Equipped with an upgraded dual-sided and foldable quick release mechanism, the Aputure Light Dome III significantly reduces the set-up time for its 16-sided, point source-softening circular softbox, delivering professional, portrait-ready lighting in mere seconds. The parabolic, hexadecagonal structure of the Light Dome III is reinforced by 16 durable steel support rods, which snap into place with a simple downward press of its widely-compatible Bowens Mount bracket, saving valuable time on set. This design also ensures uniform light output distribution, providing soft, even illumination on any subject. The modifier features a silver interior to maximize the light source’s output and includes 1.5-stop and 2.5-stop front diffusers, along with a 40° fabric grid for enhanced light-shaping capabilities.
