Aputure STORM 80c Reviews

Barn Doors Broke within 3 Months - They Don't warranty anything but the lights

By Matthew

BE WARNED - I thought in upgrading to the Aputure brand I was getting a higher quality product, better support, and a superior product. Within 4 months our barn doors broke in this kit and the company does not warranty or repair accessories.

This kit has so much potential; and yet, as a new filmmaker, I could easily get a 3-point lighting set up to look good with this!
