Aputure takes aim at the higher end of the lighting market by offering more output with the versatile 1200d Pro.
We got our hands on it to see how it stacks up the competition.
All we’ve wanted for a while now was a powerful LED we could afford. Able to slot in the spot we usually spec with something like an Arri M18, but that we could actually buy, or at least rent on the regular. With spot and flood capability, along with the ability to easily and quickly mount a softbox.
We’ve known it was going to come from somewere, and in the last few years, as Aputure inched up the output scale from 300 to 600, we started to think that it would be Aputure that would finally do it.
Well, they did. With the Aputure 1200d Pro.
High-Output, Budget-Friendly
It’s exciting to be getting this kind of output from a unit that costs around $4,000. This light is really designed to compete against something like an Arri M18.
