Nanlite has announced its new FM Mount Projection Attachment 18°-36°. It is an all-new optic specifically developed for NANLITE FM mount LED spotlights.
This projection attachment offers an 18° to 36° zoom range, and it is claimed to offer excellent edge control and a significant increase in the fixture’s illuminance.
Key features
- Compatible with NANLITE FM mount fixtures
- Significantly increases the fixture’s illuminance
- 360° rotatable lens barrel
- Designed with a yoke for the fixture’s greater tilt down
- Includes proprietary size and M-size gobo holders for greater compatibility
- Precise beam shaping with adjustable shutters
- Convenient gel frame for quick gel insertion
- Durable carrying bag for secure transport
The high precision optical design uses aspherical glass to achieve sharp edges. The aspherical optic minimizes aberrations and helps to achieve the excellent 97% beam uniformity and 96% CCT accuracy, with only 3% distortion (measured at 18° beam angle).
The advanced lens coating improves light transmission and aids color accuracy, ensuring minimal color shift. The matte black inner barrel reduces internal reflections and stray light for a sharper beam.
Precision beam adjustment is achieved via a large, easy-to-access zoom ring. The projection attachment has its own yoke. It also allows the setup to tilt significantly downward.
The housing is primarily made of aluminum alloy with nylon components, making it suitable for long-term use on set. The yoke enables the fixture to tilt significantly downward and mount on stands with either a junior receiver or a baby pin.
The built-in shutters precisely shape the lighting area, while the gel frame slot allows for easy gel insertion. The kit includes a proprietary-sized gobo holder and four gobos, as well as a universal M-size gobo holder for broader compatibility. Like the existing FM Mount Projection Attachment with 10°/19°/36° Lens (PJ-FMM-10/19/36), it is compatible with the optional 18-blade iris diaphragm (PJ-FMM-AI).
A padded carrying bag with protective lining is included. It fits the projection attachment snugly and provides shock protection during transport.
