The FP6 HydraPanel LED 4-Light Kit with Charging Case from Astera features the compact 6.5 x 3.3 x 1.7" panel designed for in the studio or on location. It suits film, studio, and stage applications for direct or indirect illumination of people, objects, or scenery. The adjustable color temperature ranges from 3200 to 6500K and it has a high CRI/TLCI of 96 for color accuracy. Its full-spectrum titan LED engine generates an impressive 1300 lumens output and it has a runtime of an hour and 45 minutes at maximum brightness on its built-in battery power.
Included are four lightweight panels and various modifiers including four diffusers, eggcrates, and gel holders. The HydraPanel can be mounted via its included FlexBase accessory, Baby pin, or rear magnet. It has a built-in battery, so you can use it on location. The panels come with a power supply for Hyperion tube lights, three 200mm power and data combination cables, and a convenient charging case for storage and transportation. With the included connector plates, the four panels can be combined for synchronized control.
Multiple Light Modifiers
The HydraPanel includes a wide range of light modifiers that can be easily clipped to the surface of the panel via four magnets.
- Diffuser sheet 100 softens the beam and can be combined with eggcrates
- Intensifier 80 creates soft shadows while maintaining brightness and can also be combined with eggcrates
- Eggcrate 40 and eggcrate 60 narrow the beam spread and reduce spill light on the side
- Soft frame 100 creates soft shadows and gives the HydraPanel a consistent surface
