FAQ

How does the AC cable lock into the 1000c control box?

The STORM 1000c is powered through a Neutrik powerCON AC cable. Line the connector up with the positioning slot, push it in and twist to lock. To remove it, pull back the silver release tab and turn the connector counterclockwise rather than pulling on the cable.

Can I update the 1000c control box firmware myself?

Yes. Aputure lists the STORM 1000c as firmware upgradeable through Sidus Link, Sidus Link Pro or a USB-A drive, and posts the firmware files on the STORM 1000c product page.

How big is the 1000c control box for packing?

It measures 13.6 x 20.0 x 34.4 cm and weighs 6.12 kg (13.49 lb), a little larger and heavier than the STORM 1200x box at 13.6 x 18.9 x 34.4 cm and 5.92 kg.
