The Aputure STORM 400x is a compact 400W tunable-white point-source light for interview, commercial and location crews, and it runs on AC or two V-mount batteries.
Quick Answer
The Aputure STORM 400x is a high-output cinema LED monolight in Aputure's STORM line, sold here in the V-Mount configuration for off-grid battery power. It targets productions that want one powerful fixture with modern controls to serve as the key light. In a kit, it's designed as the primary key light for narrative, commercial, and event coverage, and it takes Aputure's Bowens-mount modifiers, such as fresnels, softboxes, and snoots, to shape that key.
Not Recommended For
- It is not designed as a secondary accent light: it is built as a powerful, primary single-fixture key for narrative, commercial, and event coverage.
