Introducing the Aputure STORM LightDome 150 (A-Mount)

The LightDome 150 is a 1.50 m diameter softbox specifically optimized for the STORM XT52 and other high-power Aputure Smart Mount fixtures. Thanks to its 16-rib design, this softbox provides ultra-soft, even, and hot-spot-free lighting, ideal for film, fashion, and product photography. The kit includes two diffusion fabrics 1.5-stop and 2.5-stop as well as a 50° light control grid for shaping the beam without sacrificing softness. When assembled, the softbox measures Ø1.50 m × 0.808 m, while its folded structure packs into a compact cylinder of 1.05 m × 0.245 m × 0.245 m for easy transport.

Constructed from FDY polyester and steel, the LightDome 150 features a quick-release internal locking system that drastically reduces setup and teardown time on set. The dome alone weighs 3.20 kg; with the addition of the two diffusers (0.10 kg and 0.12 kg), the grid (0.36 kg), and the carrying bag (0.13 kg), the complete kit weighs 4.00 kg net. The shipping package measures 1.105 m × 0.259 m × 0.268 m and weighs 4.85 kg gross, making it compatible with cargo or production equipment.
