Hudson Spider Mozzie Bi-Color Double Deluxe Kit
Accessories: Parabolic Backing, Eggcrate, diffusion, half grid, 43" silver umbrella; Optional 65" parabolix kit
Made for studio shooting that requires you to morph your light source, the Hudson Spider Mozzie Bi-Color Double Deluxe Kit has two aluminum fixtures with wide color range as well as both wired and wireless DMX. Each head really does look like a six-legged spider with legs that can be brought in, covered with the included black backing, and used in either parabolic mode or opened flat like a star for a wall of light. The fixtures break down into a tube, and come with a 400W ballast and splitter cable, a parabolic backing, an eggcrate grid, a teaser, a hand grip, two Baby Pins, and two umbrellas. It all fits in a waterproof case with a custom insert.
Developed by cinematographers, gaffers, and grips, the kit by Hudson Spider is built around a fixture that measures 29" in diameter and can be set up in five minutes. The fixture's six hinged aluminum and steel arms can be arranged in a parabolic shape for a total of 1224 closely spaced LEDs that combine to create a soft continuous light source. In addition to softness, the Mozzie has a unique wraparound quality, snappy contrast, and a crisp specular quality that some have called "magical" while most refer to it simply as a beauty light.
