FAQ

I damaged the DC plug on my STORM 80c. Can I buy just the lamp head?

Yes. Aputure sells the STORM 80c Lamp Head on its own (SKU AS0706011N). It takes 12-19V DC from the power adapter, and it can also run from USB-C at 20V/5A or from a 14.4V V-mount battery on the STORM 80c Handheld Bracket.

The DC barrel input is my weak spot. What other ways can I power the head?

Two: the USB-C port accepts 20V/5A power, and the STORM 80c Handheld Bracket adds a V-mount battery plate with a D-Tap cable. Aputure seals every connector on the IP65-rated head.

Should I choose a STORM 80c or a STORM 400x?

They solve different jobs. The 80c is an 80W full-color BLAIR-CG head at 1.35 kg with its yoke, covering 1,800K to 20,000K. The 400x is a 400W tunable-white head (2,500K to 10,000K) at 3.95 kg with a separate control box.
