For the most sophisticated use cases and the most demanding clients, you simply need the best equipment available. In this category, you’ll find only the best, from high-end LED fixtures with a wide range of features to powerful HMIs and specialty lights as well. Although cinematic-grade lighting fixtures are often bulky, some of them are quite compact, so you can handle them on your own.
However, some of them require at least a small crew, to be honest. After all, handling all the features like DMX and using huge lighting consoles is just not something you can do while also taking care of the camera. The lights in this list are meant to be used by professionals on full-fledged sets and therefore have a professional price tag.
