently in case you didn’t know. Like!

Arri is one company that keeps being successful at what they do. Their stuff just works and is extremely reliable. They offer some of the best quality in our field of work and come up with new devices every year. Here’s a new lighting fixture that I found very intriguing.

The L7-C is an LED light that is built to imitate the characteristics of a typical fresnel lens. So it gives you the nice varying beam at a very low weight.
What is special about the L7-C is that you can tune in any color you desire which makes using gels obsolete and gives you full control over your image in a very simple and cost effective way.

Here we’ve got a new and very nice looking shotgun mic by Sennheiser that was designed for use with small video cameras and HDSLR’s.

Usually these mics are very tiny and lightweight, the previous generation MKE 400 comes to mind. The new MKE 600 is larger and heaver, but also looks a lot more serious and capable. This is a microphone people have been anticipating. While it’s not cheap it might deliver some very good sound. The sound pro’s in the forum (LINK) will have more to say on that point.

The Sennheiser MKE 600 is $399:
