There are a lot of impressive features everyone can expect to find in the new Maverick Storm 1 Flex, from its jaw-dropping zoom range (2.6° to over 50°) to its dual gobo wheels, to its layerable prisms, to its ability to produce true reds, but there is one thing that no one will ever see with this powerhouse fixture–hot spots.
The latest addition to the celebrated Maverick Storm family, the new fully-featured IP65 rated spot/beam/wash projects a totally solid, flat even field of light from its LED engine, which is used instead of a lamp, so there are absolutely no ugly hotspots, even at the most narrow zoom. That makes this fixture very well-suited to address an issue commonly faced in broadcast applications in addition to excelling on tours.
Regardless of whether it’s an ultra-tight beam or a wide spot, the Maverick Storm 1 Flex with its advanced lens technology projects a consistently even field light that makes it easy to blend multiple units of this fixture together for beautifully balanced aerial or textured wall effects.
Thanks to its balanced hot-spot-free light, this versatile fixture can produce sharp, crisp gobos (both static and rotating) at the tightest zoom, opening the creative door to the kind of super focused aerial effects that set any lighting design apart from the pack.
As for the dual gobo wheels themselves, they feature seven rotating positions and 10 static positions for even greater design flexibility, particularly when paired with the vivid colors the fixture can produce. For added creative possibilities, the fixture even has one combination static-and-rotating combination gobo that can be used for mood- setting gradient effects.
This rugged, tour-ready fixture is loaded with features, including a variable CMY+CTO color mixing system, CRI and CTB filters on its color wheel, as well as a higher CRI chip for or added color rendering flexibility. As a result of its color rendering capabilities, the Maverick Storm 1 Flex has a unique ability to produce true reds.
There is also an animation wheel that produces richly textured effects, and digital dimming with a 16-bit dimming of the master dimmer for seamless control of fades.
In keeping with the Maverick Storm 1 Flex’s user-friend personality, the fixture offers DMX, CRMX, sACN, and Art-Net for full flexibility of control options. There is also RDM control over DMX for fixture reporting. A true time-saver for crews is the fixture’s three setup menu presets and preset sync for cross loading to multiple like fixtures, which engenders easy shop setup.
With features like these, the Maverick Storm 1 Flex offers everything a lighting professional would expect in a modern versatile fixture, and then some! Except, of course, the hot spots.
