Use what you already have at hand
Investment into quality and performance
This new accessory gives a second life to already owned equipment. The Orbiter’s built-in reflector and collimator boost older equipment’s efficiency. Furthermore, Orbiter’s high power and output, along with its outstanding optical performance, homogeneous field, and clean projection raises the value of third-party equipment. A manageable investment that will have a big impact on additional versatility.
Or you can also have a look at the Orbiter Projection Optics which are truly second to none, outperforming all competitor projection optics and dedicated profile fixtures. And while the Orbiter Docking Ring allows third-party optics that customers may already own to be used on the Orbiter, such combinations can only ever be as good as those third-party optics.
Extended application possibilities
The Orbiter Docking Ring is a great possibility for rentals to provide even more diversity to their customers. Also, theatres, productions, photographers and many more users can experience a state-of-the-art light engine, while benefiting from this innovation as they can now use the tunable LED fixture with a wide range of already owned optics in addition to ARRI optics.
