Get drawn into Orbiter's Beam ...

The Orbiter Beam provides a punchy and defined 4° shaft of parallel and homogeneous light. This Beam optic transforms the Orbiter into the brightest full-color LED spot light on the market, thanks to it's new reflector-focused optical concept and the Orbiter's Spectra light engine. The Orbiter Beam produces an illuminance level that is comparable to the Daylight M-Series M18, enabled by its tighter beam angle.

"The first test with the Orbiter‘s new parallel Beam Reflector revealed an exciting light output, exceeding the Orbiter‘s fresnel lens at full spot by 1,5 stops."

In my eyes, ARRI’s projection optics have already brought the Orbiter a giant leap forward—I am sure the Beam will become a further accessory that reinforces the Orbiter‘s position as a versatile every-day set tool. It will become a future standard in my lighting package."

Tech Specs

The Orbiter Beam has a large aperture, yet its housing is compact (approx. 573 mm x 548 mm x 548 mm / 22.6 in x 21.6 in x 21.6 in) and lightweight (5,9 kg / 13 lbs.). The reflector’s diameter of 530 mm (20.9 in) is similar in size to the M90.

The optic consists of two parts, the reflector and the snoot, which can easily be separated and stacked for convenient storage and transport.

The Orbiter Beam utilizes a unique manual focus adjustment that allows for a soft or hard beam edge.

Application possibilities

This parallel beam light is perfectly suited especially within cinematic applications—either for long throw distances or indirectly bounced. The Orbiter Beam optic is an ideal option for creating the illusion of natural light from a distance. The unique and authentic look of this light fixture makes it a go-to choice for filmmakers when simulating sun- or moonlight in film projects.

Mounting

Orbiter’s unique Quick Lighting Mount (QLM) system allows the Beam optic to be mounted safely and quickly. The LiOS2 or higher update ensures an automatic recognition of this new optic.

The Orbiter Beam optic is an ideal option for creating the illusion of distant natural lights. The unique and authentic look of this optic in combination with the versatile Orbiter fixture makes it a go-to choice for filmmakers when simulating the natural light of the sun or moon in film projects.
The two elements of the optic, the reflector and snoot, can be easily separated and stacked for convenient storage and transport. The Orbiter Beam comprises a unique manual hot-spot adjustment allowing variation from hard to soft edge light. No additional accessories for the Orbiter Beam optic such as barndoors or snoots are required as the light beam produced is already nicely focused.

FAQ

A snoot is already included as default. There are no further accessories for this optic.

Yes, but for ideal performance of the collimated beam, as well as to prevent undesired spill light, the use of the snoot is highly recommended.
