The single-source LED is their biggest yet, at\u00a0three times as powerful as their previous light, the COB\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.aputure.com\/en\/LS-C120.html\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">120D<\/a>. Not only is the light powerful, but it is also extremely compatible\u00a0with their other products and extremely easy to use. <em>No Film School<\/em> caught up with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/aputurephoto\/featured\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Ted Sim from Aputure<\/a> to talk about the new light.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iR2zR1GDjTI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The light contains a magenta glass filter, which bumps the <strong>TLCI from 94 to over 98<\/strong>. On top of being an all around powerful light, the 300D no longer wastes energy. Instead of bringing a generator out to set, you will now be able to run the light off its<strong> two 30-watt batteries<\/strong>\u00a0for over an hour and a half. This portability is a game changer if you need to shoot in remote locations with limited crew.<\/p>\n<p>One of the best features of\u00a0the light is the remote. If you&#8217;ve owned Aputure products in the past, you&#8217;ll be able to use the remote for the 300D as well as other Aputure lights.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The 300D is a single-source LED<\/strong>, not a panel, which means you will get a hard shadow, unlike panels that usually create\u00a0multiple little shadows.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-89948 size-full\" title=\"NAB 2017: Aputure's New 300D LED Light \u2014 Mini Dome\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Aputure-2.jpg\" alt=\"NAB 2017: Aputure's New 300D LED Light \u2014 Mini Dome\" width=\"755\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Aputure-2.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Aputure-2.jpg?resize=300,179 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Aputure-2.jpg?resize=277,165 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Aputure-2.jpg?resize=359,214 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Aputure-2.jpg?resize=543,324 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Aputure-2.jpg?resize=560,335 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Aputure-2.jpg?resize=150,90 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Also announced with the 300D is the <strong>Mini Dome<\/strong>, which is less than half as thick as their previous Light Dome.
