DMG DASH Kits POCKET KIT $279, WITH CRMX $399 QUAD $1,250 WITH CRMX $1,730 WWW.ROSCO.COM
“There are many small-pocket LED lights on the market, but the Rosco DMG DASH has so many of the key features that have been missing from these types of fixtures,” says Director of Photography Pietro Villani. “One – it has great color. Two – it’s brighter than most lights of this size. Three – it’s incredibly easy to control, whether using its interface, the my-MIX app, or by a console or programmer. I’ve used it as an eye light with the round DOT attachment, placed it in a fireplace using the flame effect, and used it just out of frame as a police light at night. It’s a versatile tool that has become a staple on all my shoots.” DMG DASH features patented six-chip LED MIX technology with True Rosco Color gel matches. The kit comes fully accessorized with beam shaping, diffusion and mounting options. Its weatherproof and durable housing is IP6 rated and is available as a single light kit or quad kit to link four lights together. A wireless DMX model featuring LumenRadio for control via W-DMX and CRMX is now shipping.
Ghost One $98,998.97 WWW.TOPCRANE.COM
Remote crane operator John Betancourt says, “The Ghost streamlined a recent job I did big time. It’s got all the features of the great cranes out there, in a small travelable footprint.” Top Crane’s Ghost One is the first 20-foot universal remote arm on the market. It carries an 80-pound payload, is powerful, durable, lightweight and mobile. It ships in five cases, assembles quickly, and can be mounted on nearly anything with four wheels or a rudder. The joystick interface is intuitive and simple. Grasp the controls and get the shot at max speed, on the pavement or off. It is the only universal remote arm with the Phantom Stabilization Algorithm, a twin gyro-driven motor feedback, with thousands of counter calculations per second, working in tandem with Ghost One’s hinged tail that flexes independently of its boom, allowing the vehicle to traverse jarring situations without transferring shake down the arm. Flexibility is woven into the prowess with the Ghost One’s modular 15/20-foot boom. Short mode is best for close-quarters dynamics and long mode for all the reach needed for stunts and big reveals. Ghost One is built for use in silt beds, dunes, rainstorms, blizzards and racetracks.
