Aputure Storm 1200x Cine Kit with Skid Support, Fresnel and Barndoors
Product Overview
The Aputure STORM 1200x Cine Kit is a high-output bi-color LED light package for Canadian productions that need serious white-light headroom, CF12-style beam control, large diffusion, window work, and a more complete production kit from the first purchase. 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 STORM 1200x video to judge output class, fixture scale, and the Cine Kit accessory path before deciding between 1200x, 1000c, and 700x.
The STORM 1200x Cine Kit is for buyers who already know the job needs output and control. Searches for Aputure 1200x usually come from crews weighing Fresnel control, barn doors, skid/support, stand class, power, and case planning as much as the fixture.
Choose this Cine Kit when the shoot is mostly high-output tunable white light: commercial sets, studios, rental packages, large diffusion, and window or exterior-adjacent work. Choose STORM 1000c when full-color RGB is worth more than white-light headroom, and choose STORM 700x when smaller crew handling matters more.
Key Features
- 1200W STORM bi-color fixture package for high-output white-light work, large diffusion, commercial sets, and rental workflows.
- Cine Kit path suits crews that need Fresnel control, barn doors, skid/support planning, and a stronger first-purchase package.
- Best for buyers comparing STORM 1200x, STORM 1000c, STORM 700x, and older high-output Aputure or HMI-style habits.
- BLAIR tunable-white workflow for crews prioritizing output and CCT matching over full RGB color.
- Designed for serious support planning: junior receiver stands, sandbags, power, transport, case, and large modifier decisions.
How It Compares
The 1200x Cine Kit makes sense when the shoot needs white-light headroom more often than RGB color.
| Option | Choose it when | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| STORM 1200x Cine Kit | Choose it for high-output bi-color work, large diffusion, window push, CF12 control, and rental/studio packages. | Large fixture support, power, case, and transport are part of the real cost. |
| STORM 1000c Cine Kit | Choose it when full-color RGB output and color effects matter more than maximum white-light headroom. | Different creative purpose; not just a lower-output 1200x. |
| STORM 700x Cine Kit | Choose it when smaller crew handling, portability, and stand flexibility matter more. | Less headroom for large diffusion and longer distances. |
| STORM 1200x head only | Choose the head when you already own or prefer a separate accessory package. | Requires more separate planning for Fresnel, barn doors, skid, case, and stands. |

Who Is This For?
Choose this for gaffers, commercial productions, rental houses, studios, and owner-operators whose smaller fixtures already run out of white-light headroom.
Who Should Choose Something Else?
Choose something else if your priority is full-color RGB, compact interview work, small creator rooms, travel-light handling, or multiple small color placements. Compare STORM 1000c, 700x, 400x, 80c, or NOVA II first.

FAQ
Should I choose STORM 1200x Cine Kit or STORM 1000c Cine Kit?
Choose STORM 1200x Cine Kit when white-light output is the main need. Choose STORM 1000c Cine Kit when full-color RGB control is central to the production.
Is STORM 1200x Cine Kit too much for interviews?
It can be more light, stand, and power planning than many interview rooms need. For close interview kits, compare STORM 400x or STORM 700x first.
Why buy the Cine Kit instead of the STORM 1200x head?
Buy the Cine Kit when Fresnel control, barndoors, skid support, and a more complete first package are needed. Buy the head when you are building a custom package.
Who should not buy STORM 1200x Cine Kit first?
Do not buy it first if the job is mostly compact creator work, saturated RGB color, small accents, or travel-light setups. Smaller STORM fixtures or STORM 1000c may fit better.
