Aputure Quick Dome 60 With Carry Case

What is the Aputure Quick Dome 60?

The Aputure Quick Dome 60 is a compact 60cm (2-foot / 23.6-inch) 16-sided hexadecagon parabolic softbox engineered for rapid deployment on tight film sets, run-and-gun location shoots, and photography setups. Designed for Bowens-mount point-source LED lights, it features a quick-release speed ring mechanism that tension-locks all 16 steel support rods in seconds, a reflective silver interior, multiple diffusion options, a 40° fabric grid, and a flat-packing carry case.

How does the quick-release setup mechanism work on the Quick Dome 60?

Unlike traditional circular softboxes that require manual, rod-by-rod assembly, the Quick Dome 60 utilizes a central quick-release latch on the speed ring. Pressing the latch brings all 16 steel support rods to full operational tension simultaneously in a matter of seconds. Teardown is equally fast—releasing the latch collapses the softbox completely flat for rapid storage and transit.

What accessories are included in the box with the Quick Dome 60?

The Aputure Quick Dome 60 comes as a complete light-shaping kit including:

• Front Diffusion Cloths: Includes both a 1-stop and 2-stop front diffusion cloth to adjust softness and light transmission.

• Inner Baffle: A removable interior diffusion layer for double-diffused, ultra-smooth illumination.

• 40° Fabric Light Control Grid: Attaches easily via touch-fastener to control light spill and increase directional contrast.

• Carrying Bag: Heavy-duty travel bag designed for flat-packed transport.

What is the difference between the Aputure Quick Dome 60 and the Quick Dome 90?

The primary difference is size and light wrap:

• Quick Dome 60 (60cm / 2ft): Designed for tight spaces, headshots, small talent setups, run-and-gun filmmaking, and lower-wattage point-source lights (e.g., STORM 80c, STORM 400x, amaran 100/200 series). It packs lighter and smaller.

• Quick Dome 90 (90cm / 3ft): Designed for medium-to-large key light applications, multi-person talent coverage, and higher-wattage fixtures (e.g., STORM 700x, STORM 1200x, LS 600 series) where broader, softer light wrap is required.

Which LED lights are compatible with the Aputure Quick Dome 60?

The Quick Dome 60 uses a universal Bowens S-Type Mount (featuring a snap-in removable Bowens mount chuck). It is fully compatible with:

• Aputure STORM Series: STORM 80c (via Bowens adapter), STORM 400x, STORM 700x, STORM 1000c, and STORM 1200x (via ProLock Bowens Mount).

• Aputure Light Storm Series: LS 600c Pro / Pro II, LS 600d Pro, LS 300x, LS 300d II, and amaran Bowens-mount lights.

• Third-Party Lights: Any studio strobe or point-source LED light equipped with a standard Bowens mount.

Key Specifications Summary

The Quick Dome 60 is a circular Bowens mount softbox featuring a parabolic design that pairs with the STORM, Electro Storm, and Light Storm fixtures. The softbox has a reflective silver interior and provides a soft, even light output.

A quick-release latch on the speed ring allows users to quickly set up the tension on all 16 steel support rods in seconds, making installation a breeze. The lateral side handle provides easy mounting setup and control, and comfort when mounting. When not in use, the softbox folds down flat, making it easy to store in the included carry bag.
