Description
Introducing the Aputure STORM 700x Skid
The Aputure STORM 700x Skid is a steel accessory designed to enhance the stability of the Aputure STORM 700x LED spotlight when placed on the ground. It attaches securely beneath the spotlight, providing a stable and secure base, allowing for use without a tripod or additional support. Thanks to its robust design, the STORM 700x Skid prevents accidental tipping, even when heavy accessories like the CF10 Fresnel lens are mounted on the Bowens mount.
General and essential features
Designed specifically for the STORM 700x, the Skid attaches directly to the underside of the projector body using a robust steel mounting system. Its flat, wide surface provides excellent stability, even on uneven floors. This accessory is particularly useful for studio shoots, on-set productions, or floor-based setups where the projector needs to be positioned low to create a precise lighting effect.
Made from high-quality steel, the Aputure STORM 700x Skid withstands the mechanical and thermal stresses associated with intensive projector use. Its simple and functional design allows for quick assembly and equally easy disassembly. Users can place their projector directly on the ground, even when equipped with a Fresnel lens, hyper reflector, or softbox, without risk of the unit tipping over or becoming unbalanced.
Thanks to its rigid metal construction and precise fit, the Skid ensures optimal stability while protecting the projector base from scratches or damage caused by direct contact with the ground. Compact and discreet, it integrates perfectly into the design of the STORM 700x and remains in place during transport or configuration changes.
