Hobolite Avant Creator AC/DC Kit Summary

Hobolite kits are the ideal starting point within the Hobolite system. The Hobolite Avant Creator AC/DC Kit is the perfect lighting companion for photographers, videographers and content creators on the go, featuring extra accessories to expand the functionality of the Avant and complete your lighting setup.

This kit includes the Hobolite 14.8V V-Mount Battery. This battery charges by 20V input and has multiple output options, including USB-C, D-TAP or V-Mount. The four-level LED indicator lights on the battery give current battery life at a glance, and the included Hobolite V-Mount Clamp allows easy mounting to a light stand.

This kit also includes the Hobolite 60cm softbox with grid, which is specially designed to maximise the optics of the Avant and sets up in seconds with the easy umbrella lock. It includes a reflective interior for soft, neutral output and a removable front diffuser with an egg-crate grid for a punchy, high-contrast look with tight shadow control. Also included is the Hobolite 240cm Tripod. Crafted from aircraft-grade carbon fibre, it is very lightweight yet sturdy and durable, offering up to 4kg of load capacity. This light stand extends to an impressive 2.4m and folds down to just 55cm for easy storage and transport.

The Avant is a professional, continuous light that is as portable as it is powerful. Weighing under 1.5kg and packing 100W of power, it provides professional lighting where and when you need it. The light output ranges from 2700K – 6500K with excellent CRI. Accessory attachments can further diffuse or focus the output, and it also features an integrated V-Mount quick-release system to connect your Hobolite to different accessories, such as the V-Mount Handle for attaching the Avant to a light stand (included in this kit).

Made from aircraft-grade aluminium and with faux-leather detailing, the attention to build quality and longevity is second to none. The Avant is stylish and lightweight, yet functional and reliable, from the repairable and replaceable components to the high-quality packaging and carry cases. Additionally, Hobolite lights are built with convenience in mind, where accessories are interchangeable, and the lights can work independently or as one smart system.

The Avant is ultra-portable, so you have powerful bi-colour LED lighting for any photoshoot. The HD LCD allows for easy reading in any lighting condition, with no spill from backlighting to interfere with the scene. While the whisper-quiet fans are nearly silent while running and can even be temporarily disabled for doing video work.

NFC Tags make adding and controlling units quick and easy. Tap the fixture, open the simple-to-use Hobolite Control App and remotely assign and control groups of fixtures.
