receiver into NEO 2, which eliminates the need to
purchase a stand-alone flash receiver. Providing
range, flexibility and control for off-camera
lighting setups, Skyport enables users to wirelessly
control up to ten lights in four groups at up to
200m (656ft) with the Rotolight HSS transmitter;
optimised for Rotolight by Elinchrom. Available
for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus/Panasonic and
Fujifilm camera systems.
“The NEO 2 is going to revolutionise how people
use light and eliminate the need for external
flash. If you have those moments that you just
cannot afford to miss, this is an incredible light
for you. You’ll never miss a shot,”
says Jason Lanier,
a Rotolight Master of Light and professional
photographer.
“I tested NEO 2 on a Sony A6500 at 11 frames per
second,”
explains Lanier.
“It fired every single time.
There’s genuinely no recycle time, no light loss, no
power loss. That is just a game-changer, there is no
other light in the world that can do that.”
Featuring electronically adjustable colour
temperature (3150-6300K) in both Flash and
Continuous modes and a built-in kelvin display,
NEO 2 enables photographers to easily adjust
white balance or match ambient light settings to
create more natural looking shots.
Lightweight and portable, NEO 2 can be mounted
both on or off camera for ultimate creative control.
Delivering unrivalled battery performance, NEO 2
provides 85,000 full power flashes on a single set
of rechargeable AA batteries, compared to the
200 flashes of a typical speedlight. 85% brighter in
Continuous mode than its predecessor, NEO 2 is a
small light that delivers big results.
“Rather than spending time on cumbersome
lighting setups, NEO 2 enables photographers to
focus on composing the perfect shot. For those
shooting both stills and video, it entirely eliminates
the need for two separate setups,”
says Rod Aaron
Gammons, managing director of Rotolight.
