Used Robe BMFL LightMaster Side/Rear

The Robe BMFL LightMaster Side/Rear is an externally mounted programmable followspot handle system. It gives an operator direct physical control of a compatible BMFL fixture via two faders, four jog-wheels, activation and blackout buttons, pan and tilt freeze buttons, and ten preset buttons. A QVGA touch screen with battery backup displays settings, and custom configurations can be saved and re-uploaded.

The BMFL LightMaster Side/Rear is designed to mount on and work with the Robe BMFL Spot, Blade, WashBeam and FollowSpot models. It is not a standalone light source but an operator control accessory that attaches directly to those fixtures, making it relevant only within a BMFL-based rig.

The unit connects via a USB B connector for power and data, and an RJ45 Ethernet port for network in and out. The two faders on the handles provide 0-100% control and can be assigned to any BMFL attribute, including dimmer, iris, focus, zoom and frost.

Robe Lighting is a Czech manufacturer of moving lights and entertainment fixtures, producing moving heads, LED fixtures, followspots and related products for concerts, theatre, television and events. The BMFL LightMaster Side/Rear sits in their accessory range, designed specifically to extend operator control of the BMFL series of high-output fixtures rather than being a fixture in its own right.

Units come with a tripod adjustable from 60 cm to 110 cm, a tripod adaptor, and a spigot. Buyers should confirm whether the Side or Rear variant is listed, check the touch screen and faders function correctly, and verify the tripod and adaptor are present.
