Maxima Spectra

Portable. Lightweight. Supercharged.
The most compact cinematic light: born in the studio, ready for the world.

Our most compact light, still unmistakably Maxima.

Maxima Spectra is the smallest and most advanced light we ever produced: designed from the ground up to bring that same uncompromising light quality that’s been a hallmark to Maxima to an entirely new workflow. From outdoor locations to fast paced wedding setups, Maxima Spectra allows you to streamline your hybrid photo/video creation with an unprecedented ease-of-use.

And at just 1.4kg, Spectra fits in your backpack so naturally you’ll forget it’s there – until you need it.

Studio power. On-location freedom. At the speed of a swap.

Swap the integrated driver with virtually any V-Mount battery in less than 5 seconds and take the same lighting setup you had in the studio to any outdoor location as well. Thanks to best-in-class efficiency and our patented thermal management system, Spectra maximizes batteries run-time while minimizing energy use and environmental impact. This unique combination of technological achievements allows you to reach power levels that were before considered the realm of heavyweight cinema equipment.

With just 200W of power consumption and a staggering 25.000 lumens output, Maxima Spectra is arguably the most efficient portable solution to illuminate your scene, be it in your studio or in controlled outdoor environments.

You don't need backup to make it cinematic.

For those who don’t wait for generators or assistants: just results, the Maxima way.

  • Portable.

  • Customizable.

  • Cinematic.

Even more more modularity with Spectra double cheese-plate.

The beloved bottom cheese-plate first introduced with Maxima Rapida, allowing you to rig Maxima in a multitude of different configurations and grips, now doubles down on Spectra, with a specular cheese-plate at the top too. This added cheese-plate allows you to, for example, install the Pivot-Mount at the top for using in a briefcase style grip, or to further extend the low-hanging positioning possibilities of such a remarkably small light.

These clever cheese-plates, with 3 different threading options and nothing less than 13 mounting points each, allow 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.

26 Mounting points

One touchscreen monitor. One unified interface.

Easily check your Spectra settings from a distance thanks to the new color touch screen: adjusting parameters and accessing enhanced features, such as effects and battery operation performance, has never been easier. All of the features that were previously available only via the App are now accessible from the built-in touch screen which also allows you to trigger effects, set and recall your most used temperature and dimming combinations and adjust Spectra performance to perfectly match the battery you are using.

All of this is paired with our usual, renowned mechanical controls for dimming and color temperature, giving you the best of both worlds.
