Something Big Is Here

 

Some big arrived at my home this week.  I've been looking forward to seeing it all summer.  It's the new Aputure Storm XT52.  I believe this is currently the brightest COB style LED light available but that is just one of its great attributes.  With the Aputure BLAIR LED engine, I now have a "big gun" type light with exceptionally good color quality and the ability to match almost any light source.  It is a gaffer's dream come true.  I expect this will become a workhorse type light light like the 4K par HMI was for many years.  I'm already thinking that I may need another in my inventory at E+G, lighting, electric, & grip:  https://www.electric-plus-grip.com/

 

PS:  With the arrival of the Aputure XT52, I sold my Arri 4K par.  I was a little sad to see it go.  It was a bright, dependable workhorse.  The only HMI is still have is 12K fresnel.  I think its days are number, too!
