Litepanels have updated their Miniplus camera-top light with a new look and a new name – the Brick. It’s designed for ENG camera operators so it’s IP65 rated for water and dust resistance. It’s bi-colour, dimmable and features chunky buttons to make sure it’s possible to use with gloves on in inclement weather.
It’s powered by an integrated D-tap cable, or an AC adapter which is included as part of a kit. The kit also includes a 60 degree honeycomb, diffusion frame, manfrotto arm, and a watertight case. Individual Brick fixtures will sell for $399US and the kit for $699US
