The Aputure Electro Storm was first shown at Cine Gear 2023. Check out the full coverage of the release and the video below for more info on the new lights. Today, Aputure announced its availability and pricing.
Since the first showing at Cine Gear and several demos, Aputure took suggestions and spent time with their product development team to make additional refinements, and it’s now ready to roll!

- Unified Head Cables: The Electro Storm CS15 and XT26 now utilize the same 15m head cables for interchangeable use and replacement in the field.
- Improved Ergonomics, Motor Control, & Optical Quality: The F14 Fresnel now boasts a longer yoke for better ergonomics, smoother & more reliable motor control, and new front optics for more precise light output.
