Kobold HMI in the water at the NAB Show 2009

We visited our sister company Bron Kobold, the US distributors of Kobold HMI lighting systems and the Bron Visatek monolight line of strobes, at the National Association of Broadcasters Show (NAB Show) in Las Vegas this week.   Kevin Schill from Bron Kobold was showing off all the latest and greatest in the Kobold line.  As always, the Kobold All Weather 200 watt, 400 watt, and 800 watt HMI’s were displayed under a constant rain shower.  These IP 54 rated lamp heads and ballasts are designed to be used outdoors – no need to worry about the dark clouds approaching (or the rain machines firing up).

The NAB show was filled with some really interesting new products.  The highlights for me were some new innovative LED  designs, a bunch of harnesses and accessories for the Cnaon 5d MkII, and a bunch of 3d demonstrations that were built to impress (and did).   more later…
