NANLITE announce the latest in their lighting technology, with the new PavoTube II.  Having listened to commercial production teams, film crews and photographers across the globe the all new PavoTube II utilise RGBWW colour mixing technology with excellent colour rendition and accurate colour reproduction, making them the perfect companion on any shoot where you need to bring colourful visions to life.

Wider CCT range of 2700-7500K with G/M±150 adjustment allows for more comprehensive lighting options during different times of the day, making it easier to shoot photos and videos in varied environments.  Combined with more power PavoTube II 15C and PavoTube II 30C are 10% and 20% brighter respectively. Users can be confident in terms of intensity for use as a key light, fill light, as well as other applications.

The On-board PavoTube II 15C/30C control has been optimised with a much more intuitive two-knob operation: with one short press of the dimmer button instantly reinstating the previous intensity setting, providing a convenient and smooth lighting control experience.

PavoTube II 15C/30C have built-in Bluetooth and 2.4G modules making them easily controllable via the NANLINK APP, further expanding on functionality with multiple parameters being customisable under CCT/HSI/FX modes for more intelligent wireless control. All lights also support wired DMX/RDM for control in groups.

PavoTube II 15C/30C incorporate a USB Type-C port that enable PD3.0(Power Delivery) charging, as well as an opportunity to update the firmware.  The PavoTube II 15C has a built in 14.8V/2200aAM lithium battery and PavoTube II 30C a 14.8V/4400mAH lithium battery, providing the ability to create images, almost anywhere. They can also be powered by connecting to the included 15V/2A and 15V/4A power adapter respectively.

LED chips on PavoTube II 15C/30C are obscured with innovated diffusion materials. Soft and even emission ensures better performance for shooting highly reflective objects. The illumination area has also been enlarged by shortening the end caps.

Built-in effects in PavoTube II 15C/30C increase to 15 from the original 6.

A variety of accessories have been tailored for PavoTube II 15C/30C, including barndoor & eggcrate clips and floor stands. By continuously adding items to the collection, the lights will certainly offer unlimited light shaping possibilities, well into the future.

• BRIGHTER OUTPUT AND IMPROVED BEAM ANGLE
• STUDIO QUALITY LIGHTING ANYWHERE – 2700K-12000K, CRI-97 TLCI-98
• WHOLE NEW USER INTERFACE, SUPPORTING DMX, RDM, Bluetooth and 2.4G

Three years since the release of the original and award winning PavoTube, Nanlite proudly ushers in an exciting, brand-new member of the PavoTube family. Designed for Cinematographers, Photographers, Gaffers and other creative professionals all around the world innovated through unremitting exploration.

Driven by the ever-changing demands of existing Nanlite users and creators from all walks of life and genres, the PavoTube II X series has accomplished comprehensive upgrades both in form factor and the cutting-edge technologies within. By closing the gap between manufacture and image makers Nanlite have been able to innovate a solution that truly allows for creative freedom whilst offering ease and enjoyment in usage.

Sticking to the classical designs of a 2’ and 4’ tube as seen with the original PavoTube C series, PavoTube II X offers an ideal solution for existing Pavotube users and are offered in a range of configurations to suit all needs and budgets, Nanlite strongly believes the new X series will enable us to touch the sky with our infinite passion for lighting.

The super expansion of CCT now offers a staggering range of colour temperature from 2700K to 12000K, combined with the cutting-edge technology of RGBWW colour-mixing and G/M adjustment, the new series guarantees that the PavoTube II X will capture every wonderful moment with more colour accuracy than ever seen before.

The X series taps into more shooting potentials for Gaffers with the introduction of Pixel Control to its special effects portfolio. 15 advanced built-in practical effects create a truly professional arsenal of easily controlled lighting effects, that will bring any production to life.

Connectivity to and from a fixture is critical to establish smooth workflows that enable creativity to flow. PavoTube II X series provides many more options of communication to the fixture via a whole new user interface, supporting DMX, RDM, Bluetooth and 2.4G wireless control. Furthermore, Nanlite have developed and own NANLINK APP which will be launched simultaneously to allow wireless controls of the PavoTube II X individually and in groups via mobile devices. With all these connectivity options the Pavotube II X has grasped today’s state-of-the-art communication solutions but has also poised itself for the future.

With a wider range of features comes a bigger demand on batteries, the new X series adopts an enhanced battery solution offering up to 29 hours when used at 1% with a recharge time ranging from 3 to 3.5 hours. Through design the Pavotubes are expected to work in the most remote locations and that has been considered to ensure the X series delivers power, accuracy, and ease of use regardless of where you shoot.

Asked to summarize PavoTube II X series’ most prominent characteristics, Mac Group EU’s ‘Nanlite Product Marketing Manager’ Terry Caws said, “FLOWS IN SHAPE, IDEAS AT WILL” is the slogan for the launch of the PavoTube II X series, which literally means APPLICABLE ANYWHERE, CREATIVE ANYTIME in Chinese, we think it perfectly interprets the aspiration behind the development of the PavoTube II X series.
