Aputure: new Quick Dome diffusers and INFINIMAT updates

INFINIMAT, the rental-grade inflatable mat lighting available in a wide range of sizes, gets new design and accessories, while the new Quick Dome diffusers are designed to set up and collapse in seconds.

Aputure announced that the new Quick Dome diffusers set up and collapse in seconds, use a robust frame for long life, and include a convenient handle for quick assembly. The INFINIMATs are, the company says, updated with a new interchangeable diffusion design and accessories.

“Aputure is always striving to refine our products,” explains Mitch Gross, Aputure Director of Marketing. “The new Quick Domes pop open in seconds and satisfyingly click into place. They’re just as easy to put away, and they pack flat for storage. The INFINIMATs are in high demand by discerning filmmakers like Academy Award winner James Friend, who used them throughout his new film Ballad of a Small Player. Aputure actively seeks input from filmmakers like Friend, and we revised the INFINIMAT line with a clear airbag, interchangeable diffusion, and designed accessory diffusion frames so the mats could be used without the airbag. Aputure’s goal is to build lighting products that make the filmmaker’s job easier.”

The new Quick Domes are available in three sizes: 90cm, 60cm, and 40cm. The Quick Dome 90 and Quick Dome 60 feature a Bowens mount with an integrated handle for leverage and easy grip. The Quick Dome 40 uses the smaller Mini ProLock mount for attaching to the STORM 80c. All three sizes fold flat for storage and include removable diffusion, a light control grid and carry bag. The STORM 80c 3-Light kit now includes the Quick Dome 40.

The INFINIMATs use an inflatable airbag to give structure to the light and provide diffusion. The airbag is now clear with interchangeable diffusers, allowing users to select the look while providing a smooth, seamless surface across the unit. In addition, as an optional accessory, Aputure also offers a collapsible frame with interchangeable diffusers, which can be used instead of the airbag. The new clear airbag with interchangeable diffusers will be included on all models of INFINIMATs, and the accessory frames with diffusers will be available for the 1×2, 1×4, 2×4, and 4×4 models. Current owners of INFINIMATs can purchase replacement part clear airbags with interchangeable diffusers to update their lights.

The new Quick Domes and updated INFINIMATs from Aputure are available now.
