Aputure Light Octadome 120 Overview

Convenient Work with Light

The number 120 in the name of the Octadome softbox refers to the modifier's unfolded diameter of 120 cm. With its help, you can effectively envelop the shooting set with soft and diffused light. The use of silver material inside the dome provides very good reflection, which minimizes light loss.

Universal Bowens Mount

A mount supporting the popular Bowens standard ensures wide compatibility of the modifier with various types of lamps used in film and photography. The Aputure Light Octadome 120 softbox will easily pair not only with many models of the Light Storm range but also with equipment from other brands that are renowned in the industry.

Forget Diffusion Panels!

The octagonal design of the modifier provides a rounder and more natural light output than can be achieved using diffusion panels found on sets installed in 4 x 4 racks or classic rectangular softboxes. The Aputure Light Octadome 120 also provides excellent ergonomics. You attach the grid and diffusers directly to the dome, so you won't need any additional tripods, brackets, or sandbags weighing down the structure!

Matched Light Diffusion

With the Aputure Light Octadome 120 softbox, you will find 3 diffusion fabrics. The inner diffuser offers a diffusion of -1.5 EV. You will install another two fabrics on the dome, much further away from the lamp burner. They provide diffusion at 2 different levels: -1.5 EV and -2.5 EV. You can combine them in any combination, softening light and blurring shadows as required.

Precise Light Beam Control

Want to precisely illuminate a selected subject or space without scattering light into the rest of the frame? The honeycomb (also known as a grid) you get with the Aputure Light Octadome 120 softbox will help with this. The distinctive grid will allow you to give the light the right contrast and direct it exactly as you need it!

Fast Unfolding System

The octagonal softbox is a great alternative to square racks of diffusion panels, as well as large 32-sided designs. The Aputure Light Octadome 120 is distinguished by its convenient mounting system, which is based on sturdy steel rods and strong fabrics. The softbox and accessories fit into the small bag included in the kit, which weighs only 1.7 kg with its contents.
