Of course, you can still control the Forza 60CR via the onboard controls, the Nanlink App, the remote controller, or DMX/RDM control. However, the addition of LumenRadio CRMX capabilities can be a big one for some studios or operators when it comes to wireless control of multiple LED fixtures on set.Image credit: NANLITEPrice and availabilityThe NANLITE Forza 60CR is now available for $699, which is the same as the 60C at the time of release.
