I purchased the SkyPanel S30-C primarily because the S60-C seemed too large to travel with, as all our shoots are on location. I'm very happy with this purchase. The features are endless. I love the plethora of accessory options and already have the DOP Choice 40 degree Snapgrid, and intensifier panel, which I use some combination there of even with the standard (included) diffusion panel for each shoot. Primarily interviews indoors and outdoors thus far and have been very pleased with the results each time. If just using the light out of the box the wide angle soft source fills much of an entire room and spills light almost in a 180 degree angle, so the grid was an immediate no-brainer for me to acquire. I was able to save parts of the foam packaging from Arri and modified it (trimmed it) and now put the Skypanel inside a Pelican 1610 case. I ditched the included yoke mount and got the center yoke mount with makes traveling and placing in the Pelican case much easier because it comes on and off without tools, which is a space saver. The center yoke mount does require a 1-1/8 spigot on your stand. I hope to purchase more of these lights when budgets allow.

I would highly recommend this case.

The expensive SkyPanel S30-C is the best investment in the lighting kit you could choose!

Great barndoors for the S30 They are not light, they have some weight to them and they are made to last a lifetime !

Great case that fits everything you need to operate your SkyPanel. Not having to remove the yolk is fantastic!

I bought this case because I couldn't find a Pelican case that was big enough for the SkyPanel unless I remove the yoke. Keeping the yoke intact was very important for me since most of our video shoots require a quick set-up/tear down. ARRI makes stuff right, and this case is no exception. It provides space for your SkyPanel, 3 diffusion panels (4 if you keep one panel on your light), power supply, and a side area for storing cables or small accessories.

It’s an absolute necessity. Best case for the money.

great for organizing and protects fragile grids very well.


Plastic label slots could be a little more durable

This case is great holds everything needed including a couple extra stingers.

This is the ultimate light. A light that literally will do anything you could possibly want, need or ask of a professional light. The only concerns I had before I got my hands on this S30-C was will this be too heavy? and Is this going to be bright enough?. But I am very pleased that it isn't as heavy as I imagined. Putting the power supply on the back of the light does make it heavier but that is optional if you get the accessory that allows you to attach to a c-stand. Light output was very impressive and if I need more I will purchase the Intensifier Panel to get 50% more output. I recommend buying the barn doors since the light really goes everywhere.
