BeamZ ICE1200 MKII 1200W Low Fog Machine

Low-lying fog for cinematic floor effects

BeamZ ICE1200 MKII 1200W Low Fog Machine is designed to create dense, ground-hugging fog rather than the higher, room-filling cloud produced by a conventional smoke machine. It uses standard water-based fog fluid together with ice cubes, which cool the smoke before it leaves the machine. Because the cooled fog is heavier than the surrounding air, it stays close to the floor for longer and creates a soft, rolling layer that can look especially effective in music videos, commercials, stage productions, events and stylized film scenes.

With a 1200 W heater and an output of approximately 125 m³ per minute, the machine can build a visible low-fog effect quickly without requiring dry ice or a large professional low-fog system. It is particularly useful for shots where the floor itself is part of the composition: entrances, slow-motion movement, dance scenes, product reveals, backlit silhouettes or wide shots where the fog should remain below the performer rather than filling the entire frame.

Ice-cooled fog with simple wired control

The front chamber is filled with ice, which cools the smoke as it passes through the machine. This simple mechanical approach makes the ICE1200 MKII easy to operate and keeps the effect predictable on smaller productions. The supplied wired remote control allows an assistant to trigger the fog from a short distance, making it straightforward to coordinate the effect with camera movement, lighting cues or talent.

Because the effect depends on both fog output and cooling, the final look will vary with room temperature, airflow, the amount of ice used and the type of fog fluid. For the strongest floor-hugging result, the unit works best in interiors with limited drafts. Strong ventilation, open doors or fast-moving air can cause the fog to rise or disperse more quickly.

Practical rental set for film, photo and events

Our rental package includes the BeamZ ICE1200 MKII, power cable, wired remote control and 1 litre of fog fluid. Ice is not included, so it should be prepared separately before the shoot. The machine can be positioned just outside the frame and used for repeated bursts as required, making it a practical option for scenes that need a controllable low-fog effect without the logistics of a larger special-effects setup.

For best results, allow enough space around the machine for ventilation and keep the fog outlet clear of people, fabrics and sensitive equipment. When using theatrical fog indoors, always check the location’s ventilation rules and smoke-detector procedures before the shoot.
