The X-bracket gives the bendable light panel rigidity that enables the use of light-shapers like the included softbox and grid, which attach in moments via a touch-fastener border on the front of the panel. The X-bracket has a ball head with 180° of tilt for precise aiming and a 5/8" receiver so you can mount it on most light stands.

Color temperature may be adjusted from 2750 to 6500K to match ambient lighting conditions, other light fixtures, or for creative accents. Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) mode incorporates an Auto mode which automatically adjusts the level of the daylight and tungsten LEDs as the color temperature is adjusted. Manual mode allows the intensity of each set of LEDs to be adjusted individually. The flicker-free LED panel is dimmable from 100-10% in 5% increments for precise and repeatable results.

The PortaSun V2 includes a multi-voltage AC power supply suitable for worldwide use It can also be used with a separately available V-mount battery when working on location.

The PortaSun V2 has two CCT color modes: Auto mode automatically adjusts the level of the daylight and tungsten LEDs as you change the color temperature. Manual mode controls the intensity of each set of LEDs individually.

The X-Style bracket features a ball head with 180° of tilt for precise aiming, and has a 5/8" receiver that allows the PortaSun V2 to be mounted on a light stand. The bracket provides the rigidity necessary to use the included accessory softbox and grid.

The fabric diffuser softens the light beam output and reduces multiple shadows. The 5.3" deep softbox blends the output of the individual LEDs for a more even output, while reducing spill and rendering a flattering quality of light. The grid fits on the softbox, further reducing spill, and adding directional control for more selective lighting.

Effects mode provides videographers the option of adding dramatic effects that can add realism to scenes. Seven adjustable animated effects can deliver effects to create the look of a crackling fire, multiple camera flashes at a photo shoot, a dance club strobe light, and more.
