I've used the Light Dome Mini II with the Aputure 600D as a fill light for talent in outdoor setups in full sun where the Light Dome II is too diffuse for the power I need. Also works well in interior interview setups on the Aputure 60X as a back light or kicker.

PERFECT for small spaces

This dome mini is exactly what I needed since I struggle to get great lighting in a really small space. This was the perfect option to use with the Amaran lights.

This is my 3rd Aputure Light diffuser and this is perfect for on the go photo or video. I Took it on an engagement shoot and it was really easy to carry around. The light sets up and breaks down extremely quickly and easily... much like the Godox Parabolic diffuser. The bowens mount works great when switching between the flash mounts and my Aputure 120d or 300x.

A little bit difficult to set up, but easier than other softboxes I have used. Very nice look for interviews with the Aputure 60d lights.

I'll be buying another...

Set it up and break it down in seconds. More light efficient than the average soft box. I'm using it with an Amazon COB 60x light. Perfect combination

What is its depth? I now have 2 Light Dome II but they take up too much space in my small room with a 11' green screen. I need to be able to light the green screen and would like to get at least 6' space for subjects.

Can this be use with Godox AD200?

Can this be use with Godox AD200?
Asked by: Joel
Yes, as mentioned by the other respondents, you could use the AD200 (or a typical shoe-mounted flash with a wireless receiver or TTL cable) with the Godox S bracket to use this. If you prefer an alternative with a metal ring in particular, you could use a combination of these two items to mount the AD200 (or AD200 Pro or AD100 Pro) in a bracket that would hold the Mini Light Dome II (or another Bowens mount modifier): (1) SmallRig Double Ball Head with Cold Shoe & 1/4"-20 Stud B&H# SM1135 https://bhpho.to/38Jczda (2) Raya Reflector Adapter for Speedlight B&H# RARAS https://bhpho.to/30LAmor

I see Velcro tabs around the outer edge of the Dome. What are those for?
Asked by: Cary
So you can hang material to flag the light, etc. Look at their Lantern modify for examples of this. The Light Dome Mini does not come with any flagging material, whereas the Lantern and Space Light do.

How does this compare to the Light Dome II? I'm thinking of buying this one because of the lower price tag + I feel the smaller footprint will make it more versatile. Is there something I'm missing?
Asked by: Andrs
The Aputure Light Dome II would be larger as well as deeper, thus allowing for a softer light versus using the Light Dome Mini II.

The ring insert size is 133mm and it is interchangeable. Maybe a 130 would work
