Product Information

Full details

The Aputure STORM 80c Handheld Bracket is designed for mobile creators and on-the-go videographers who need a portable and stable lighting solution. Its primary benefit is enabling quick setup and flexible power options for the STORM 80c light. A key consideration is the need for compatible V-Mount or USB-C batteries, which are sold separately.

FAQs

Can I use any V-Mount battery?

The bracket supports V-Mount batteries, but ensure your battery has a D-Tap output port and is capable of providing sufficient power to the STORM 80c.

What type of USB-C power is required?

The STORM 80c requires a USB-C power source that can deliver the necessary voltage and amperage. Consult the STORM 80c's specifications for power requirements.

Does the bracket come with a battery?

No, the Handheld Bracket does not include batteries. Compatible V-Mount or USB-C batteries must be purchased separately.

Can I mount the light on a tripod using this bracket?

Yes, the bracket features a baby pin receiver at its base, allowing you to mount the STORM 80c directly onto light stands or tripods equipped with a baby pin receiver.

Is the yoke still usable with the bracket attached?

The Handheld Bracket attaches to the bottom of the light. You can still attach and use the STORM 80c's removable yoke, or detach the yoke and use the baby pin receiver for stand mounting.

How does the V-Mount plate help?

The V-Mount battery plate is positioned at the base of the bracket, serving as a counterbalance to the weight of the light. This makes handheld operation more comfortable and stable.

Troubleshooting

Light does not power on when connected to V-Mount battery

Ensure the V-Mount battery is charged and properly seated on the plate. Verify the D-Tap to DC Barrel cable is securely connected at both ends. Check that the V-Mount battery supports D-Tap output.

Light does not power on when connected via USB-C

Confirm the USB-C power source (battery or adapter) is compatible and sufficiently rated for the STORM 80c. Try a different USB-C cable or power source.

Bracket feels loose on the light

Re-seat the bracket onto the STORM 80c, ensuring it clicks into place or is firmly attached according to the light's design. Check for any debris obstructing the connection.

Baby pin does not fit securely

Ensure you are using a standard 5/8" baby pin. Check the receiver for any obstructions. Do not force the pin if it does not fit properly.
