About This Product

At Unicorn Films, we know that great lighting is the key to cinematic storytelling, but not every set has the luxury of space. That’s why we’re excited to feature the Aputure Light Dome Mini II, a masterfully designed softbox that delivers stunning light quality without the large footprint. It’s the perfect solution for our community of creators across Delhi-NCR and India who need to be nimble, fast, and uncompromising on quality, whether shooting in a small office, a tight corner of a studio, or on the road.

This modifier is all about bringing professional diffusion to any environment. Its shallower dome design makes it an ideal choice when space is at a premium, allowing you to bring soft, flattering light closer to your subject without overwhelming the scene. It’s a tool built for the speed of modern production, empowering you to shape light with precision and efficiency.

Rapid, Hassle-Free Setup: Forget complicated assembly. The Light Dome Mini II features a new generation quick-release speed ring. This innovative design allows you to install and disassemble the softbox in less than a minute, a crucial advantage on fast-paced sets where every second counts.
Total Creative Control: Versatility is at its core. It includes two diffusion fabrics (1.5 and 2.5 stops) and a unique gold+silver reflective inner baffle that can be reversed to create warmer or cooler tones. This gives you multiple options to soften and color your light source, ensuring you can match any mood or environment.
Directional Lighting Perfected: To give you precise control over your beam, the kit includes a high-quality 40° fabric eggcrate-style grid. This grid minimizes light spill and narrows the beam, allowing you to fine-tune your cinematography, create dramatic effects, or selectively illuminate your subject without contaminating the rest of your scene.
Perfectly Round Catchlights: The modifier’s 16-rod hexadecagon structure creates a perfectly circular shape. This design produces beautiful, natural-looking round catchlights in your subject’s eyes, adding a layer of life and professionalism to your portraits and interviews.
Universal Compatibility: Built with flexibility in mind, the Light Dome Mini II uses the industry-standard Bowens mount. This makes it compatible with all Aputure Light Storm COB fixtures, like the 120d and 300d series, as well as a vast ecosystem of lights from other manufacturers.
Gel Holder for Creativity: It comes equipped with a magnetic gel holder, allowing you to easily add colored gels to your setup. This feature, a staple of Unicorn Films’ commitment to creative freedom, lets you paint with light without any complicated rigging.

The Aputure Light Dome Mini II is more than just a softbox; it’s a problem-solver. It’s the reliable, flexible, and portable tool that allows you to focus on your vision, not your limitations. Let’s create something amazing with it.
