Aputure Light Dome III

All New Design

The Light Dome III is the flagship softbox for Aputure’s Bowens Mount lights, featuring the same 3ft (90cm) circular shape with a brand new quick-folding, flat-pack design. Designed for film and video professionals, the Light Dome III produces large and stunningly soft light while saving valuable time on set and space in your kit with its new quicker setup and slim profile.

For Film & Video Pros

Whether working on commercials, corporate videos, portraiture, or indie to high-end film productions, the Light Dome III’s new quick-folding design helps film and video professionals move through fast-paced productions, where every second counts. And as a complete ready-to-go solution, it is designed to improve your workflow, so you can achieve more with less.

Speed Up Your Setup

With the all-new quick-folding design, building the Light Dome III is now faster than ever, saving you valuable time on set. Being among the fastest circular softboxes to set up and break down on the market, the Light Dome III can snap into its full parabolic shape in seconds, allowing you to start shooting sooner.

Flat-Out Brilliant

Make more room for lights with the Light Dome III’s flat-pack design. Unlike traditional quick softboxes that maintain their cylindrical shape when packed, the Light Dome III’s quick-setup speed ring folds into a slim, flat profile. This portable and travel-ready softbox requires less setup time, and allows you to free up more space for other filmmaking tools when transporting equipment.

One Modifier Rules All

Simplify your toolkit with just one softbox for all your Bowens lights so you can work smarter, not harder. Like other Aputure softboxes, the Light Dome III features the universal Bowens Mount and is the perfect pairing for an array of point-source fixtures, ranging from the Aputure Light Storm series to the amaran 150c and amaran 300c.

Light Confidently

The Light Dome III provides all the tools you need to shoot confidently right out of the box. Switch between two densities of diffusion to craft your soft light, or create more contrast and depth in your images with the included 40º fabric light control grid. With all the tools packed into a carrying bag, the Light Dome III is a ready-to-go solution for fine tuning the perfect lighting.

Perfect Circle. Perfect Eyelight.

Create beautiful, round eyelights with the Light Dome III’s 32-sided circular design to breathe life into the eyes of any subject. As the most circular shape of any softbox on the market, you can create rounder reflections that mimic natural light sources like the sun.

Tough As Steel

The Light Dome III is designed to keep up with the fast-paced world of filmmaking and video professionals. Its new 16 heavy-duty steel rods are sturdier and more durable, and maintain their parabolic shape better than the Light Dome II.
