The Rotolight Titan X2 is a giant step away from the original Rotolight in size, shape, and functionality. You could even say that with the Titan X2 Rotolight has moved from the world of indie filmmaking to high-budget studio productions. It is available in a variety of configurations: Standard Yoke, Pole Yoke, and Swan Neck. It is also available to buy as a “Rental Kit” with a hard shipping case and accessories, and this is what we’ll review here.
First Things First
The jaw-drop feature: The Titan X2 has Electronic Diffusion. What does that mean? Simple—with Smartsoft, you can vary the diffusion electronically from 100 to 0%. There’s no more swapping diffusion gels; just dial-in the amount of diffusion that you want. It is pretty stunning when you think about it. Does it work? Yes, very well. To my eye, it does seem to have a minimum level of diffusion, even at the zero setting. This isn't an issue, and something that is probably unavoidable. The diffusion works, it is a pretty neat trick, and it is consistent no matter what the brightness setting of the light.
