1. Aputure Light Dome III
Ideal for portraits, interviews, professional film shoots, and facial shots. The full silver coating enhances the output strength for greater control over the light source. The Deep Dome design (24" deep) provides a tighter, more focused beam. The unique double-diffuser design ensures an even distribution of light across the entire field. The large 34.8" outer diffuser increases the beam size, creating a softer and more flattering light. Smooth, round, hexagonal light output creates beautiful catchlights.
Delivered with 2 different thicknesses of outer diffuser fabric, allowing the user to achieve varying softness (1.5 stop and 2.5 stop brightness). Redesigned with 16 rods made of wear-resistant steel construction for quick setup by one person. Includes a honeycomb grid attachment that helps control the spread of light by 40 degrees. Also included is a gel holder for filmmakers to create vibrant colors. The Aputure Light Dome III is the flagship among softboxes for Aputure's Bowens-mount lights. It features the same round shape of 90 cm (3 feet) and a quickly foldable, flat design.
With this softbox, film and photography professionals can create stunningly soft light while saving valuable time on set and space in their kits. The biggest difference between the Light Dome III and the Light Dome Mini III compared to their second-generation counterparts is the quick-release ring that allows them to fold flat. Additionally, the Light Domes can be set up and collapsed in seconds thanks to the quick-release mechanism.

With a diameter of 150 cm, it produces soft light that gently wraps around a single subject or evenly illuminates a large group.
8. Aputure Fresnel 2x Mount
After user feedback and groundbreaking research and development, the Fresnel 2X was developed. The new design features two optical elements, a larger 6" Fresnel front lens, improved ventilation and minimized light leakage, making it the ultimate Bowens Mount Fresnel. The Fresnel 2X has a double lens design. The rear lens focuses and enlarges the beam onto the larger 6" Fresnel front lens, which prevents light loss. The optical double lens design makes the Fresnel 2X twice as powerful as the original Aputure Fresnel and makes the 120D II up to 14 times brighter and breathes new life into your luminaires. Using a new rotating drum design, the Fresnel 2X creates an intuitive user interface similar to a camera lens. The smooth focus throw gives the user the ability to precisely determine the beam angle of his light source so you can easily spot or flood your light with a simple twist.

The included 45° light control grid allows photographers and videographers to control the spread of the diffused light directly onto their subjects.
Its slim and narrow design and light control grid make the Light Box 30x120 optimal for lighting a wide area with minimal spill, and is perfect for edge lights, often used in portrait and product photography.
