Introducing the Aputure CF10 Fresnel Kit with Barn Doors

The Aputure CF10 Fresnel Kit with Barn Doors is a professional light modifier designed for Bowens-mount LED lights, including the Aputure STORM 700x, STORM 400x, and Light Storm 600c Pro/Pro II. This complete kit combines a 10-inch Fresnel lens with a set of 8-panel barn doors, providing precise and versatile light control. Compact, powerful, and optimized for demanding shoots, it delivers up to three times the light output of a previous LED + Fresnel combination while maintaining a small footprint.

General and essential features

The CF10 Fresnel uses a dual-expanding focusing system with multiple optical elements. This innovative design allows the light beam to be adjusted from 15° in spot mode to 40° in flood mode, while minimizing the overall weight and size. Despite its compact size, it guarantees remarkable light uniformity across the entire beam surface.

The included 8-leaf barn doors easily attach to the Fresnel lens and allow for precise control of light spill. They can also accommodate a 28 cm (11-inch) grid or scrim filter. The entire assembly is constructed from durable metal materials, ensuring long-lasting performance for both studio and field use.

Thanks to its compatibility with Bowens-mount fixtures, the CF10 Fresnel with Barn Doors integrates seamlessly into Aputure users’ workflows. Its compact size and robust design make it an essential accessory for productions requiring a powerful, adjustable, and precise beam.

Case studies

Powerful directional lighting

When used with the STORM 700x, the CF10 Fresnel provides a concentrated and intense light, ideal for shoots requiring long-range lighting or a strong main light.

Precise light control with Barn Doors

The kit’s 8 shutters allow you to adjust the light beam and prevent it from spilling onto the set. This control is particularly useful in studios, advertising, or on film sets.

Simplified transport and installation

The kit comes in a compact hard case, making it easy to transport and store. Each component is protected and easy to mount on the projector without additional tools.

Professional compatibility

The CF10 is designed to work optimally with the Aputure STORM 700x, but remains fully compatible with the STORM 400x and the Light Storm 600c Pro and Pro II, thus offering great flexibility of use.

Durable and robust design

With a metal body and precision mechanics, the CF10 Fresnel is designed to withstand the stresses of intensive use while maintaining consistent light performance over time.
