MAX DISCOUNT on all Gemini 1X1 and 2X1 fixtures and kits unlocked! Up to 27% off!

Hey hey, Travis here and I’m back with something that I’ve gotten dozens of emails, texts, DMs and comments asking about. The 2nd annual Litepanels Gemini Summer Group Buy!

XAEvKko.png


The Gemini 2X1 has already become an industry standard and an instant classic. Not only are we offering the original Gemini at special group buy pricing again but we’re adding the brand new 1X1 version as well. Both lights are available a la carte or in custom packages we’ve put together to save you even more $$$.

A quick note regarding pricing. All Litepanels prices have gone up a bit from last year due to import tariffs and they’re scheduled to go up AGAIN on July 1st. However, we’ve locked in pricing here to guarantee you won’t miss out on this deal. In addition, we get an additional 2% off on all Gemini packages (up to 27% off), which is an incredible deal on a light that’s brand new to the market.

For those who aren’t as familiar with the Gemini yet, let me show you a video shot by my good friend Morgan Cooper using his Litepanels Gemini 2X1s. You might have seen it already as it went viral and has led to some incredible things for Coop, including meeting The Fresh Prince himself!

Here’s Bel-Air.


The brand new Gemini 1X1 takes all the features you love about the original 2X1 and puts it in a portable package for travel or to use with your V-Mount or Gold-Mount batteries in situations where you need to be extremely mobile or don’t have access to house power.

Here’s a short video that will give you a better idea of the size of the 1X1 and it’s versatility on set.


I own several of the original 2X1 Geminis and bring at least one on every set with me. The Geminis are incredibly versatile due to their power output and deep menu system where each gel and effect can be customized down to every last detail. The lights are so powerful that I often find myself using it at below 15% brightness with both a DoP Choice Snapbag and Snapgrid attached. However, if the scene calls for more light, an open-faced Gemini punched into the ceiling or off a Superbounce does a great job at bringing up the overall levels in a room in a naturalistic way.

The 1X1 has been very thoughtfully laid out and contains all the same deeply customizable gels, colors and effects in a package around 1/3 of the size and weight of the original 2X1 unit. Here’s another short demo of the Gemini 1X1 in action on a set where access to house power wasn’t available.


I’ll be going live on Instagram over the next few days answering questions about the 1X1 so find me @traviswears and hit me up with anything particular you want to know or see my demo for you on either size fixture and I’ll make it happen.

Now, onto the deal!

- - -

This group buy starts on June 24th and runs until July 27th. There is NO LIMIT to the amount of lights that can be purchased at these prices but the deal ends at midnight on July 14th so please tell your friends so they don’t miss out.

Again with this Gemini deal you can purchase a 2X1 or a 1X1 unit a la carte OR pick up one of the bundles we’ve put together. Our discount on the Gemini fixtures themselves is 15%, 20% or 25% depending on what tier we unlock. On the bundles, you’ll save an extra 2% on each package, so that would be equivalent to 17%, 22% and 27% off. Cheers to Litepanels and Adorama for working with us to create the best deal possible on these lights. Getting great film equipment into your hands is our ultimate goal here.

FAQ Section

Q. How do I order?
A. Just comment below with your order! If you're buying a kit please specify which kit # you'd like and if there are batteries or battery plates, please specify which mount style you prefer. And then DM me with your email and phone info and I'll be in touch with order info when we hit the top tiers, thanks!

Q. Is there a delay when switching gels, fx or hue/saturation while in color mode?
A. I haven't experienced any delay at all. Check my IG stories for a live video where I demonstrate how quickly the colors transition.

Q. Does the Litepanels Gemini have the same issues that other RGB-W fixtures have when it comes to processing "white light"
A. Quote from the newsshooter review article "We are starting to see a lot more lighting companies using RGB-W technology. RGB-W stands for Red, Green, Blue & Warm White. Most LED lights on the market create white light by mixing red, green, and blue, which unless it is done well, can create undesirable colour spikes. With most RGB-W, an extra white chip is added into the mix. By mixing all four, a wide range of colours can be created and in theory, the light produced when all four are at full brightness should appear to be almost white. With the Litepanels Gemini, the fixture is RGB-WW, and they they use 5 chips, not 4. The extra chip means the Gemini not only has warm white chip, but also a white chip. This is different than say the ARRI SkyPanel, where they are actually mixing colors to obtain white.

Q. Is this deal available outside the US?
A. Sorry, US-residents only this time around. Apologies.

Q. When will I get my equipment?
A. All orders will be processed in the order of payment received. If we reach our goal early, I’ll begin sending out the coupon codes and payment instructions early. Lights and kits are in-stock and ready to ship, however some of the battery products may experience a slight delay. Batteries themselves are in-stock, but some of the V-Mount plates and chargers may need an additional window so please be prepared for that!

Q. Who is processing this order? How much is shipping?
A. Adorama is fulfilling this order and shipping is free to the lower 48!

Is the battery bracket for the 2x1 included in this group buy? I’ve been wanting to buy one but I can’t find any info on the runtime with the Gemini and two 190w or 150w gold mount batteries.

About 300Wh per hour. Largely depends on a variety of factors however. I got two hours off of two 150Wh at a specific color and it just sort of ran. Max draw is 325 watts at full power on the 2x1.

<3 thanks Phil. Yes, we can add the dual-battery bracket to the GB. Pricing to come.

Awesome, Thanks guys. For now, I will take a 2x1 gold mount bracket when the option is available.
 
this is an insane spread on this GB offering! way to go Travis
 
Incredibly interesting. Almost every show I've done in the last two years they rent arri skypanels... I'm wondering how interchangeable this would be in the rental market??

Featurewise it seems pretty similar?? Thoughts?

Spencer, they are very similar in features and performance to an ARRI Skypanel S60. I did see a test where the S60 has a slightly higher output than the 2x1 Gemini, but not by much. I think these are catching momentum in the rental market, but I think most DP's still prefer the S60 if given a choice.

I have 3X of the 2X1 Geminis and they rent all the time and get asked for by name often. Both on my own shows and here in KC on overflow productions where they need additional RGBW lighting. I've been asked for a Skypanel by a few clients and swapped in a Gemini every time with no issues. They're nearly identical but I prefer the ergonomics of the Gemini and the fact that the ballast is built-into the unit. Skypanels are great too of course! But Geminis are my personal favorite light on the market.
