Maxima Rapida
Agile. Weatherproof. Cinematic.
The only battery-first lamp to deliver cinematic lighting, anywhere you go.
Our most compact light, still unmistakably Maxima.
Built on the legacy of our cinematic powerhouses, Furiosa and Maxima 6, Rapida was designed from the ground up to bring that same uncompromising light quality to an entirely new workflow. From remote locations to fast paced wedding setups, Maxima Rapida allows you to streamline your hybrid photo/video creation with an unprecedented ease-of-use.
And at just 1.8kg, Rapida fits in your backpack so naturally you’ll forget it’s there — until you need it.
Studio power. On-location freedom.
Still compatible with all your light modifiers.
Power it via the integrated driver or go untethered with V-Mount batteries. In both setups, you get the same pristine, Maxima-grade output, whether you’re in your studio or out chasing the shot. Thanks to best-in-class efficiency and our patented thermal management system, Rapida maximizes batteries run-time while minimizing energy use and environmental impact.
Mount any of your favourite accessories directly, from Bowens® to Profoto® to other top brands: Rapida lets you apply the same techniques you use in photography to create stunning cinematic motion pictures.

Goodbye setup times. Welcome PivotMount!
Thanks to Rapida’s ultralight design, the new PivotMount equipped on Rapida is much faster than Yoke mounts typically found in continuous lights. A single locking handle controls the entire pivoting mechanism, enabling smooth and secure 180° tilt adjustments in seconds. This is especially valuable when Rapida is mounted on boom poles or in hard-to-reach setups.
Beyond tilt control, the PivotMount doubles as a convenient handgrip, making Rapida ideal for quick, run-and-gun lighting maneuvers during fast-paced shoots. Designed for full compatibility, it mounts effortlessly to virtually any stand on the market—including C-Stands, 16mm baby spigots, and 28mm TV mounts—ensuring seamless integration into any lighting kit.
Always in your kit and ready when you are.
At just 31 centimeters of total length and 1.8 kg of weight, Maxima Rapida is so light and nimble to perfectly fit into most camera kits, while still allowing plentiful of space for accessories, optics and cameras.
The clever cheese plate at the back, with 3 different threading options and nothing less than 13 mounting points, allows for mounting of a vast array of accessories and grips: from Maxima’s own PivotMount 2.0 to mini-tripods, from boom poles to magic arms of different brands and sizes.
