Description
The Aputure STORM 700x is a powerful tunable white LED monolight designed for professional productions. It delivers strong output, accurate colour, and a durable build. Because of this, it suits film, broadcast, commercial shoots, and studio photography. Although compact, the light offers impressive control and flexibility, making it easy to adapt to different lighting setups.
Advanced BLAIR LED Chipset
At the core of the STORM 700x is Aputure’s advanced BLAIR chipset. This system blends blue, lime, amber, indigo, and red LEDs. As a result, the light produces a wider and more natural colour spectrum compared to standard LED engines. Additionally, the fixture maintains smooth and consistent colour accuracy throughout its full output range. It also covers more than 70% of the Rec. 2020 colour space. With a 95 CRI and 95 TLCI rating, skin tones and product colours stay true to life. Furthermore, the light reaches an 87 SSI score at both 3200K and 5600K, ensuring reliable results whether shooting indoors or outdoors.
Wide Colour Range and Impressive Output
The STORM 700x offers a colour temperature range from 2500K to 10,000K, giving users full control over warm or daylight-balanced lighting. In addition, the ±G adjustment helps balance mixed lighting environments when needed. With the included 35° reflector, the light outputs up to 18,670 lux at three metres. Therefore, it provides strong directional lighting while still delivering a soft, pleasing quality.
Flexible Control and Workflow Support
The fixture includes multiple operating modes such as Max Output, Constant Output, High-Speed, Lead-Follow, and Studio mode. These options allow users to tailor the light to different shooting styles and requirements. The dimming range goes from 0.1% to 100%, offering precise brightness control. Plus, four dimming curves — Linear, Exponential, Logarithmic, and S-Curve — help fine-tune how the light transitions during a scene. For even more convenience, the STORM 700x supports DMX, CRMX, RDM, and Bluetooth control through Sidus Link or Sidus Link Pro. As a result, it integrates smoothly into both small and large-scale lighting setups.
Built for Tough Production Environments
The light features an IP65 rating, which protects it from rain, dust, and harsh outdoor environments. The ProLock Bowens mount allows secure use of modifiers and keeps everything stable. Additionally, the adjustable cooling system includes Silent Mode for audio-sensitive recording spaces. Despite its high performance, the unit remains manageable in size and weight. It also comes with a rolling transport case, ensuring safe storage and easy travel.
Creative Effects and Preset Storage
For creative flexibility, the STORM 700x includes 10 built-in lighting effects such as lightning, flash, flame, paparazzi, and fireworks. Users can also save up to 10 custom presets, which is especially useful for repeat setups and studio workflows.
Final Overview
Overall, the Aputure STORM 700x offers power, precision, and control in a professional lighting tool. It is ideal for creators who need a reliable, adaptable light that performs consistently in demanding environments.
