FAQ

Can I run my existing STORM 1200x head on this replacement control box?

Yes, this is the STORM 1200x Control Box. Connect the head with the 8-pin weatherproof head cable and power the box through its Neutrik powerCON input.

How do I lock and release the powerCON cable on the 1200x box?

Insert the powerCON connector using its positioning slot and twist it to lock. To disconnect, pull back the silver release tab on the connector and rotate it counterclockwise; Aputure warns not to pull directly on the cable.

How does the 1200x control box attach to a stand?

With the Lightning Clamp from the STORM 1200x kit. Clamp it to the stand, unlock the quick-release plate with its lever, set the control box on and let the lever spring back. The clamp grips round or square tubes 2 to 5 cm (0.79 to 1.97 in) across.
