Share with friends

The Aputure STORM 80c is the latest in Aputure’s C-series, following the powerful Aputure STORM 1000c. Designed for filmmakers, gaffers, and content creators, this compact LED light is small in size but big on performance. It gives you rich, accurate color, strong brightness, and easy control, all in a weatherproof body that’s built for life on set. It’s part of Aputure’s newer series of lights, using something called the BLAIR-CG light engine. In simpler terms, this means the light is built to give you more accurate colors and better brightness. Aputure is already a trusted name in the film industry, and the Aputure STORM 80c proves why.

Below are some key features of the Aputure STORM 80c:

Aputure STORM 80c Delivers Bright and Accurate Color

The Aputure STORM 80c uses Aputure’s BLAIR-CG light engine, which combines five different LEDs, Blue, Lime, Amber, Red, and Indigo. This mix creates richer colors and better brightness compared to standard LEDs. Together, they mix to give you clean white light and rich colors that look great on camera. That means skin tones will look real, and you’ll get more natural-looking shots overall. With a CCT range from 1800K to 20,000K, the Aputure STORM 80c can go from very warm candlelight to cool daylight and beyond.

You can also adjust the green-magenta tint using Aputure’s full +/- green correction controls. This helps you match the light exactly to other fixtures or natural light without weird color casts. Most importantly, the light stays accurate even when you lower the brightness. Some lights change color when you dim them, but the Aputure STORM 80c keeps things steady.

Lightweight Design, Professional Output

The Aputure STORM 80c is lightweight and compact, which makes it very easy to carry around. It’s perfect for tight spaces, small studios, or run-and-gun setups where you don’t have a lot of time or space. Even though it’s small, it’s very well built. The outer body is solid, and the entire light is sealed to protect it from dust and light rain. You can use it outside without worrying too much about the weather. If you’ve ever had to shoot in tricky conditions, you’ll appreciate how tough this light is.

Surprising Brightness from the Aputure STORM 80c

You might not think a small light like this can be bright, but it really delivers. When you use it with the included reflector, the beam becomes stronger and more focused. You can use it to light someone’s face from about a meter away, even if you’re shooting during the day or in a room with sunlight coming in. If you need extra brightness, Aputure also makes a lens attachment called a Fresnel that works with this light. It helps you get an even tighter and more powerful beam when needed.

Aputure STORM 80c Offers Remote Control Accessibility

One thing that really stands out about the Aputure STORM 80c is how easy it is to control. You can adjust everything directly on the light using a small screen and knob. But if you don’t want to walk up to the light each time, you can control it using an app on your phone. The app connects wirelessly and lets you change color, brightness, or effects from a distance.

For bigger setups, the light can also connect to professional lighting systems through DMX or wireless options. But even if you’re working solo or with a small crew, you’ll find the controls simple and quick to use.

Has easily adaptable Lighting modifiers

The Aputure STORM 80c uses a smaller version of the Bowens mount, which is the same kind of mount used on many other Aputure lights. This allows you to attach softboxes, lanterns, barndoors, and other tools that help shape the light. For example, if you want softer light for interviews, you can use a softbox. If you want a more dramatic look with tighter shadows, you can add a grid or barn doors. The light gives you options without making the setup too heavy or complicated.

Multiple Power Options

You can power the Aputure STORM 80c in different ways depending on your setup. It runs on a standard AC power adapter, but also supports 100W USB-C PD charging, which is great for portable battery banks. If you need full mobility, you can attach a V-mount battery using the optional handheld bracket, which also gives you a comfortable grip.

This means you can take the light anywhere, inside, outside, on a mountain, in a warehouse, you’re covered either way.

Aputure STORM 80c has IP65 Rating

The light is made with a solid aluminum frame that helps it stay cool while running. It has a quiet fan inside that keeps the temperature down, so it won’t overheat or make noise during filming. You can tilt it in any direction and mount it on regular light stands using the included yoke. The body is made of strong materials and is rated IP65, meaning it’s sealed against dust and can handle rain or splashes. This makes it a solid choice for outdoor use or fast-paced productions. Everything about the build quality feels reliable and professional. You won’t be replacing this light anytime soon, it’s designed to hold up over time.
