Excellent addition to my studio lighting setup

As a professional photographer, I am always on the lookout for top-quality electronics to incorporate into my kit. My analysis of this product showed that it is one of the best softboxes available in the market. The soft light it produces is perfect for portrait photography and its octagonal shape creates pleasing catchlights in the eyes of my subjects. The build quality is excellent and it is easy to assemble, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and professionals. The only con is that

Pros
  • Produces soft and even light for portraits or still-life photography
Cons
  • Difficult to assemble for first-time users

Easy to use!

The dome is great! It is easy to assemble and the instructions are easy to understand. I had the tip of a rib that fell off the first time I used it. I had some epoxy and fixed it. It was just a bummer that happened with my first Aputure product. I like Dome 35 and LS120. Excellent lighting!

Pros
  • 🌿 |Cinematic Diffusion|: Aputure Light Dome II uses an industrial-grade diffuser material with a highly reflective coating. By maintaining your light's original color temperature, these materials transform your hard COB light into beautiful soft light that envelops your subject very evenly, making the Light Dome II an ideal diffuser for portraits, interviews, documentaries, music videos and stories.
Cons
  • boring packaging

Building tip

Very happy with this softbox. It is very light and easy to assemble. Small assembly tip: start with one pole and then insert another on the opposite side and repeat for all other poles to avoid difficulties. Also, I recommend pressing down on the Bowen mount to insert the bars as it gets a bit stiffer. Hope that makes sense!

Pros
  • 🌿 |Perfect Round Flare|: Aputure Light Dome 2 Provides an exceptionally round beam of light that is almost a perfect circle. Creators can now get a precise circular light that also doubles as a highlight in the eyes of your talent on camera.
