Aputure Softbox 150cm

A 150cm (5ft) parabolic circular softbox — the big gun for wrapping large spaces and groups in soft, flattering light. Its 32-sided build delivers near-perfectly round catchlights, and the quick-release frame means it's up and on a stand in about a minute. Two diffusion strengths let you dial in exactly how soft you want it. Ideal for interviews, fashion, beauty and full-length portraits where you want a genuinely large, even source.

Diameter: 150cm (59in) · Depth: 80cm (31.5in) 32-sided design for circular reflections Mount: Bowens Diffusion: 1.5-stop and 2.5-stop front diffusers 45° fabric light-control grid included Weight: 3.32kg Includes: softbox, two diffusers, grid, speed-ring adapter, carry bag

Aputure Light Dome II

A 34.8in (88cm) 16-sided softbox — the workhorse modifier for one or two people. Compact, fast to build and broad enough for clean, wrap-around light with natural catchlights, but small enough to control in tight rooms. Removable inner diffuser plus two front diffusers give you fine control over softness and contrast, and the 40° grid plus gel holder add directional and colour options. The go-to for interviews, headshots and portrait work.

Diameter: 88cm (34.8in) · Depth: 60cm (24in) 16-sided design, 16 steel support rods, silver interior Mount: Bowens Diffusion: removable inner diffuser + 1.5-stop and 2.5-stop front diffusers 40° fabric grid and gel filter holder included Weight: 3.31kg Includes: softbox, inner + two front diffusers, grid, gel holder, speed ring, carry bag

About the kit — and hiring local

I'm a Birmingham-based commercial DP and filmmaker. This isn't a rental house — it's a working kit that I use on my own shoots, kept in good condition and owned by someone who understands how it's actually used on set. If you're looking for a more flexible option than driving to London and back, or need a DP who turns up with their own gear, this is it.

Collection is from Stirchley, Birmingham (B30) — minutes from the A38, with easy reach of the M42 and M5. Delivery can be arranged across the West Midlands — Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Solihull, Walsall, Dudley — and further afield by arrangement. I also work regularly across Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire.

Dry hire vs DP+Kit

Rates above are dry hire — kit only, insured by the hirer. If you'd rather book me as a director of photography with the kit included, the rates restructure around a day rate plus kit — usually cheaper than combining the two separately, and you get a working operator who knows the gear inside out. Get in touch.

Insurance and terms

Hirers must have production insurance or equipment-specific cover. I'll ask for proof before collection. Short-term cover is available through providers like Aaduki, Performance Film & Media, and Towergate. Happy to point you in the right direction if you're not sure.
