Aputure Quick Dome 40 is a 40cm quick-release circular softbox with 1-stop and 2-stop diffusion plus a 40-degree light control grid. The compact Mini ProLock and Bowens workflow lets crews create a soft key for close interviews, tabletop scenes, product work, and travel kits without assembling a separate rod-and-speed-ring system. Buyers comparing this production lighting accessory should match it to the complete working package before ordering. Quick Answer The Aputure Quick Dome 40 is a fast-deploy, 40 cm soft dome modifier built specifically for the STORM 80c. It suits anyone shooting tabletop setups, close interviews, product shots, or travel kits who wants clean, wrappy soft light without assembling a separate speed ring. In a kit, it acts as the STORM 80c's directional soft-light modifier, pointing light at the subject from one face rather than spreading it 360 degrees the way the Lantern 30 does for ambient fill. Works With Aputure STORM 80c Not Recommended For Aputure designs it for the STORM 80c; for bigger STORM heads Aputure makes larger domes such as the Quick Dome 60. It is not the right choice if you want 360-degree ambient fill, since it produces directional soft light rather than the all-around wrap the Lantern 30 is built for. Product Overview Aputure Quick Dome 40 is designed around the STORM 80c lighting system rather than as a universal fixture accessory. The compact Mini ProLock and Bowens workflow lets crews create a soft key for close interviews, tabletop scenes, product work, and travel kits without assembling a separate rod-and-speed-ring system. Crews should check modifier clearance, stand capacity, safety attachment, power-cable routing, outdoor exposure, and packed size before the call so output, colour, CCT, and control needs remain practical for the shot.
