Our Signature Innovation: The Grip Cloud
A standout in our lineup is the Novo Grip Cloud – a soft, balloon-based diffusion system that’s become a go-to alternative to traditional overheads. Available in both our full-scale 20’ x 20’ and compact 12’ x 20’ models, Grip Clouds are built for speed, precision, and control. Whether deployed in tight urban locations or sensitive heritage sites, these systems offer safe, quick-rigging solutions with beautiful, even light – no lifts or cranes required.

From remote landscapes to night shoots on city rooftops, our balloon lighting systems are engineered to perform in real-world production environments.
