Product Overview

The Aputure NOVA II 1x1 is a compact RGB LED panel for Canadian studios, interview crews, schools, product shooters, and owner-operators that need a smaller soft full-color panel instead of a larger 2x1 panel or a STORM point fixture. Order it through Filmgear Canada in Canada with Canadian dealer and manufacturer-warranty support and no U.S. retailer import or tariff surprise for Canadian buyers; contact us before a deadline-sensitive shoot for current availability.

Product Video

Use the official NOVA II product walkthrough to judge the panel workflow, size family, color control, and accessory decisions before choosing 1x1, 2x1, or Travel Kit.

The NOVA II 1x1 is the smaller soft-panel decision in the NOVA II family. Searches for Aputure Nova 1x1 usually come from buyers who want soft color, controllable panel placement, and a more compact footprint than the NOVA II 2x1, without moving into COB-and-softbox setup every time.

Choose NOVA II 1x1 when room size, travel, stand footprint, and quick soft panel placement matter. Step up to NOVA II 2x1 when a larger source and wider coverage are needed, or choose STORM when punch, Fresnel control, and hard-light direction matter more than panel softness.

Key Features

  • Compact full-color 1x1 panel for interviews, studios, product video, education, content rooms, and controlled soft color.
  • Smaller footprint than NOVA II 2x1 when tight rooms, travel, and quick stand placement matter.
  • Better daily panel choice than a point fixture when the look starts with a soft source instead of a hard beam.
  • Natural comparison against NOVA II 2x1, STORM 400x, INFINIMAT 1x2/2x4, and higher-end RGB panel systems.
  • Good fit for crews that need color and soft coverage without building a modifier package for every setup.

How It Compares

The 1x1 is the practical choice when the buyer wants NOVA II color in a smaller footprint.

Option Choose it when Watch out for
NOVA II 1x1 Choose it for compact soft RGB panel work, interviews, small studios, and easier placement. Less surface area than the 2x1 for broad keys and wider coverage.
NOVA II 1x1 Travel Kit Choose the Travel Kit when case/transport workflow is part of the first purchase. More package than needed for a permanent studio setup.
NOVA II 2x1 Choose 2x1 when larger soft coverage, stronger studio presence, and wider set coverage matter. Bigger package and stand/transport planning.
STORM 400x or 700x Choose STORM when punch, Fresnel, reflectors, and larger modifier control matter more. Requires modifier planning to create a soft panel-like look.

Compatible Accessories and Related Gear

Build the NOVA II 1x1 around panel workflow: compare the Travel Kit, NOVA II 2x1, STORM fixtures, and INFINIMAT when the light needs to rig flat or overhead.

Who Is This For?

Choose this for compact studios, schools, interview rooms, content teams, product shooters, and owner-operators who want a soft full-color panel that is easier to place than a 2x1.

Who Should Choose Something Else?

Choose something else if the job needs more output, RGB surface area, a hard beam, Fresnel control, long throw, a larger case package, or flat overhead rigging. Compare NOVA II 2x1, STORM, or INFINIMAT before buying.

FAQ
