Aputure - Motorized CF16 Fresnel (Rolling Case Kit)

The Aputure CF16 Motorized Fresnel Rolling Case Kit is a professional, high-performance lighting solution engineered for cinematographers and studio technicians who demand unparalleled precision and convenience. This complete kit combines a state-of-the-art motorized Fresnel lens with a purpose-built rolling protective case, designed specifically for the powerful Aputure STORM XT52 lighting system. It transforms the fixture into a versatile tool for dynamic, repeatable, and remote-controlled beam shaping, making it an indispensable asset for film sets, broadcast studios, and high-end production environments. By integrating motorized focus with robust transport and mounting solutions, this kit addresses the core needs of modern lighting professionals working in complex or hard-to-access setups.

Key Features and Specifications
The Aputure CF16 kit stands out through its intelligent integration of optical engineering, motorized control, and practical design. Below are its core features and technical specifications.

Motorized Fresnel Lens Performance: Features a 16° to 60° continuously adjustable beam angle. The remote-controlled motor ensures precise, flicker-free transitions from a super-tight spot to a wide flood, enabling creative lighting effects and consistent adjustments shot after shot.

Remote Operation & Compatibility: Engineered for remote or grid-mounted operation where direct manual access to the fixture is impractical or impossible. It attaches seamlessly to the Aputure STORM XT52 via the standard ProLock mount, ensuring a secure and reliable connection.

Optical Quality: Delivers an exceptionally clean beam with smooth falloff and maintains optical integrity even at the narrowest 16° setting, providing crisp, controllable light without artifacts.

Integrated Rolling Case System: The included heavy-duty case offers far more than storage. It features integrated yoke mount suspension, allowing the light and lens to be stored safely, transported easily on wheels, and set up quickly directly from the case.

Professional Build & Protection: Constructed from rugged materials to provide superior shock and impact protection for the valuable Fresnel optics and the fixture during transit, whether on location or in a studio truck.

Primary Use Cases and Applications
This kit is designed for professional scenarios that require reliability, repeatability, and remote access.

Studio Grid and Truss Mounting: Perfect for permanent or semi-permanent installations in film studios, sound stages, and television studios. Technicians can adjust focus and beam angle from the lighting console without needing ladders or lifts.

Dynamic On-Set Lighting: Enables smooth, real-time beam transitions during a shot—such as a light spot narrowing to focus on an actor—adding a cinematic layer of movement to the lighting design.

Complex and Inaccessible Setups: Ideal for mounting lights in high, tight, or otherwise difficult-to-reach places, such as on catwalks, within vehicle rigs, or in elaborate practical sets, where manual adjustment is not feasible.

High-Value Equipment Protection: The rolling case is essential for rental houses, production companies, and freelance cinematographers who need to ensure their sensitive and expensive optics are perfectly protected during transport between jobs.
