Cine Gear Connect NY 2026 ✨
Our days in New York were filled with great energy and new connections with industry professionals // @tonymikh
➤ This year marked an important milestone for us: for the first time, we introduced our new spring release, PixelMat 82 at Cine Gear / NYC.
➤ The response was super strong. PixelMat attracted a lot of attention on the booth, especially for its ultra-thin, flexible design and the ability to create soft light in spaces where traditional fixtures simply don’t work.
➤ Alongside PixelMat, we showcased our core systems, including ColorPipes and bi-color lighting solutions, giving visitors a full look at the Pipe Lighting ecosystem.
We truly appreciate everyone who stopped by, tested the fixtures, and shared feedback, it means a lot to us.
After a wonderful time in New York, we are happy to meet all of you at Cine Gear Expo LA 2026 on June 5th and 6th.
Stay tuned, and see you at the Universal Studios Lot!
Our team is now following up on all conversations and will be in touch very soon.
See you on the next set! 🖤

Flying Pipe Clouds over Saint Petersburg ⛅️
Historic palace. High ceilings. Complex architecture.
And the challenge: achieve clean, even top fill without damaging interiors or building heavy rigging structures.
On this setup: 4 × Pipe Cloud 1515.
A massive, ultra-soft overhead source delivering stable, beautiful fill light, without truss systems, without invasive mounting, without risk to historical elements.
☁️ Inflate. Lift. Shoot.
Need to move? Repositioned to the next hall in minutes.
New configuration? Adjusted on the spot.
Fast. Safe. Budget-efficient.

Pipe Cloud 1515 🌸 power meets softness.
Chasing daylight // the PipeWide way.
On the set of “Inkubus”, the Abschlussfilm 2024 of HMS Hamburg Media School, a double PipeWide 88 setup (2 × 2.40 × 2.40 m) rises above the location - creating a wide, stable and beautifully soft daylight source that holds the scene together from dawn to dusk.
With the sun shifting quickly, this configuration gave the team the consistency they needed. Two large bi-color units, lifted high, replacing massive frames and diffusions, delivering natural ambience straight through windows and across facades.
True softness. Zero hotspots. Fast setup.
Perfect for outdoor cinematography and demanding shooting schedules.

🎓 HMS Hamburg Media School // Abschlussfilm 2024
Magic hour, extended. 🌤️✨
On set for Volkswagen - turning winter into pure cinematic magic ✨ ✨
What looks like a quiet suburban street transforms into a full-scale film set the moment the rig rises.
Our Pipe Helium 1515 Cloud // here filled with air and rigged - becomes the hero of the night, floating above the scene and shaping the perfect winter light.
Artificial snow, a Christmas tree wrapped in lights, and the softness of a massive weightless overhead… everything works together to build a world that feels real and just a little enchanted.
Even in the cold, even in the dark - the scene stays consistent, beautiful, and ready for the camera.
Winter Atmosphere ❄️
