As with all Aputure announcements, there was nothing but good stuff to get excited about. However, there is one piece that makes me particularly excited.
It feels like every time Aputure has announced new stuff, there are two or three giant headline items, and then there are a few extras and modifiers that get thrown in at the end. As much as I get really stoked about professional high-output LED fixtures that are accessible and affordable for most filmmakers, it's almost always those modifiers and extras that make me go "Woah."
Previously, when it announced new fixtures like its Nova RGBWW, or the initial announcement of the much anticipated LS 600D, it always throws in some really great quality-of-life tools that when used correctly can change the way you shoot forever.
A great shining example of this is its Leko-style spotlight attachment, or its fantastic fresnels. In this announcement, Aputure announced the Light Dome 150, which is essentially a five-foot version of their Light Dome II.
