[0.75 lb] Well built, clever barn door usage. Why can't arri make something for the Skypanel

[0.75 lb] I purchased based on a peer's good review of the light. So far, it has been a great tool, comparable to the Arri Sky Panel, but 90% of the Sky's brightness. Less expensive than the Sky too.

[0.75 lb] I bought this Sola 4+ fresnel for use as a back light in a typical 3 point lighting scenario. It fits the bill quite well I think. I considered the ARRI L5 for this because it is bi-color, but my budget didn't quite allow for it, so the Sola 4+ was the next best option. The Sola 4+ is light enough to place on a boom without excessive counterweights and allows for easy rigging. The fixture is mostly plastic which gives it a bit of a cheap feel however. The barn doors have plastic hinges but the doors are aluminum. Considering the plastic makes it light weight, which is a huge bonus if you are travelling with this fixture, I think it is a reasonable trade off. The focus range allows fine tuning and quite a narrow spot. Fan is quite enough that most audio situations would not pick it up. The fixture has a small form factor but it packs a pretty good punch for its size. Because it is only daylight balanced, I purchased the 5 piece CTO pack which includes a opal frost diffusion. Not sure I will use the DMX function but it's nice to know it's there incase I do. Overall, I think this light is a pretty good value but it needs to be handled and packed carefully to avoid possible damage. I gave the Sola 4+ five stars because it met my expectations based on the advertising and published specs. Now Litepanels needs to make a bi-color version of this fresnel to truly perfect it!

[9.7 x 7 x 3.3"] We ordered the product and it arrived on time. I have tested it and it is running well. I am not sure why the original ballasts went down but this replacement is working well.

[0.75 lb] Good case

[0.75 lb] work as expected and solid, it is better to detach it after few days to avoid oxidation between the screw and light body

[0.75 lb] Super amazingly feature packed light that has a small footprint (read no fussing with a ballast and cable) and weighs much less than competition and is far easier to set up. If you are working alone or with a smaller crew you will appreciate this light! It does it all and does it well. If you are worried about brightness, don’t! Get out the other fixtures and do a side by side comparison ...you’ll have to get out a meter to tell the difference.

[0.75 lb] If you are in a tight budget and you need a skypanel,
This is a mre affordable alternative

[9.7 x 7 x 3.3"] My old pair wore out and I really loved the way they work. B&H had exactly what I needed and am very happy to have a new set.

[0.75 lb] I have a couple of these, and they're the most reliable lights in my kit. It's the best of the S60, without the need to buy separate add-ons.
