Armed with an upgraded dual-sided and foldable quick release mechanism, the 50 cm Light Dome Mini III from Aputure accelerates the set-up time for its 16-sided, point source-softening circular softbox, bringing professional, portrait-ready light to any shoot in mere seconds. Optimized for lightweight portability, the parabolic, hexadecanol structure of the Light Dome Mini III is fortified by 16 durable steel support rods, which now snap into place with the downward press of its widely-compatible Bowens Mount bracket, saving valuable time on set. Its shape also promotes uniform light output distribution for soft, even light on any subject. The modifier features a silver interior to maximize the light output and comes with a front diffusion cloth, a gold/silver inner baffle, and a 40° fabric grid for further light-shaping capabilities.
