Aputure Spotlight Mount II 26deg Lens Kit

What is the Aputure Spotlight Mount II?

The Aputure Spotlight Mount II is a high-precision optical projection modifier designed for Bowens-mount point-source LED lights. Upgraded as the successor to the original Spotlight Mount, the Spotlight Mount II projects pin-sharp beams of light, crisp gobos, and hard-edged shapes. The 26° lens kit balances high output intensity with a medium beam spread ideal for theatrical, commercial, and narrative filmmaking setups.

What are the main improvements in the Spotlight Mount II compared to the original Mark I?

The Spotlight Mount II features significant optical, thermal, and mechanical upgrades over the original model:

• Superior Custom Precision Optics: Re-engineered multi-element glass lenses drastically reduce edge chromatic aberration (color fringing) and field distortion for sharp, true-to-color projections.

• Higher Heat Resistance: Upgraded internal heat management and aircraft-grade aluminum construction allow it to handle higher-wattage continuous LED fixtures without thermal degradation.

• Upgraded Shutter Blades: Redesigned 4-leaf internal shutter blades offer smoother, more precise light-cutting angles with zero light bleed.

• Enhanced Drop-in Slot: Features a dual-purpose drop-in slot that simultaneously accommodates standard A-Size gobos, an iris, or motorized gobo rotators.

Which LED lights are compatible with the Aputure Spotlight Mount II?

The Spotlight Mount II features a universal Bowens S-Type Mount with robust locking mechanisms, making it compatible with a wide range of point-source LED fixtures:

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

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

• Third-Party Lights: Any high-output Bowens-mount point-source LED light capable of handling projection optics.

What accessories are included in the Aputure Spotlight Mount II 26° Kit?

The Spotlight Mount II 26° Lens Kit comes complete with a professional projection package:

• 26° Interchangeable Projection Lens (interchangeable with 19° and 36° lens options)

• Spotlight Mount II Housing with integrated 4-leaf internal shutter blades

• A-Size Gobo Holder & sample steel Gobos

• Drop-in Iris for continuous beam size adjustment

• Gel Frame for color correction and creative filters

• Heavy-Duty Hard Carrying Case with custom foam insert

What is the difference between 19°, 26°, and 36° projection lenses?

The beam angle determines the throw distance, projection circle size, and output brightness:

• 19° Lens: Delivers the tightest beam, longest throw distance, and maximum light concentration (ideal for long distances or high-contrast spots).

• 26° Lens (Included in this Kit): The most versatile "all-rounder" option, offering an ideal balance of intensity and beam size for general key lighting, textures, and gobo projections.

• 36° Lens: Creates the widest projection field for lighting large background areas or close-range gobo patterns.
