You can connect external power and control data through a POE link using the onboard EtherCON connector.

Note that the Astera Quik family name is spelt without the ‘c’ in ‘quick’. If you are searching for the QuickBeam and it isn’t coming up, that may be why!

Ready to hire

When you hire an Astera QuikBeam 4 Way Kit from IPS it comes complete with a range of accessories. These include Yoke, Barndoor, EdgeSoftener filter and Trackpin. These all fit neatly within the peli style wheeled Astera charging flight case. Please note that if you would like to hang these fixtures, you’d need to add a suitable clamp (such as a manfrotto super clamp) and safety bond – please ask and we can add these to your hire order.

The QuikBeam is the smallest of the Quik family. IPS is the first UK hire company to offer all three fixtures and you can also hire the QuikSpot and QuikPunch from IPS here.
Full product specifications can be found on the Astera website here.
