Why You’ll Want to Book These Early
- They’ll move fast. As soon as these hit the market, rental houses and DPs will snatch them up. Booking ahead guarantees availability.
- Perfect for high-end commercial work. When your shoot demands edge-to-edge sharpness, controlled beam shaping, or remote operation, these are the tools that deliver.
- Greater creative flexibility. The XT52 + CF16 combo gives you a potent, tunable, shapeable source — excellent for product work, architectural lighting, mood lighting, or big set builds.
- Seamless integration. The CF16 is built for XT52, meaning mounting, control, and performance fit intuitively into your existing workflows.
📸 Sample Shots & Use Cases
- Use the zoom from 18° to 50° to shift between tight cinematic accents and soft flood washes.
- Control on-set via DMX or wirelessly via Sidus Link for fast repositioning mid-shoot.
- Maximize output in tight zones (e.g. product shots, accent lighting) by tightening the Fresnel.
- Weatherproof build makes it ideal for outdoor or mixed-environment shoots.
