4. Setup
4.1 Installazione di batterie
- Locate the battery compartment on the rear of the RL48-B unit.
- Aprite a tappa di u compartimentu di a batteria.
- Inserite 3 pile AA, assicurendu a polarità curretta (+/-).
- Chiudere in modu sicuru u coperchiu di u compartimentu di a batteria.
Figura 3: Posteriore view of the RL48-B, indicating the battery compartment.
4.2 Installazione di filtri
- Select the desired Lee filter from the provided kit.
- Insert the filter into the designated filter holder slot on the front of the RL48-B.
- Ensure the filter is seated properly and securely.
The RL48-B includes a filter-holder for easy attachment of the supplied Lee Filters. These filters allow for adjustment of color temperature (CTO, CTB) and light intensity (Neutral Density), as well as diffusion.
5. Operazione
5.1 Accensione / spegnimentu
To power on the Rotolight RL48-B, locate the power button on the side of the unit and press it. Press again to power off.
5.2 Adjusting Light Output (Dimming)
The RL48-B's light output can be accurately dimmed using the supplied Neutral Density (ND) filters. These filters reduce the light intensity over a range of 1.5 aperture stops. Experiment with different ND filters to achieve the desired brightness.
5.3 Aghjustà a temperatura di culore
The included Lee Filters allow for precise color temperature adjustments:
- Lee 205, 3200 CTO: Converts daylight (5600K) to Tungsten (3200K) for warmer tones.
- Lee 218 CTB: Converts Tungsten (3200K) to Daylight (5600K) for cooler tones.
- Lee 216 Diffusion: Softens the light output.
- 279 1/8 Minus Green: Corrects for green casts from fluorescent lighting.
Select and insert the appropriate filter based on your desired color temperature and lighting conditions.
5.4 Opzioni di muntatura
The RL48-B offers flexible mounting solutions:
- Shotgun Microphone Mount: The unit mounts natively over a shotgun microphone.
- Scarpa d'accessori: Using the optional Rotolight stand (sold separately), it can be mounted via an accessory shoe on a camera.
- Tripod/Lighting Stand: The optional Rotolight stand also allows mounting onto a standard tripod or lighting stand.
- Rail Support System: Can be integrated into a rail support system with appropriate adapters.
