🔦 Aputure STORM XT52 — The Next-Level Point-Source LED

The STORM XT52 is a game-changing fixture engineered with features that make it ideal for demanding commercial and film work:

  • 5,200 W tunable white point‑source output

  • Flicker-free dimming and high frame rate compatibility
  • Rugged, weather-resistant IP65 design
  • Modular electronics and head/cable design suitable for large-scale rigs
  • Compatibility with high‑end modifiers like the CF16 Fresnel

Pairing this with the new Motorized CF16 Fresnel unlocks even more creative control. (More on that below.)

🌀 Motorized CF16 Fresnel — Precision Focus, Remote Control

The CF16 Motorized Fresnel is designed to integrate seamlessly with the STORM XT52 to bring optical finesse and remote operation to your lighting toolkit. Key features include:

  • 16″ motorized dual-expanding focusing barrel
  • Beam angle zoom range: 18° (spot) – 50° (flood)
  • Up to ×7 amplification of XT52’s native output at tight zoom
  • Remote control via DMX, CRMX, Sidus Link / Sidus Link Pro
  • Optional manual cover plate for de‑motorized control
  • Includes CF16 barn doors, safety cable, and high-quality rolling or flight case

This Fresnel is compact yet powerful — engineered to bring smooth falloff, precision control, and punch in your setups.

Why You’ll Want to Book These Early

  1. They’ll move fast. As soon as these hit the market, rental houses and DPs will snatch them up. Booking ahead guarantees availability.
  2. Perfect for high-end commercial work. When your shoot demands edge-to-edge sharpness, controlled beam shaping, or remote operation, these are the tools that deliver.
  3. Greater creative flexibility. The XT52 + CF16 combo gives you a potent, tunable, shapeable source — excellent for product work, architectural lighting, mood lighting, or big set builds.
  4. Seamless integration. The CF16 is built for XT52, meaning mounting, control, and performance fit intuitively into your existing workflows.

📸 Sample Shots & Use Cases

  • Use the zoom from 18° to 50° to shift between tight cinematic accents and soft flood washes.
  • Control on-set via DMX or wirelessly via Sidus Link for fast repositioning mid-shoot.
  • Maximize output in tight zones (e.g. product shots, accent lighting) by tightening the Fresnel.
  • Weatherproof build makes it ideal for outdoor or mixed-environment shoots.
