Choosing lights is fun, tussling with light modifiers is not. Originally unveiled at the 2019 NAB Show, Aputure has announced the new Spotlight Mount to help creators ditch the inconvenience and easily form light to their liking. The modifier mount is interchangeable between three separate lenses, and gives users added control using the internal shutters, dual slots for gels and gobos, and more.

Precise, creative light:
Given that selecting adequate lighting can be time-consuming, costly, and at times require improvising the whole setup, the tools needed to shape the light can be overlooked, but producers can achieve particular lighting with the Spotlight Mount.
With the option of 19-, 26-, and 36-degree lenses, users can create a range of lighting fields, from wide to narrow. The Spotlight Mount also has internal shutters to further craft the light to perfection — and no more accidentally burning your hands on flaming barn doors! The clear lenses enhance light, by as much as 10x for the Aputure 120D II, and produce an even field with minimal falloff to avoid harshness. The Spotlight Mount includes lens technology to overcome chromatic aberrations and rids the shot of fuzzy color fringing: all the way down to 1mm at 0.5 meters.
Beyond standard lighting, the light modifier has a frame for gels and gobos for artists to use their creativity; users are free to project any color or shape the set requires. The Spotlight Mount also has a removable iris for users to further wield the light.
Modern, versatile build:
Light modifiers are another piece of equipment to lug around, so the more agile the better. The Bowens Spotlight Mount is fashioned with a lightweight, durable, aluminum alloy die-cast body, making it an easy carry without being fragile. The mount retains versatility with a Bowens mount that makes it compatible with Aputure’s 120D, 120D Mark II, and 300D lights. Lastly, the Spotlight Mount has a dual Junior/Baby mount that can be attached to a lighting grid in the studio or a C-stand and combo-stand out in the field.
The new Spotlight Mount is available in 19-, 26-, and 36-degree sizes, and comes with lens-only or in a set, starting at .
