Last weekend’s Cine Gear Expo at the LA Convention Center was a much needed breath of fresh air after so much time since our last public exhibition. From the new venue to the new products and the new faces, the FilmGear® team had an absolute blast at this year’s show. Here’s some of the highlights if you missed it:
Our most eye-catching lights at this event were definitely the new Power Beams. In addition to being possibly the brightest lights at the entire expo, they also have an absolutely mesmerizing parabolic glass mirror that captured everyone’s fancy. That mirror isn’t just pretty to look at though—it’s a masterpiece of engineering and manufacturing precision, and we’re proud to finally bring it to the U.S. If you want to see these powerful beam projectors struck, feel free to schedule a demo at our South El Monte location by calling 323.780.8880 or by emailing joanna@filmgearusa.com. Over 100 Power Beams are already seeing use in Europe, and preorders for for North America have already begun. With an 8-week lead time to delivery, they’re ready to get straight to work!
A close second in popularity was our 9-headed RGB Maxibrute, the Max 9C. This one we did strike, since it only draws 15A of power, while outputting the RGB equivalent to a 6kW tungsten Maxi. From our peninsula booth location, we had to keep it at roughly 10% intensity for most of the show just to avoid blinding the other booths. If you’d like to see it at full power, or if you just want to play with the various RGB and pattern modes, come schedule a demo with us!
Since this year’s attendance was lower than usual due to Covid, we got a chance to not only speak at greater length about the features and design philosophy that goes into every FilmGear® light but also to listen to your first impressions and feedback. At FilmGear®, we pride ourselves on being engineered for filmmakers, by filmmakers, so we’re excited to be working those suggestions in to improve your user experience.
If you missed us at Cine Gear, you can always schedule a demo to experience both current and future products for yourself before buying.
