by | Sep 27, 2017 | Aputure, IBC 2017, Lighting

Aputure was founded in 2005 and their aim is to “provide truly affordable camera accessories with the quality and functions needed to fully realize any creative vision.”

Aputure C120 d/t

The Light Storm C120 come in either a daylight or a tungsten version. It features a CRI of 97+. For an even more precise measurement, its TLCI is also rated at 97+ as well. This is pretty impressive. It has an ultra silent 18db fan and dual cooling mode.

Bowens Mount

The really cool thing about the Light Storm c120 (and the C300d) is that i has a Bowens Mount. You might know Bowens from photography. It’s the mount for crazy many softbokses and other light modifiers from traditional flash lamps. They can all be used here because the C120. I use the Light Dome from Aputure for photography, so I cant wait to try it out with a C120 or C300.Aputure-light-modifiers-bowens-mount-Filmplusgear Aputure-C120-kit-Filmplusgear-comThe C120 comes in at 1.6kgs, has a control panel seperated from the actual lamp, has a 100 m remote control and can be powered from a wall outlet or professional batterymounts: batteries of either the SONY V mount or Anton Bauer mount can be used depending on which model you choose. The kit version comes with everything you need.

Aputure Light Storm C300D

The C300 is a 5500K 300W LED light with an amazin g ligt output. Its output is comparable to that of a 2000W tungsten lamp, so it really can replace your old HMI lamps. So leave those at home and just bring this. Will start in adaylight version, but I’m it will eventually come in a tungsten version.

The C300d is a game changer. it’s boasting extremely powerful output, an advanced cooling system, portable build, and a TLCI (Television Lighting Consistency Index) rating of over 96.
