Litepanels Croma Flight Kit
Litepanels Croma Flight Kit
Litepanels announced the release of the new Croma Flight Kit. Based around the popular variable color temperature Litepanels Croma, this compact kit is designed for today’s shooting environments. The Croma Flight Kit has a host of power and mounting accessories, and offers room for an additional lighting fixture or other items.

Out of the box, the Croma Flight Kit comes equipped for typical location lighting applications. This includes three Croma LED fixtures and associated Diffusion Gels, Ball Head Shoe Mounts, TVMP Adapters, ¼ – 20 Adapter Kits, AC Power Supplies, and compact light stands that each extend from 19.3” to 6.2’ (49cm to 1.9cm). In addition, the Croma Flight Kit is equipped with a Manfrotto Justin Spring Clamp for use when a light source is needed in tight or confined locations. The gear stays secure and highly portable in a compact trolley-style hard case with a custom designed, rigid foam insert. And all of the gear fits neatly into standard airplane overhead storage.

At the heart of the kit is the Croma fixture, which combines both daylight and tungsten balanced LEDs. The mixture of the two LEDs can be controlled via a single ergonomic dial in order to match ambient light or create artistic accents. Through a similar manual control, the Croma also employs integrated, smooth dimming from 100 percent to 0 with no color shift, and is consistently flicker-free at any frame rate or shutter angle. Each Croma offers output comparable to 40W HMI or 90W tungsten fixture and can be powered for up to 1.5 hours by six AA batteries. The Kit also includes three international AC power adapter plugs.

The kit can be deployed in a classic three-point lighting interview set up, individual fixtures can be mounted directly on camera, and fixtures are ideal for creating complimentary edge or hair light.

Fully loaded, users have the option to build out a five light custom lighting kit — all in the space of typical carry-on luggage. The custom foam in the case offers a dedicated space to add a fourth fixture, and even more additional space for a Litepanels Sola ENG or Micro fixture.
