So we are almost in the second month of 2012 and there are things we would love to see. Head inside to read what in our opinion there should and shouldn’t be in the lighting industry of 2012.
March 2012 will see the release of the Ice Light, a mysterious new product from Westcott. Designed by Jerry Ghionis, the marketeers describe it as “the first ever wraparound handheld LED daylight light source”.
Aputure sent us some samples of their latest Amaran LED lamps to evaluate. The Amaran AL-198 is a battery-powered lamp with 198 LEDs and adjustable intensity. The AL-198A adds the ability to “zoom” or adjust the beam angle of the emitted light.
Hedler, a German lighting manufacturer, have announced that Minox USA are to be their exclusive distributor in the United States.
Jinbei have unveiled the Energon EN-760, a mains-output battery pack. The Energon is a battery fitted with a pure sine wave inverter so that you can power your AC studio flashes on location.
The PocketWizard Plus III wireless flash trigger was not unveiled at the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
Canon have filed a patent for a system where a camera communicates with a shoe-mount external flashgun by radio signals instead of by wire.
Oloong’s SP-660II speedlight offers manual mode through the hotshoe, but can also act as either a Nikon or a Canon advanced wireless slave, complete with TTL. At a price of only $100, could it become more popular than the Yongnuo YN-565?
Flaghead Photographic have reduced the price of the RayFlash Rotator – the 360° TTL flash bracket – by £30. The new retail price is £119 including VAT.
Shenzhen Nice Photographic Equipment Co. have unveiled the n-flash, a portable monolight with an integrated lithium battery and built-in wireless radio receiver.
