The Anton/Bauer ULTRALIGHT is the first and only camera mounted light designed specifically to work with any available light to create truly studio quality images. Virtually all interior locations are lit totally from above which creates objectionable shadows on the foreground subjects making it impossible to achieve professional quality video. Studio lighting, on the other hand, is a careful blend of light from above and light from the front that eliminates these shadows. The unique and innovative design features of the Ultralight create studio quality images under virtually all available light conditions. Equally impressive to the cameraman, the Ultralight achieves this vast improvement in visual quality without adding any perceptible weight, bulk, or external cables.
ULTRALIGHT 2 The Ultralight 2 is designed specifically for camera mounting. This compact super-lightweight (only 10 oz.) version of the Anton/Bauer Ultralight system shares many of the features and accessories of the original Ultralight. A patented universal mounting system for 1/4-20 or shoe-type mounting is standard - eliminating the need for special studs or adapters. With the head module removed, the Ultralight 2 can be folded into itself like a pocket knife and practically disappears into the camera handle. Thus, unlike any other light, the Ultralight 2 can remain mounted and connected to the camera at all times, even when the camera is in the case. The integral PowerTap cable plugs directly into the PowerTap receptacle on all Gold Mounts and is available in three lengths as indicated below. The Ultralight 2 comes complete with universal mounting system, one head module, one BAB bulb (25 watt Flood), and integral PowerTap cable. Follow steps in Build a Battery System to identify the proper cable length for your camera.
UL2-6. Ultralight 2 camera mounted light with integral 6" PowerTap cable. For use with Sony cameras with built in PowerTap. Comes standard with diffused glass.
UL2-20. Ultralight 2 camera mounted light with integral 20" PowerTap cable. Fits most one piece camcorders. Comes standard with diffused glass.
UL2-28. Ultralight 2 camera mounted light with integral 28" PowerTap cable. For larger camcorders, dockable camera/VTR setups and for use with XL wedge and UL-2 wedge mounts. Comes standard with diffused glass.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
UltraDAYlight HMI Head Module With UltraDAYlight the high efficiency of HMI lighting can be added to any Ultralight system by simply changing head modules - a patented Ultralight exclusive.
The UltraDAYlight head module fits any Ultralight base to instantly deliver 5600°K light at less than half the power required of tungsten/halogen - without the need for dichroic adaptors. Uniquely designed to share power from camera battery using the PowerTap on every camera Gold Mount. Instantly change from daylight to tungsten and back by swapping head modules - no twisting, turning or handling of bulbs. And since the rugged Ultralight head modules house and protect the bulbs, they can be stored in the head module until next use. The UltraDAYlight head module is a unit - 25 watt bulb and ballast all in one. Perfect for daylight fill situations, the UltraDAYlight can be converted to tungsten with the UL-GF and UL-GELKIT (not included). UltraDAYlight also features a unique color temperature adjustment which allows the ballast to adjust the color temperature of the light, compensating for bulb variations and aging. Specifications: 5600K nominal color temperature. 350 footcandles at 3 ft (1m), 25 watt ballast.
UltraDAYlight Head Module. Size: 5.60" x 2.62" x 2.22" (14.22 x 5.92 x 6.65cm), weight: 13oz., (380g)
ULTRALIGHT DIMMER This new UltraLight accessory allows the adjustment of light output from 0-100%. It’s microprocessor controlled PWM (pulse-width modulation) circuit minimizes power loss and is designed to be used with any UltraLight in the field. With the push of a button, a low and a high output setting can be pre-programmed anywhere between 0 and 100%. With this feature, quick and exact light settings can be established before the shot allowing for quick light transitions without fumbling or need to “dial-it-in”. UL-Dimmer fits any camera with a universal ¼-20 or standard shoe type mount. Fitting underneath the light its innovative bevel design provides for additional down angle of the light while moving the light forward to avoid lens shadows. UL dimmer is fully compatible with the Automatique feature standard in most Gold Mounts and has an auto shut off in the case of a low voltage battery. (Not for use with UltraDAYlight head.) 4 5/8”L x 1 7/16”W x 1”H, 5.6 oz. (11.8L x 3.7W x 2.5H cm, 160g)
