An Essential Item To Your Kit

This has been a piece of equipment that I've tried to skimp by on whether that be a cheap Godox knock off or the Aputure 100D. Both lights are great but nothing really compares to this. Super versatile powerful light at a super great price in comparison to similar tools that you would use on a project. 10/10!

Powerful, High Quality Light

I am very happy with my purchase. This is the first continuous light I have bought for my studio and so far it has exceeded my expectations. The light is powerful (moreso than I have yet needed) and has great quality, bringing out the subject's colors beautifully. I also love the FX and I'm excited to continue experimenting with them.

Rated 5 out of 5

Built like a tank, but relatively small, fairly light-weight tank that is.

I'd heard plenty of glowing reviews about this light, so I was expecting a great product. What I got actually exceeded my expectations. The build quality is top-notch. The light quality is excellent, and the attention to detail in this product is next to none. It has some features than I'll ever use, but the new single brick/controller is great. The long cords are a welcomed feature as well. My studio has an overhead grid for mounting lights and the 300D mkII was light enough to hang and glide into position easily. The remote and the iPhone app make it easy to dial in the light intensity on remotely mounted lights.

A great upgrade from the previous generation

I sold my first generation 300D and bought this. Definitely better built and well thought about all aspects of the production. Highly recommend!

Fantastic light and kit

I love this light. In fact I bought 2 of them. Super bright output for the price point, portable, and very well built. Set up took just a few minutes, and I am thrilled with the output for how small and lightweight it is. I toyed with the effects, and at first glance they look a bit amateur, so we'll see if I even use them. The cords are long enough to leave the ballast on the floor while the light is up at 7'. And the AC cord is nice and long too. The case is a good balance between lightweight and durable. I just wish the case had dedicated space for the barndoors and fresnel lens. That way everything for this guy could go together. The remote is nice to have. The kit accessories: The light stand is garbage. The knobs are cheap and the whole stand bends when you put the light on it. I will not be using this stand on professional shoots. The softbox hasn't arrived yet. I was surprised when the fresnel 2x lens arrived with the light because I didn't order it, and it isn't listed as an accessory in the product listing. So I'm assuming it's officially part of the kit. Bonus! Overall, this is one of those purchases that I feel really good about.

The LS C300D II is not just an upgrade, it's a revolution.

The robust lamp head of the LS C300D II is a marvel of design and functionality. It retains the lightweight aircraft aluminum body of the original 300d, but introduces a new yoke that allows for 360-degree rotation.

The LS C300D II is the first Aputure light to feature a hyper-efficient 55-degree reflector. This innovative design increases the output of the light by more than three times compared to the original design.

It's the first product to utilize Aputure's new quick release plate and clamp system, allowing you to secure it on any stand, truss, or speed rail. The control box also features a fan-less heatsink design, making it completely silent.

The LS C300D II is not just powerful, it's also versatile. It can produce its maximum output using two high capacity V-Mount or Gold Mount batteries. It also features technology that allows you to power the light with a single battery at up to half output.
