FAQ

Can I take the yoke off to pack the CS15 or XT26 head more compactly?

Yes. Turn the Yoke Release Lever on both sides until they unlock, then lift the lamp head out while holding its carrying handle. Aputure recommends doing it with the yoke upright and steady.

Should I get this yoke or the Motorized Yoke?

This manual yoke is 3.2 kg and adjusts tilt by hand. The Motorized Yoke weighs 20 kg and adds motorized 540° pan and 270° tilt run from the control box, Sidus Link or DMX, with junior pin and truss hook mounting.

How do I know the head is locked into the yoke?

The Yoke Release Levers show red when the lamp head is not fully seated and locked. Reseat the head until no red shows and you hear the plate click into place.
