Light & Motion Introduces The Stella Pro RF with Elinchrom Skyport® Technology
North White Plains, NY (PRWEB) April 24, 2017 -- The Stella family is a range of portable, battery-powered, waterproof and/or weatherproof, light-weight, fast charging, and powerful continuous LED lights that can be set up in seconds. Now with wireless control, Light & Motion Stella products are sure to become even more of a favorite among on-the-go content creators.
Introducing the Stella Pro 5000 RF and Stella Pro 8000 RF
Heeding the call of professionals requiring increased flexibility, Light & Motion is proud to announce their new Stella Pro 5000 RF and Stella Pro 8000 RF single-point LED lights that now add complete wireless control to their list of features. This means on-the-go content creators are now free to mount these extremely portable, weatherproof, rugged 5600K lights anywhere they can imagine with no need for DMX controllers or external wireless RF modules.
Leveraging an exciting new technology partnership with Elinchrom, a pioneering lighting company known for their broad technological capabilities and renowned light shaping tools, Light & Motion has incorporated the Elinchrom ‘Skyport® Protocol’ into these two new Stella Pro RF units.
"We pride ourselves on updating our products to keep up with the demand of today’s photographic, video, and broadcast professionals. We are incredibly excited to partner with Elinchrom and be the first to offer their newly available Skyport Protocol in our new RF products to the video market. This is the beginning of a very exciting collaboration." Daniel Emerson, Light & Motion CEO
Complete Wireless Freedom
The Stella Pro 5000 RF and Stella Pro 8000 RF (with integrated Skyport® Transceiver) are controlled by the EL Remote Control for Stella, a wireless, 2.4 GHz remote control designed specifically for working with continuous lights compatible with Elinchrom's Skyport® Protocol.
With Elinchrom’s Skyport® Protocol, the RF Control for Stella provides users with 20 channels, 4 separate groups, and the ability to turn the unit on and control its power from 0 to 100%.
In addition, it is also capable of controlling up to 20 lights at a range of up to 656’/ 200m outdoors and 197’/ 60m indoors. This shared technology also potentially allows the Stella RF lights to be controlled by the new Speedmaster L858D-U with the Elinchrom/Phottix module and the Litemaster Pro L-478D-U-EL.
"We are delighted to be partnering with Light & Motion as the first manufacturer to incorporate our Skyport® Protocol into their new Stella Pro RF lineup. Both Elinchrom and Light & Motion share a belief that the simpler we can make our end users’ workflow, the more efficient and creative they can be. The video market is a fast moving place that both our companies want to help keep moving forward with the best, most thoughtful products we can offer." Simon Whittle, Elinchrom CEO
Updated, Intuitive Controls
Stella lights from Light & Motion are fast becoming the light of choice for on-location professionals seeking cord-free, rugged and weather resistant lights outputting high-quality light. In an effort to make workflow even more streamlined, they have updated the user-interface of the Stella Pro 5000 RF and Stella Pro 8000 RF to decrease set-up time and increase productivity. An intuitive, three-button interface now provides faster, more precise output control, while allowing for easier navigation of the settings menu.
Introducing the Stella Pro 5000 RF and 8000 RF Action Kits as well as updated Stella Pro Kits
In response to popular demand, Light & Motion is offering a new Stella Pro 5000 RF Action Kit and a Stella Pro RF 8000 Kit.
