Super compact for anything from a gimbal to studio mode, this surprisingly impressive new version is rugged, efficient, and renders a gorgeous image. Used on major motion pictures like Top Gun Maverick and others. I've used it side by side with my Arri Alexa LF and Canon C500ii and it cuts beautifully. Great low light performance and battery usage. Comes with internal variable ND, SDI out module and TC and Audio adapters as well as a gold mount for larger battery support for accessories and wooden Rvlvr grip for easy settings operation at your fingertips: iris, eND, ISO, and color temp.

Luke is the best! From the moment I picked up the Arri M18, he took time to help explain how to use it and was very thorough. He was also prompt on communication and very accommodating on the lighting rental.

Went with a friend and ran into some old contacts. Was an interesting mixer, Luke was charming and knowledgeable for sure. Felt like an appropriate price for a chill hangout with other BK filmmakers. Would love to catch another one, but I also think I have an idea for how these could be a bit more interactive without being intrusive..plz follow up. Thanks for a great time!

Uncompromised Creative

This class was fun and informative. Luke had a direct, plainspoken way of sharing insights that had an overall effect of demystifying his lighting wizardry. I also took away some practical tips that I imagine I will keep forever. The mixer portion was a bit crowded, so I didn't stay long there. But overall, time and money well spent.

Very knowledgable and entertaining DP - a great start to the Kitsplit workshop series. I was expecting the class to be more hands on and was surprised that 80 or so people were there. Smaller classes that cover multiple lighting setups (that are shorter, more affordable) would be great!
