Aputure LIGHT BOX 30120 Reviews

Great Product - Not easy to disassemble.

I bought it for a diffused rim light source and it's perfect. Just a bit of a struggle to disassemble on set hence the 4 stars.

I expected something thin and flimsy and was pleasantly surprised by the build quality and all the extras you get. Not a Chimera quality but close enough to endure use over the years, imho. Yes, the fit is tight but this will relax over time. In addition to my Aputure lights, I'm also using them on my Profoto flash units. One minor critique - there are two levels of front panel diffusion but they are not labeled. I had to test them to see which was which. Irksome, yes, but for the inexpensive price all is forgiven! Way to go Aputure!! I will be buying more of you soft box offerings!!

When used with an Aputure 300DII, is the light across the softbox even or is there a hotter spot in the center?
Asked by: Bill
Most strip boxes like the Aputure Light Box 30120 (12 x 48") the light might be a bit hotter in the middle. But at 48 inches wide it should be pretty even using the Aputure 300DII.
