Aputure NOVA II 2x1 RGB LED Light Panel
The Aputure NOVA II 2x1 is an RGB LED panel for crews that need a broad soft color fixture for interviews, studio sets, stage wash, rental packages, and virtual-production style color without building every look from a COB and softbox. Order it through Filmgear Canada in Canada with Canadian dealer and manufacturer-warranty support and no U.S. retailer import/tariff surprise for Canadian buyers; contact us before a deadline-sensitive shoot for current availability.
Product Video
Watch the NOVA II 2x1 walkthrough to judge panel size, diffusion, color control, rigging weight, and studio or rental workflow before choosing the standard or hard-case package.
Product Overview
The Aputure NOVA II 2x1 is the right conversation when the job needs soft panel coverage first: larger interview keys, color wash, product-table ambience, quick studio fill, and repeatable panel placement. Canadian buyers also shorten the name to Aputure NOVA 2x1 or Aputure NOVA II, so this page keeps the exact model clear while answering the real panel-versus-point-light decision.
Choose this RGB LED panel when softness, surface area, and fast color control matter more than a focused hard beam. If the work is mostly punch through large diffusion, a STORM point fixture may be the stronger system. If the work needs a flexible overhead mat, compare INFINIMAT before committing to a rigid panel.
Key Features
- Large 2x1 RGB panel format for broad soft light, color wash, interviews, product video, and studio work.
- Better fit than a COB when the look should start soft without building a separate softbox for every setup.
- Pairs naturally with NOVA II 2x1 barndoors, fabric control grid, rolling case, stands, and studio power planning.
- Useful for crews comparing NOVA II 2x1 with NOVA II 1x1, STORM 400x, INFINIMAT 2x4, SkyPanel-style panels, and RGB tubes.
- Good landing choice for rental packages, schools, studios, commercial crews, and owner-operators who need a visible panel system.
How It Compares
The main decision is shape: a 2x1 panel gives soft coverage immediately, while point fixtures and mats solve different rigging and output problems.
| Option | Choose it when | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Aputure NOVA II 2x1 | Choose it for large soft color, interviews, studio fill, and rental-friendly panel workflows. | Not the best first choice when you need a hard beam, long throw, or projection accessory. |
| Aputure NOVA II 1x1 | Choose it when the room is tight, travel size matters, or a smaller panel is easier to place. | Less surface area than the 2x1 for broad keys and wider set coverage. |
| Aputure STORM 400x or 700x | Choose a STORM fixture for punch, reflectors, Fresnels, hard direction, and larger modifier paths. | Requires modifier planning when the final look needs soft panel-style coverage. |
| Aputure INFINIMAT 2x4 | Choose INFINIMAT when the light needs to rig flat, overhead, close to walls, or in a flexible mat position. | Less rigid-panel convenience for fast stand-based studio placement. |

Who Is This For?
Choose this for studios, schools, rental houses, commercial crews, interview shooters, and creators who want one large soft RGB panel that can carry a full product-page decision without sending buyers elsewhere.
Who Should Choose Something Else?
Choose something else if output through big diffusion, hard beam control, projection, CCT-only white light, battery travel size, or long-throw work matters more than a large RGB panel. In those cases, compare STORM 400x, STORM 700x, MT Pro, or INFINIMAT.

FAQ
Should I choose the Aputure NOVA II 2x1 or a STORM fixture?
Choose NOVA II 2x1 when the look starts with a large soft RGB LED panel. Choose a STORM fixture when punch, reflectors, Fresnels, hard direction, or larger softbox control matter more than built-in panel softness.
Is the Aputure NOVA II 2x1 better than the NOVA II 1x1?
The 2x1 makes more sense when you need wider coverage, softer keys, or a stronger studio panel presence. The 1x1 is easier to place in tight rooms and smaller travel kits.
What accessories should I plan with NOVA II 2x1?
Plan the fabric control grid, barndoors, rolling case, stand support, power routing, and any studio control workflow before deciding whether the bare panel is enough.
Who should not buy the NOVA II 2x1 first?
Do not make it the first choice if the job needs a hard beam, long throw, projection, or compact battery-first travel. A STORM fixture, MT Pro, or INFINIMAT may fit better.
