Complementing itssimple design, each PT4c comes with two clear, 3/8- 16in threaded magnetic T12 brackets to make mounting as easy as possible. Use the magnets to attach the pixel tube to ferromagnetic surfaces or add a 3/8-16in spigot or baby pin to mount it to a lightstand. The clear design of the brackets ensure that the mounting solutions do not interfere with the quality or output of the light.
For additional mounting options, each endcap houses a 3/8-16in threaded mount. The possibilities are endless, with the ability to use
splicing connectors(2) to arrange the tubes in multiple 3D shapes, like with the amaran T2c/T4c.
The PT4c can be controlled from the new interface on the back of the tube, featuring the latest UI, or via the Sidus Link Bluetooth app that powers the rest of the Aputure and amaran product lines. This ultracapable application can control all the lights in the scene, activate stunning lighting effects, and ensure that the Pixel Tubes are always up to date.
