FAQ

You have physical controls for dimming and for switching on and off. All the other operations, including FXes and status monitoring are done via the remote control app (iOS and Android). The idea behind this is that Maxima 7 body will last for many years to come while its COB LED may be replaced for better units that will eventually come out over time, so we went for the bare minimum controls on the lamp body and move every other control to the software app which yields far better versatility and is certainly more future-proof.

Fan noise depends of fan RPM, their shape and topology and, no need to say, their quality. There indeed exist ultra low noise fans which allow for the same cooling efficiency of the noisy fans we currently know of: those are exactly the fans we used for Maxima 7 😉

Yes it does, so you can use it with any standard accessory you already have, including soft boxes, open face intensifiers, modifiers and so on. The S-Type Bowens mount is easily removed from the outer body and we might decide to manufacture other rings in the future to suit different standards.

Only an App for mobile devices which is currently being developed, the remote control will be a feature we are going to add in the future.

For what concerns Tm-30 we have a detailed list of data at our specs page.

We use a very high efficiency COB LED with an advanced thermal management coupled with a truly special heatsink made of pure copper that we designed from scratch using state-of-the-art, software thermal analysis and FEA (Finite Elements Analysis) simulations. We do all this research, development and testing internally in our labs. No other LED fixture in the market today uses such an advanced heatsink.

Maxima is a purpose-built team originating from visionary Cinestudio movie production company committed to design and manufacture high-efficiency LED fixtures to replace HMIs. We have been working on this project for the past two years. The idea of such a product was born out of our regular job as film-makers for the movie and advertising industry: we love HMIs but sometimes they are unpractical and less than desirable, to say the least, on locations where budget, resources and space is limited.

While we conduct extensive and prolonged water resistance tests on every Maxima unit to ensure bottom-line fault tolerance to water and spills, Maxima 3 is not to be considered water-proof and should never be used under pouring rain or in extremely damp conditions: using Maxima in such conditions can lead to damages to the unit and even risk of injuries and/or death. Always refer to the user manual for full usage conditions and important safety warnings. If your Maxima unit has come in contact with rain, please disconnect it from mains power and wait at least one minute before handling it. Please get in touch with your Maxima dealer or directly with us before attempting to turn it on again.

In the very unlikely event that the product you have received is faulty or damaged you are entitled to a full refund which also covers the shipping costs you paid during checkout at Maxima website. In order to receive the refund we kindly ask you to follow the guidelines you find in the terms and conditions page within 14 days from the date you received the product.

You are also entitled to a refund for the cost of the product if, for whatever reason, you are not totally satisfied with your purchase at Maxima (“No-Questions-Asked” return). Such requests shall be issued within 14 days from the date you received the product. Terms and conditions apply.

At the moment we don’t have plans for accessories but, since Maxima 3 has a Bowens mount (see the previous answer) at the front you can mount every standard accessory you already have. The S-Type Bowens mount is easily removed from the outer body and we will manufacture other rings in the future to suit different standards.

Only an App for mobile devices which is available for both iOS and Android, the remote control will be a feature we are going to add in the future.
