Hudson Spider MOZZIE Deluxe Kit Double Header

Developed by cinematographers, gaffers, and grips, the kit by Hudson Spider is built around a fixture that measures 29 in diameter and can be set up in five minutes. It breaks down and fits into a shock and waterproof rolling cylinder travel case. The fixture s six hinged aluminum and steel arms can be arranged in a parabolic shape for a total of 1224 closely spaced LEDs that combine to create a soft continuous light source. In addition to softness, the Mozzie has a unique wraparound quality, snappy contrast, and a crisp specular quality that some have called magical while most refer to it simply as a beauty light.

Using the included 100-240 VAC Litegear power supply/dimmer, the Mozzie has color temperature with a wide range of 2600 to 6000K with a high CRI that s an indicator of superior accuracy in color rendering. It can also be dimmed from 0 to 100% and while you can make these adjustments locally on the fixture, you can also do it remotely via onboard DMX from a console or with wireless DMX with built-in LumenRadio.

For those requiring directional control and softness options this kit also includes a parabolic hexagonal backing, Magic Cloth diffuser, and a full diffuser. Also included are two umbrellas, an IEC power cord, header cable, and a 5/8 Baby pin with 3/8 threads. It all fits in the kit s water and shockproof rolling case.

Design

The key to recreating the umbrella bounced light look with LEDs is to have them positioned closely together, spread evenly along the length of a parabolic-shaped armature, and focused outwards, not bounced, combining to create one attractive, continuous soft source. This phenomenon makes direct LED a viable alternative to bounced HMI or Tungsten.

Developed by Filmmakers

The Mozzie was developed on set by cinematographers, gaffers, and grips to streamline the lighting and production process, making it a little easier to get the job done well.

Magical Light Quality

There is an inexplicable quality about a parabolic source that some have called magical. The way the 29 Spider light wraps around the subject is unique. The raw, undiffused LEDs create specular highlights in the skin and eyes and have been referred to as beauty light.

Easy Rigging

The unit weighs in at 3 lb, 4 oz, making it very easy to rig from the included 5/8 Baby Pin either mounted at the front or rear 3/8 thread mounting points, typically with a standard grip head found on any C-stand.

Strong and Compact

The Mozzie is built robustly with the strongest materials. It is quick to collapse down to a cylinder - a fraction of its open size, and packs into a rolling travel case that is water and shockproof.

Optional Accessories

The Mozzie has a steadily growing list of Hudson Spider and 3rd party accessories, which includes diffusion, teasers, soft egg crates, and softboxes, including an Octa, called Stealth.
