"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.
