FAQ

Should I choose STORM 1200x or STORM 1000c?

Choose 1200x for 1,200W tunable-white output and reflector or CF12 beam control. Choose 1000c when BLAIR-CG full-colour operation and a 1,800 to 20,000K range matter more than the 1200x output class.

Can I reuse LS 1200d Pro reflectors or an F10 Fresnel?

Use the STORM 1200x and 1000c reflector kit and the CF12 Fresnel system. Aputure identifies CF12 for STORM 1200x and 1000c; the older LS 1200d Pro and F10 optical accessories are not the specified system.

Can STORM 1200x run from a household outlet?

The product page lists a 1,550W maximum draw, which is about 13A at 120V. Use a dedicated 15A or 20A circuit with no other meaningful load, confirm the venue circuit, and use AC power rather than V-mount batteries.

How heavy is STORM 1200x, and what stand does it need?

The lamp head with yoke is 9.50kg, the control box is 5.92kg, and the loaded rolling case is 27.32kg. The yoke uses a 1-1/8-inch junior receiver, so use a rated heavy-duty stand, ballast, and adequate crew handling.

In-stock orders placed before 2 PM Vancouver time ship the same business day. Filmgear Canada coordinates Aputure warranty, production companies can request a multi-unit quote, and rental enquiries can be referred to a partner through info@filmgearcanada.com.
