Armed with an upgraded dual-sided and foldable quick release mechanism, the Light Dome III from Aputure accelerates the set-up time for its 16-sided, point source-softening circular softbox, bringing professional, portrait-ready light to any shoot in mere seconds. The parabolic, hexadecanol structure of the Light Dome III is fortified by 16 durable steel support rods, which now snap into place with the downward press of its widely-compatible Bowens Mount bracket, saving valuable time on set. Its shape also promotes uniform light output distribution for soft, even light on any subject. The modifier features a silver interior to maximize the light source’s output and comes with an inner diffuser, 1.5-stop and 2.5-stop front diffusers, and a 40° fabric grid for further light-shaping capabilities.
