The Aputure Light Dome II available for hire from Sydney Camera Hire is a significant upgrade from the original Light Dome, featuring even higher quality diffusion fabric, a rapid build and breakdown system, an included honeycomb egg crate.
The Light Dome II includes two options (1.5 stops & 2.5 stops) for ultra-soft front diffusion fabric. These materials create a beautiful soft light that provides a very even wrap around your subject.
Sydney Camera Hire’s Nanlite Para 150 quick-open soft box creates even lighting with a wrap-around quality and natural-looking catchlights. Its 43″ depth produces a focused light with increased directional control, minimal spill light, and significant falloff.
The Quick-Open design makes the Nanlite Para 150 soft box from Sydney Camera Hire much easier to set up and breakdown compared to traditional softboxes that require the assembly of rods and speed rings. Nanlite provides both a 1-stop and a 2-stop front diffuser to enable even more adjustment of light quality. Also, using neither diffuser turns the Para 150 into a large reflector outputting high contrast light.
Sydney Camera Hire’s Aputure fresnel 2x lens features dual optical intensifying elements, a large 5.5” front Fresnel lens, improved ventilation, and the elimination of light leaks, making this the ultimate Bowens Mount Fresnel.
The rear lens focuses and magnifies the beam onto the larger 5.5” front Fresnel lens, maximizing light utilisation. Our dual lens optical design makes the Fresnel 2X twice as powerful as the original Aputure Fresnel, and makes the 120d II almost 10 times brighter than with the reflector.
Ideal for use overhead or to raise the ambient illumination level, the Nanlite Lantern 120 Softbox combines the omnidirectional light quality of “China Balls” with the durability and portability of a modern softbox.
Utilizing a 47″ spherical design, the Nanlite Lantern 120 has a broad 270° beam angle, allowing film makers to spread light in all directions and fill your set with soft, even light.
The Nanlite Lantern Softbox from Sydney Camera Hire includes a light control skirt set, which can be quickly attached to control the 270° beam spread and can also be rolled up or down to flag off unwanted light.
The Lantern 120 features an Easy- Up speed ring with spring-loaded rod locks. Quickly snap the rods into place to set up the lantern and then release them at the touch of a button for break down.
Created to be compatible with Nanlite’s Forza Series LEDs, the Lantern 120 utilizes a Bowens Style Speed Ring. This near-universal light modifier mount expands compatibility to an extensive range of LED, strobe, and constant lights.
The Aputure Light Storm LS300X LED Light Kit from Sydney Camera Hire is the first Aputure light to go beyond traditional bi-color lighting by utilizing the expanded vari-white CCT range of 2700-6500K, providing warmer tungsten tones and cooler than daylight whites. The brilliant light can be dimmed from a potent main light to a subtle, nuanced fill light, flicker free across the dimming range.The Controller Box attached to the LS300X head with a 9.8-foot head extension cable, so adjusting settings is effortless regardless of where the light is set. The self-regulating , multi-voltage controller also operates using single or dual Gold mount batteries, suitable for lighting in remote locations.
With the Fresnel 2X, the LS 300x can produce over 56,000 lux at 1 meter, creating a stunningly bright light, with CCT control always at your fingertips. By having the ability to use lensed modifiers like the Fresnel 2X or the Spotlight Mount, in addition to soft light modifiers like the Light Dome II, you can achieve extreme lighting precision to match any shooting environment. Spot, flood, cut, or diffuse your light without worrying about unwanted artifacts while controlling your white point.
Combining the latest optical color-blending technology with Aputure’s dual-color LED chipset provides an unprecedented flexibility from a single LED fixture. A specially-designed color-blending optical element in front of the chipset combines the LED output into a single cohesive point light source. The highly-efficient light output renders at CRI 95, TLCI 98, plus higher than industry standard SS1 85, and D55-SSI 74 ratings. This level of efficiency means colors and skin tones will be reproduced with an extremely-high degree of accuracy.
Intuitive local controls and a bright LCD display on the Controller Box allow precise and repeatable setups locally. In addition, the output may be controlled using the included 2.4 GHz wireless remote, or the light may be integrated into a DMX network via the 5-pin XLR in/out ports. Also, thanks to Aputure’s integrated Sidus Mesh network chipset, all the 300X’s functions may be controlled by the Sidus Link app, free to download for iOS and Android portable devices. The app also allows saving presets, adjusting/triggering lighting effects, luminance, and CCT, as well as installation of firmware updates, all from your smartphone or tablet.
