Review on Aputure Mini II Light Dome by Kyle Earley

I had trouble building the original Light Dome Mini and I'm so glad Aputure updated it. The new version is much easier/quicker to assemble and disassemble. It no longer has those dangerous "thorns" sticking out the front that I was afraid someone would lose an eye from. Also, the new version has a wonderful gel holder. Unlike my full size Light Dome II, the Mini II version only has a diffuser fabric, probably due to the smaller dome size. I recommend the Mini II version for shooting in tight spaces where the large Light Dome II is too bulky. The large dome of light gives softer/wider results, but the Mini II is also a great light modifier.
