Erik Naso had a look at Smoke Genie at CineGear 2022. Smoke Genie is a portable, battery-powered fogger/hazer. It is designed to generate and place small amounts of fog/haze directly where you need it.

The device has separate controls for the amount of fluid being used and the strength of the fan.

There is also a wide array of accessories that you can use with Smoke Genie to create different effects.

The Smoke Genie Professional Kit comes in a nice hard case with accessories, however, it isn’t cheap. It retails for $750 USD.
