The Aputure STORM 700x is a professional COB LED light for crews that need more punch and modifier headroom than STORM 400x while staying more manageable than a 1200x-class fixture. Filmgear Canada carries it in Canada with current inventory shown on this page, Canadian dealer and manufacturer-warranty support, and no need for Canadian buyers to import from a U.S. retailer and deal with cross-border tariff surprises.
Product Video
Watch the STORM 700x walkthrough to judge output class, control-box workflow, modifier handling, Fresnel use, and whether this is the right key-light size for your set.
Product Overview
The Aputure STORM 700x is the middle-class production decision in the STORM line. Buyers who shorten the name to Aputure 700x or STORM 700x are usually asking whether 700x is enough, whether they should jump to 1200x, and how ProLock Bowens, CF10, stands, travel, and fan/noise expectations affect the real kit.
Choose it when you need a stronger key, bigger modifiers, and more output headroom without committing to the size and support demands of STORM 1200x. Choose down when the room is small or the kit must stay compact; choose up when large diffusion and window work are the main job.
Key Features
- Production COB LED light for stronger key-light work, commercial setups, interviews, product video, and small-to-medium crew packages.
- Strong comparison point against STORM 400x for portability and STORM 1200x for maximum output headroom.
- Pairs with CF10 Fresnel and barndoors, ProLock Bowens modifier planning, stands, sandbags, power, and case decisions.
- Useful for buyers upgrading from older Aputure 600-series habits while wanting a current STORM workflow.
- Best when one fixture has to do more serious work than compact lights but still needs to stay practical for smaller crews.
How It Compares
The 700x is the sensible middle only when its support and accessory path fit the crew.
| Option | Choose it when | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Aputure STORM 700x | Choose it for a stronger main fixture, larger modifiers, commercial interviews, and more output headroom than 400x. | Still needs real stand, sandbag, power, and case planning. |
| Aputure STORM 1200x | Choose 1200x when large diffusion, window push, or maximum single-fixture output is the job. | More size, power, support, and transport than many smaller crews need. |
| Aputure STORM 400x | Choose 400x when portability, close interviews, and compact owner-operator handling matter more. | Less headroom for larger modifiers and longer distances. |
| Older 600-series fixtures | Compare only by real setup: reflector, Fresnel, distance, CCT, modifier, and stand support. | A model-name shortcut can mislead if the optical setup is different. |
Compatible Accessories and Related Gear
Most STORM 700x buyers should decide CF10, modifier, stand, sandbag, power, and case needs at the same time, especially when comparing one 700x with a 700x plus 400x package.

Who Is This For?
Choose this for small commercial crews, interview packages, studios, owner-operators, and rental buyers who need more fixture authority than 400x but do not want the full 1200x footprint.
Who Should Choose Something Else?
Choose something else if the job is mostly close creator rooms, small tabletop work, or multi-light color accents. Choose STORM 1200x if large diffusion and maximum headroom matter more than portability.
In the Box
Check the exact listing before a deadline-sensitive order, especially if case, reflector, CF10 Fresnel, barndoors, power cable, yoke, stand, or modifier contents matter.
FAQ
Should I choose Aputure STORM 700x or STORM 1200x?
Choose STORM 700x when portability, stand flexibility, and smaller crew handling matter. Choose STORM 1200x when maximum headroom and larger diffusion matter more.
Is the Aputure 700x a good upgrade from older 600-series lights?
It can be a strong upgrade path, but compare the real setup: reflector, Fresnel, softbox, distance, CCT range, power, and stand support rather than only model class.
Does STORM 700x need special modifier planning?
Yes. Plan ProLock Bowens workflow, CF10, softbox, grid, stand, sandbags, and case needs before treating the light head as a complete package.
Who should not buy STORM 700x first?
Do not make it the first choice if you mostly need compact color placements, tabletop lights, or small room interviews. Compare STORM 80c or STORM 400x first.
