Robe’s extreme solution

A moving light rig from Robe helped light the way at a festival of extreme sports in South Africa. The Ultimate X festival took place at the Grand Arena in Cape Town over two days, and featured freestyle motocross, BMX and skateboarding.

A combination of 42 Robe moving lights were used, including four BMFL Spots and four miniPointes. The BMFLs were positioned on the edges of the main rig as their powerful beams could deal with the extreme throw distances and the 10 metre trim height. The spots also lit the FMX ‘kicker’ – or launch ramps.
