Rotolight products have always blown us away, but its latest launch on Kickstarter promises to hit even higher highs than ever before. When professional photographers describe it as "the perfect hybrid light" and say it’s so good that it "is borderline cheating", you know it’s a product you have to pay attention to.
Meet the Rotolight Anova PRO 3, the feverishly-anticipated 1x1 light that looks set to not only break more records on Kickstarter, but to break the wheel of production that has existed for so long in film and television.
Unprecedented tech
The Anova PRO 3 is phenomenal, it's so powerful and portable. It doesn’t matter the conditions – this light can adapt
Christian John O’Reilly, Fire & Ice
So, what’s so special about the Anova PRO 3? Let’s start with the fact that it’s about to make light meters extinct on TV and film sets! In an industry first, it boasts an optical light sensor called Magic Eye that automatically measures the Kelvin and HSI color of on-set lighting – and then it automatically matches it. It’s nothing short of a hack for balancing light.
That’s a sentiment that holds just as true for stills photography, too. "The Anova PRO 3 is by far Rotolight’s best light," notes editorial and fashion photographer Jake Hicks. "Using these lights is borderline cheating in all honesty!"
Known for his strikingly bold use of gels, Hicks has once again lent his signature palette to the Master of Light Preset Packs – which features over 100 built-in HSI and gel presets, along with special effects from leading photographers, cinematographers and Emmy-winning filmmakers.
Unprecedented creativity
While the Anova PRO 3 delivers a wealth of out-of-the-box lighting, it also empowers you to unleash your own creativity. At your fingertips are 16.7 million colors, 2,500 digital gels, and any color temperature – all yours to select at the touch of a dial.
Creatives at the top of their field, from photographers to directors of photography, have been relying on the Anova PRO family for years. From movies like Ghostbusters: Afterlife to productions by the BBC, Netflix and Amazon Studios, the product line has been battle-tested by the best in the business – and that feedback has fed directly into the development of the Anova PRO 3.
The Anova PRO 3 is incredibly powerful. For someone who shoots both stills and moving image, this is the perfect hybrid light
Ron Timehin
It more than doubles the power output of the previous Anova (as well as the Rotolight AEOS PRO 2), delivering a class-leading 22,000 lux – providing more than enough light to overpower the sun. And it’s far from just a fairweather light; with IP65 water resistance, the Anova PRO 3 is an all-weather powerhouse that can be used in the studio, on the soundstage, or even on location in heavy rain showers.
From photographers to content creators to moviemakers, the Rotolight Anova PRO 3 is setting new standards and breaking new ground for still and moving images. Take a look at the Kickstarter campaign and be among the first in the world to transform your work.
