FAQ

Does Aputure make a space light style modifier for the XT52?

The Mount Lantern 120 is Aputure's lantern for it: a 120 cm omnidirectional softbox on the Aputure Mount that spreads light all around like a space light, with skirt flaps to cut spill off walls and ceilings. On the XT52 at 5,600K it measures 12,520 lux at 3 m.

Is a lantern better than the stock reflector for soft ambient light?

They do different jobs. The XT52's 35° reflector throws a hard beam of 41,900 lux at 5 m, while the Lantern 120 turns the same light into a broad, even source of 4,040 lux at 5 m for lighting a whole space.

How big is it to carry, and does it come with a bag?

It collapses to 149.0 x 19.0 x 19.0 cm and ships with a carrying bag. The lantern is 2.41 kg, or 3.31 kg with the skirt fitted.
