[Shoulder Strap] This is a great product! Thank you.

[Shoulder Strap] This is such a wonderful light. Remove the diffusers and two of these can light up a person in the shade when the background is in full sun. But the best thing is that because it's an RGB light, the skin tones are lovely.

[Shoulder Strap] I use this with the Gemini 1x1 hard. That light draws a lot. I first tried this single plate with the batteries I had and it could not keep the light on at full power for long. So I returned it and bought the double plate. But for travel, the double takes more space, so after some research, I gave the single plate another change. You need a battery with high draw. The Anton Bauer 243w T batteries won't handle it, because they only go up to 12a, but the Core SWX 293 can reach 16a peak, so it can handle the light at full power just fine. I hear the Anton Bauer XT batteries can also handle it, because they have a high draw. Doesn't really matter the WH of the battery, that just determines for how long. Just make sure your batteries can go past 12a.

[Zipper] Super versatile light. No problem putting it through diffusion or using as a powerful background pop. The colors and effect are an obvious advantage too.

[Black] Great build quality, great protection. Perfect for when you only need to carry one Astra. 

I fit an Astra 6x and soft box in the main compartment, a Matthews MERF Mini Extendable Reverse Stand in the side pocket, and the Astra AC Cable, a 25ft stinger, & a 5lb sandbag in the front pocket. You could easily thrown a v-mount or gold mount batt in the other side pocket.

Has a built in handgrip and comes with a padded attachable shoulder strap as well. $30 cheaper than the LitePanels version of their single light carry case. Definitely recommend.

[Shoulder Strap] Just when I thought the Litepanels Astra6X was the answer to my 1x1 LED prayers, the Gemini Hard was announced. I've been using the Gemini Hard fixture for a few months and couldn't be happier with the power and versatility it provides. With more output power than the Astra6X, shooting through a fully baffled lightbank, silk, or gridcloth provides an outstanding amount of light. The CRI is the same high quality you'd expect from a LitePanels LED. The RGB functionality is also a plus if you need to use the Gemini as a gel source for a color splash, or if you need to add some minus green or magneta to help match ambient lighting. The fixture is simple to use, the dimming is effective down to 1%, and the build quality is outstanding.

[4.105 lb] We use these at work, and I bought this one for myself because they're super adorable, roomy, and they have a side pocket for a light stand. It's a very solid product that you'll use for years.

[Yes] This is the 2nd case I bought. It costs more than the Portabrace case but it's well worth it. It might be hard to tell from the photos but the front of the Gemini fits snuggly into the padding. I wish there was a big pocket on the outside like the Portabrace version, but hands down, it's still worth the extra cost.
