Godox showed off its prototype for what was probably the biggest modifier it has ever made. The Godox BeamLight Max90 is a powerful light source that can be aimed at a small area from a great distance.
The LED light is compatible with Godox MG2400Bi and Godox MG1200Bi. If you thought the required lights were expensive, they are both cheaper than the moderator itself.
Godox BeamLight Max90 – Focusing your light
When I first saw photos of this modifier, my first thought was… well, it’s right there in the title. Sticking a bat-logo on top of this thing is not going to make it project onto the clouds. It will, however, blast light in one direction from afar.
You can beam the light from a distance in remote locations, wide shots or other places where it’s difficult to set up lights near to the action. You may need to use that distance in order to reduce the falloff between the two sides of the set, and to create the illusion of daylight.
The Godox BeamLight Max90 is the answer. The Godox Knowled MG2400Bi or MG1200Bi led lights can be attached to it. This modifier is so big that it can’t be attached to the light. It has a yoke that attaches the stand to the light.
The LEDs are included in the package.
The Godox BeamLight Max90, however, is not like a conventional modifier. The majority of modifiers attach to a lamp and then use the output. The Godox BeamLight Max90 contains LEDs.
This is likely to be linked in some way with the LEDs that are built into the Godox Knowled MG2400Bi or MG1200Bi. It essentially produces a powerful light beam in an almost parallel manner. It’s not a perfectly collimated light beam, but pretty close.
Godox claims that its light is comparable to the brightness of a 12K HMI. This is a ton output. According to Godox, it can illuminate a subject from more than 280 meters away.
This is definitely out of reach for most people (and their budgets), but if you’re looking for a powerful light, it looks worth a look.
