FAQ

Can a STORM 80c with a Light Dome style softbox go on this arm?

Aputure rates the arm for a STORM 80c with CF4 Fresnel and CF4 Barn Doors, 1.92 kg in total. A large softbox adds weight and wind load beyond that rating, so put softbox setups on a stand.

How do I rig STORM 80c lights without stands when travelling?

The STORM 80c 3-Light Kit pairs three Aputure Super Clamps with three Universal Magic Arms for that reason. Clamp to a door frame, shelf or pipe and position the light with the arm.

Will it hold a STORM 80c over a table for a group discussion?

Yes within its rating. Use the 3/8in pin screw into one of the STORM 80c 3/8in threaded sockets and keep the total load under 1.92 kg.
