IBC 2015: Manfrotto by Litepanels camera-top LED lights

By associate editor Elliot Smith:

Manfrotto and Litepanels are now both part of the Vitec group, and the Italian manufacturer formerly best known for camera support is updating its range of on-camera lights with technology and know-how from their lighting focused sister company.

The lights are the Spectra, the Micropro 2, the Croma 2 and at the top of the range is the Lykos. This features an optional Bluetooth dongle that interfaces with an iOS app to control dimming and colour temperature over a number of different fixtures. The Lykos will be available at the end of October for €415.
