Generate exhilarating beams of light with the Claypaky Mini Xtylos HPE, a compact moving head with unique optical and chromatic characteristics, making use of a tailor-made RGB laser source that's reliable, safe, and fully sealed. The Mini Xtylos's powerful engine and patent-pending optical group provides an incredible array of colors.

The Mini Xtylos HPE offers linear virtual CTO, one effect wheel with two rotating and interchangeable prisms and one interchangeable frost filter, a 24-bit digital dimmer, a fast digital stop/strobe, and have an aperture range of 1° to 4° to produce their incredible beam effects. The motorized zoom and focus allow you to control the beam width and gobo size with ease. The unit also offers endless pan rotation in both directions, which can be controlled at various speeds. The front panel features an LCD display and a 5-button menu system, while the rear panel provides connections for 5-pin DMX I/O, powerCON I/O, and EtherCON. The fixture supports Art-Net, RDM, sACN, and DMX (27 channels). The Mini Xtylos HPE includes two Omega mounting brackets and a powerCON power cord.

Its power consumption and luminous efficacy are excellent. The laser engine power consumption is 20W, the equivalent of a low-consumption fixture, but the resulting light output easily exceeds any high-power beam moving light.

A special patent-pending design optical system turns the laser-emitted light into a solid, dense, saturated light beam without any visible hotspots. The beam aperture ranges from 1 to 4°, resulting in pencil beams that are of exceptional intensity, and cannot be reproduced by any other light sources, either LED or traditional.

The Mini Xtylos HPE uses laser technology with RGB additive color mixing. In contrast to the subtractive mixing used with discharge lamps, colored light beams are as bright as a white light beam. With the Mini Xtylos, you always have a Turbo-Red, a TurboBlue, and a Turbo-Green at your disposal, together with all their combinations, which are infinitely brighter than those produced by a traditional bulb. Color consistency is literally unequalled both across different fixtures and during lifetime. Lighting designers will finally be able to create their shows making extensive use of colors, without fear of them being overwhelmed by the rest of the lighting rig.

The range of effects is very wide and complete: one effect wheel with two rotating and interchangeable prisms and one interchangeable frost filter. These effects are enhanced by the laser source and by the visibility of the aerial colors, giving rise to never-seen-before mid-air effects.

Effect and color changes alternate virtually instantaneously, in such a way that they are difficult for the human eye to perceive. Besides allowing lighting scenes to be changed very quickly and accurately, the speed of this change itself can be used as a breath-taking effect.

The laser unit is housed in a safe, sealed module, which is not accessible to users. This module produces a beam of light with incredible optical characteristics: bright, perfectly collimated, uniformly mixed, and evenly distributed across its section. Unlike some discharge lamp fixtures, its beam comes with a negligible amount of heat, so there is no risk of heating up scenery and objects.

An extraordinarily compact housing, together with the most advanced electronics on the market, make the Mini Xtylos extremely fast and responsive to pan-tilt movements. Its compact size means it can be easily installed on pre-rigs or housed inside the Clay Paky Igloo for fixed outdoor installations.

The laser source lasts for approximately 20,000 hours (equivalent to over 12 years of average use by a rental company) with minimal decay in luminous efficacy. This is a significant technology improvement, which results in an excellent ROI for rental companies.

The laser module is easily accessible and replaceable at the end of its life. The electronic module is a disjointed unit and it may be replaced separately from the light source, if faulty.

The Mini Xtylos HPE is definitely the most dynamic light on the market. It is ideal tool for all rental companies, for use at major events, and at any show, which would like to stand out with colorful beams and never-seen-before effects. It is also perfect for permanent installations in theme parks and TV studios.

The Mini Xtylos HPE is the first moving head light with a laser source, and this opens up new, surprising prospects for the development of the entire entertainment lighting world.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. could this work for Canon 5DMark IV with 100-400mmm lens?

A: The Ulanzi U-190 Mini Fluid Head will comfortably work with the Canon 100-400mm lens, as long as it was mounted on the tripod foot of the lens itself.

Q: 2. What is its loading weight capacity?

A: The Lefoto BV-1R can support up to 6.6lbs.

Q: 3. would this porduct work as a replacement tripod head for http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/717667-REG/Benro_A150EXU_A_150EXU_Digital_Tripod_Kit.html ?

A: Yes, the Oben BD-0 can be used as a replacement head on the Benro A-150EXU tripod.

Q: 4. This ballhead has the ability to use either 1/4 -20 or 3/8 -16 according to package. But I can't figure out how to change it to fit my Platypod for the correct fitting. The one it comes with is too small. How do I change it?

A: If you google 1/4 to 3/8 adaptor I think you will find an inexpensive fix. They won't let me include a link.

Q: 5. What's the maximum suggested payload weight?

A: The Ulanzi U-190 Mini Fluid Head payload limit is 22lbs/10kg More info https://bit.ly/3O7D7GS

Q: 6. Which country is this made in?

A: The PGYTECH MINI Reverse Ball Head country of origin is China.

Q: 7. Would this be good for a 2.5 lb Nikon P950 on a monopod?

A: Yes it would hold a Nikon P950 on a monopod.

Q: 8. What would be the reasons for choosing this ball head over the similar Oben bd-02?

A: Both the Oben BD-0 Mini Ball Head, B&H # OBBD0, and the Oben BD-02 Mini Ball Head, B&H # OBBD02, are very similar. The main difference between the two items is the BD-0 Mini Ball Head has a slim profile platform on the top of the tripod head, while the Oben BD-02 Mini Ball Head has a wide platform on the top of the camera. While both may be used with cameras as long as they are under the maximum load capacity, I would personally recommend the BD-0 for small, lightweight, and slim cameras, hot shoe flashes, LED lights, or other small, lightweight fixtures that use the standard 1/4"-20 tripod connector. The BD-02 with its wider platform would be better for larger cameras such as point-and-shoot super-zoom cameras, larger advanced point-and-shoot, mirrorless, or DSLR cameras, and larger camera accessories that use the standard 1/4"-20 tripod connector and which would benefit from better connection from the wide platform.

Q: 9. I have a Nikon D810 with Nikkor 24-70 2.8 lens. Do you know if this will work well with this fluid head?

A: Yes, the Nikon D810 DSLR Camera (Body Only) paired with the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR Lens weighs 4.29 lb and can work well with the 22 lb payload support on the Ulanzi U-190 Mini Fluid Head.

Q: 10. Does this have a counterbalance?

A: Unfortunately, the Leofoto Fluid Head BV-1R does not have a counter balance.
