Litepanels:
Astra
Litepanels next-generation Astra family of LED panels continues to build on the quality and popularity of the original 1x1 panel. The new Astra 3X and 6X - available in both Daylight or Bi-Color models - feature a 50 percent increase in output, making them three and six times brighter than the original Astra. The Astra Bi-Focus Daylight, the newest addition to the popular Astra family, gives users the ability to adjust from a 48 flood to a 15 concentrated quality of light with the turn of a dial.

Sola
Litepanels daylight-balanced Sola 4 and Sola 6 LED fresnels feature all the benefits of todays LED technology with the light-shaping, single-shadow properties of a traditional fresnel. The Sola 6 was named 2017 Moviemakers Gear of the Year Award Winner and is now 50 percent brighter than the previous version, while the Sola 4 is now more than 120 percent brighter than its predecessor. The Sola LED range provides cool daylight illumination with the unique ability to control both focus and intensity.
Both the Astra and Sola series are ideal complements to the Gemini panels, adding functionality and versatility to an overall lighting design while maintaining exceptional color quality. Like all Litepanels LED lighting, the Sola and Astra families are flicker-free regardless of frame rate, shutter angle, or intensity level. Easy to set up, the Sola and Astra lights can be powered via professional camera batteries for quick, mobile lighting setups.

Vinten: Vantage and VRC Controller

As the first controller of its kind, the VRC is the perfect complement to the Vantage, giving the camera head even greater versatility and flexibility for enterprise video capture. The VRC controller allows studios and venues of any size to control high-end robotics and third-party PTZs. When paired with the Vantage, the VRC offers a complete robotic broadcast production solution.
