Description

Introducing the STORM Parallel Beam 70

The Aputure STORM Parallel Beam 70 is an ultra-concentrated 70cm beam modifier designed to deliver extremely precise, hard light projection over long distances . Compatible with the STORM XT52 , Electro Storm XT26, and CS15 spotlights , it provides maximum light concentration thanks to an ultra-narrow 5° beam angle , reaching its full effectiveness at 10 meters and beyond.

Two versions available depending on the needs

The STORM Parallel Beam 70 is available in two distinct versions to meet different logistical and budgetary needs :

• Standard version, supplied with a protective plexiglass cover, ideal for studios or sedentary setups.

• Flight Case version, which also includes a reinforced hard-shell rolling case, perfect for touring productions, outdoor shoots, or rental crews. This version allows for the safe transport of the modifier while effectively protecting the structure and optics during transit.

Warning : The flight case is bulky, with dimensions of 89 × 88.5 × 72.5 cm, i.e. more than 0.56 m³ of volume, which requires a suitable transport space.

Optical power and precision

The Parallel Beam 70 uses a specific optical system to achieve exceptional photometric values :

• Up to 41,600 lux at 10 m with a STORM XT52 at 4300K

• Up to 24,990 lux at 10 m with an Electro Storm XT26 at 5600K

These features make it a tool of choice for situations where precision and light intensity are paramount: special effects, directed reflections, distant highlights or intense backlighting.

Practical examples with the STORM Parallel Beam 70

On a large format film shoot

Ideal for projecting focused light over long distances, as a backlight or accent.

In high-end advertising

Creates ultra-sharp halo, silhouette or point lighting effects without unwanted diffusion.

In a technical setting or FX studio

Allows you to reproduce a distant light source (moon, lighthouse, stage spotlight) with remarkable visual fidelity.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What is the purpose of a Parallel Beam type modifier?

It allows the light to be concentrated into a very narrow beam (5°) for a clear projection over a long distance.

2. Is the Parallel Beam 70 compatible with all Aputure torches?

No, it is optimized for the STORM XT52, but also compatible with the Electro Storm XT26 and CS15.

3. What is the difference between the standard version and the Flight Case version?

The standard version comes with a protective plexiglass cover, while the Flight Case version includes a reinforced hard-shell suitcase with wheels, ideal for secure professional transport.

4. What is the total weight with the flight case?

The gross weight reaches 49.56 kg, and the full carton weighs 53.56 kg : something to consider for filming logistics.

5. Can this modifier be stored compactly in the studio?

The modifier alone measures 77 × 74.7 × 50.4 cm, but with the flight case, you should allow up to 91 × 90.5 × 74.5 cm.
