The Aputure INFINIMAT LED & Clear Softbox Pack 8x8 is the lamp head pack for the Aputure INFINIMAT 8x8: a 1,600W, 16-pixel RGBWW mat (239 x 239 cm) with its clear inflatable softbox, 1-stop and 2-stop diffusion, control grid, skirt, Air Pump Max, 7.5 m head cable and flight case. It has no control box, so it suits crews adding an 8x8 to an INFINIMAT Control Box 1600W they already run.

FAQ

Does the 8x8 pack come with an air pump?

Yes. The INFINIMAT Air Pump Max is in the pack, and Aputure rates it at about 2 minutes to inflate the 8x8 clear softbox. A full 8x8 airbag holds for about 2 days, so plan a top-up on longer rigs.

Is there a grid for the 8x8 airbag?

Yes. The Control Grid 8x8, its carrying case and the Control Skirt 8x8 are all included. The grid fastens around the edges of the inflated softbox with hook and loop. At 3 m and 5,600K with the 1-stop cloth, Aputure measures 5,300 lux without the grid and 4,090 lux with it.

Which control box does the 8x8 need, and can it run on batteries?

There is no control box in this pack. The 8x8 plugs into one of the two high-output ports on the INFINIMAT Control Box 1600W, and a single 8x8 takes that box's full 1,600W. Aputure lists AC input from 100V to 264V and two DC inputs on the 1600W box for battery operation.

Does the 8x8 pack include a puncture or patch kit?

No. Aputure's contents list for this pack has no INFINIMAT Patch Kit; it is sold on its own and its patches seal small holes or cracks in the airbag. The airbags also have automatic pressure release valves so they cannot be overfilled.

Can the 8x8 replace a book light built on a 600W COB?

Aputure measures the 8x8 at 7,301 lux bare and 4,530 lux through the airbag with 2-stop diffusion, at 3 m and 5,600K, from a 239 x 239 cm surface. The airbag takes the place of the frame, bounce and diffusion layers, and it inflates in about 2 minutes. Compare those readings with your book light at the same distance.
