Rotolight NEO 3 (Starter Bundle)

Rotolight has taken on-camera lighting technology to the next level with the NEO 3. This incredibly compact light packs a punch with its continuous RGBWW LED technology and flash functionality, including high-speed sync. This powerful lighting solution is perfect for hybrid shooters who want to get the most out of their work.

Extremely Bright & Pocket-Sized

The NEO 3’s small form factor is no indication of its output. It is 3 stops brighter than its predecessor with a measured output of 5,443 lux at 3.3′ in continuous mode or 10,700 lux when set to flash. This will give both photographers and videographers the ability to better control the look of their subject.

As for size, the NEO 3 is small and designed for use on camera with a form factor that measures just 5.7″ in diameter and is under 2″ thick. A weight of 12.5 oz makes sure you aren’t weighed down.

High-Speed RGB Flash

Having access to full RGB lighting with 16.7 million colours increases the versatility of the NEO 3. Plus, you can use it in flash mode. This allows you to use the NEO 3 as a key, fill, or coloured accent to create distinct looks in your images and video. The flash functionality is on par with traditional lights as it can sync at up to 1/8,000 second shutter speed. A huge plus of the NEO 3 is that it does not require any recycle time, permitting for rapid fire imaging without any loss in light quality or power.

colour accuracy is just as important, if not more important, than variety and the NEO 3 achieves a TLCI rating of 99. This ensures accurate rendering of your subjects. If you use filters, the light offers 2500 digital options based on those from LEE and Rosco.

Intuitive Controls

On the back of the NEO 3 are all the controls you need to operate the light. Two physical knobs alongside a colour touchscreen allow you to access any of your needed settings. Save presets to quickly recall your favorite modes. Plenty of other specialized modes are available, too. You can quickly create special effects such as lightning, fire, or stick to more conventional CCT (3,000-10,000K) and HSI options.

The light uses battery power via standard NP-F style packs. These batteries are available in multiple sizes and provide long runtimes.

Wireless Sync & Operation

While on-camera operation is a key advantage of the NEO 3 it is just as comfortable off camera. The fixture has built-in wireless support using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for Rotolight HSS and Elinchrom Skyport transmitters as well as a 3.5mm sync port for wired devices.

Rotolight does make iOS and Android apps for even more control over the NEO 3, including multiple lights at the same time. These apps are able to communicate with lights as long as they are on the same Wi-Fi network.
