    • @WestcottLighting

      The cameras listed on our website are those that have undergone comprehensive testing to ensure full compatibility with our system. While many other cameras may also work seamlessly with our system, they have not been subjected to the same thorough testing process.

    Hello, I am toying with this idea and using a grid seems to be the way to do it. I want to create a colomn of light installing a softbox overhead with a narrow grid, pointing squarely at the floor, hoping that someone could move while being only partly lit or fully lit. Could it work? any comment ? Thanks

    Thanks for the video clarifying that the center pole should not be extended all the way. I do think that should be noted/updated in the paper instructions which just says to extend each arm fully and doesn't make any specific mention of the center pole. Nevertheless, excited to use it!
