Product description:

NEO 2 is a revolutionary LED light, that combines the ‘shoot what you see’ benefits of continuous light, with the flexibility of High Speed Sync (HSS) flash, for more power or to freeze action. With no recycle time, you’ll never miss a shot.  Designed for portrait photographers and videographers on the go, NEO 2 is lightweight and portable, and can be mounted both on or off camera. A built in Elinchrom Skyport flash receiver, delivers ultra reliable wireless  triggering(1/8000th) up to 200m(656ft). Powered by 6 AA batteries, DC or Dtap, NEO 2™ delivers outstanding colour reproduction, with a gorgeous soft light output and Rotolight’s signature catch light effect. Packed with innovative features, NEO 2™ includes True Aperture Dimming™, Designer Fade™ and an updated arsenal of CineSFX™ custom lighting effects (Lightning, Fire,TV etc.). 85% brighter in continuous mode than its predecessor, NEO 2 is a small light that delivers big results.

NEO 2 also includes a powerful suite of Rotolight’s patented industry first features, to maximize creative possibilities, and streamline your workflow:

• High Speed Sync Flash (HSS) provides a powerful HSS flash mode when you need more power, with zero recycle time, at up to 500%* of the maximum continuous light output for photographers. Enabling you to ‘freeze action’, and shoot at wider apertures for better subject isolation, Neo 2 eliminates the need to buy two separate products if you shoot both stills and video, as it provides an all-in-one solution.
• Unrivalled battery performance The longest battery life of an on camera flash ever made. NEO 2 provides 85,000 full power shots on a single set of AA batteries (not included) vs 250 of a typical speedlite. You’ll never be down on the job.  

• AccuColour™ LED technology ensures the NEO 2 delivers exceptional colour rendering for gorgeous skin tones (CRI:96+, TLCI 91) eliminating the need for post processing.  
• True Aperture Dimming™ calculates and displays F-stop for a subject at a given distance, eliminating the need for trial and error shooting, or a light meter. 
• CineSFX™ provides a suite of customizable cinematic lighting effects, such as lightning, fire, gunshot, paparazzi and TV flicker to enhance your video production.
• Designer Fade™ provides custom fade up/down production effects for interviews.
