Aputure Amaran F22x 200W Flexible LED Studio Continuous Photo Lighting 2500k-7500k Supports APP Control DMX 9 Built-in Lighting FX

Product Information

Ultimate flexibility. Install the included foldable softbox, one of two strengths of diffusion, or the fabric light control grid to instantly turn this flexible mat into an ultra-thin soft light that will make any subject shine. As I mentioned earlier, setting up flexible LED panels is a little more work than traditional lights. They come in a few pieces, and to be used as a conventional light, you use the included frame with light stand receiver. I like the design of the frame as it’s sturdy and doesn’t use hook and loop fabric to attach to the frame. Built-in Lighting FX: Paparazzi, Lightning, TV, Candle, Fire, Strobe, Explosion, Faulty Bulb, Pulsing Aputure & amaran’s ecosystem and Sidus Link App integration also make the amaran F22x perfect for users who prefer to adjust their lights remotely so they can spend more time behind or in front of their camera. With the Source Match, and Custom FX control functions, matching or creating the perfect lighting for your scene has never been easier. Even users who need DMX control can use the F22x with the USB-C to DMX512 Adapter cable, for professional-level control.

I like the included straight baby pin. It fits in a sturdy grip head so much better than the included adapter. I do understand the amaran line is for the budget-minded user.The 200 watts F22 model is basically two 100W F21 panels combined. Therefore you can expect half the output with the F21 model. To add a beautifully controlled soft light to your scene, attach the included softbox, one of two strengths of diffusion cloths, or the included light control grid using the integrated hook-and-loop fabric to further finesse your lighting design. The F22x can also be combined with the Amaran F22 Lantern with light control skirt to extend the fixture as a volumetric lantern or pancake light.` A new feature that will be popping up on fixtures in the amaran product line is DMX control with a special USB-C to 5-Pin DMX512 In & Out Adapter Cable, allowing professional-level control to the flexible light product line. This USB-C DMX input is also included with the new amaran Tube Lights that were also announced. Controller Fan Noise

You can also swap out the softbox for an amaran F22 lantern modifier*, allowing you to replicate a volumetric lantern or pancake light with an ultra-light full-color fixture.With an integrated 3-meter long head cable and the included 3-meter long extension, the F22x can reach out 6 meters away from its compact control box. Engineered from the ground up for the perfect balance of size, weight, and intensity, the F22x’s LED and heat dissipation design results in a heavy-weight punch from a flexible feather-weight design. The X-Type Frame ends inserts into reinforced corners of the panel and pulls it out a little. It holds sturdy and won’t slip off easily, making it a good option for overhead use. Some of the Velcro-style frames tend to sag a little and are much more prone to falling off the frame over time.
