The Exo Skeleton project for Astera Led Tubes was born out of the experience of respected cinematographers seeking maximum creative flexibility when shooting with Astera wireless tubes.
It was produced by the R&D team at Lockcircle, a company that boasts many years of experience in the design and manufacture of "cinematography cages and accessories" for film cameras well known and shipped worldwide.
The basic idea was to push operational flexibility into an innovative mode and create a "modular modular system" around the exceptional Astera range of tubes that are known and used on film sets around the world.
Exo Skeleton is also a system designed for lighting designers who are always looking for new "inspiration" for TV shows and set designers who are looking for advanced "practical lighting" solutions with extremely fast set-up times.
Exo Skeleton is being developed along with many other revolutionary products and will become a very comprehensive system that will allow you to build any creative ideas in a very short time and express the potential of Astera wireless tubes at the highest level.
The Exo Skeleton is made from CNC machined aircraft aluminum and carbon fiber using the latest "additive manufacturing" technology.
- Exo Link, for creating endless series of Astera tubes: Helios, Titan, Hyperion.
- Exo Hold, for hanging long rows of tubes.
- Exo Cube, to create incredible three-dimensional structures.
- Exo Side, to create instantly luminous frames.
- Exo Slab, perfect for tabletop shooting, but it's also a mechanical interface.
- Exo Bone, an advanced system for more cinematic applications and set design.
- Exo Grid, an innovative 60-degree carbon fiber grid for modeling the angle of light.
- Exo Pin, a technical invention that allows the pin to be fixed in 8 different positions on the Astera Helios camera,
and 18 positions on the Astera Titan.
Many other products with innovative ideas for cinematography, television, live performances and events are in the design phase.
