Germany - With the Opus X4 Profile, Cameo has introduced its most powerful LED moving head to date. The new top model is a spot profile moving head with a 1,400-watt LED white-light engine which generates enormous light output of 50,000 lumens and provides powerful spot and gobo projections – even on the biggest stages.

Its little brother, the Opus X Profile, has already made impressions in the past with its 750 watts in countless live, TV, and theatre productions. The Opus X4 Profile now marks the next stage in Opus development: the combination of a 1,400-watt LED engine, 193mm front lens, and particularly large 5°–55° zoom range enables equally flexible use as a spot and as a profile moving head. At the same time, the X4 Profile is only slightly larger and heavier than the X Profile, despite its large leap in performance, and is still just as flexibl
