The Aputure CF16 Fresnel Manual Focus Cover is the plate that closes the motor cutout on the Aputure Motorized CF16 Fresnel when you remove the focus motor and switch the CF16 fresnel to manual focus. It is required to run the CF16 without its motor: it passes power through to the fresnel's cooling fans and keeps the CF16's IP65 rating against dust and water.

FAQ

Can I still spot and flood the CF16 from the app with this cover on?

No. Remote spot and flood control needs the focus motor. This cover is for running the CF16 with the motor removed, and you then focus the fresnel by hand.

Is the CF16 still weatherproof if I take the motor off?

Yes, with this cover fitted. Aputure states the cover keeps the CF16's IP65 rating, so the fresnel internals stay protected from dust and water in the rain.

Can I remove the CF16 motor myself?

Aputure publishes a CF16 electric and manual focusing module replacement guide, the video on this page, and sells this cover separately so owners can switch to manual focus. The cover must be fitted whenever the CF16 runs without the motor because it keeps the cooling fans powered.
