Elation Professional MAGMA PRIME 700W Water-Based Haze Machine

When it’s the right call

Instant production value — haze makes light visible: beams through blinds, glowing backlights, and depth that separates your subject from the background. There's a reason it's on virtually every professional set.

Where to set it up

Run it, let the haze settle into an even veil (kill fans/HVAC while it settles), and backlight the scene — haze reads best against the light. Water-based fluid, easy on rooms and lungs.

Get the most out of it

• Less is more: build up in short bursts and let it even out
• Wide shots need more haze than close-ups — re-level between setups
• Mind smoke detectors: isolate or notify before you fill a room
• Backlight + haze + Fresnel = visible beams on demand
