Product Information

Full details

Designed specifically for professional cinematographers and photographers using the STORM 1200x or 1000c fixtures, the Aputure CF12 Barn Doors offer precise light-shaping capabilities through an eight-leaf design. These doors are ideal for anyone needing to minimize light spill and focus output on specific subjects; however, users should note that they are exclusively compatible with the CF12 Fresnel attachment and are not designed for direct mounting to the light fixture alone.

FAQs

Can I use these barn doors without the CF12 Fresnel?

No, the CF12 Barn Doors are specifically designed to mount to the CF12 Fresnel accessory.

Are these compatible with the Aputure 600d or 600x?

No, these are specifically engineered for the STORM 1200x and 1000c series fixtures when using the CF12 Fresnel.

What size scrims do these doors support?

They are designed to accept standard 33cm (13-inch) metal scrims.

Are the extensions removable?

The extensions are integrated into the design to provide the 8-leaf functionality; they should not be removed.

How do I clean the barn doors?

Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe away dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that might strip the black matte finish.

Troubleshooting

Barn doors feel loose or swing during movement

Check the mounting collar on your CF12 Fresnel to ensure the locking mechanism is fully engaged and tightened.

Scrim will not fit into the holder

Verify that you are using a standard 33cm (13-inch) metal scrim and that no debris is obstructing the internal slot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-precision beam shaping with 8-leaf configuration
  • Sturdy, professional-grade build quality
  • Integrated slot for 33cm scrims reduces the need for extra mounting gear
  • Easy to attach and adjust during fast-paced shoots

Cons

  • Requires the CF12 Fresnel to function
  • Adds significant size and weight to the front of the fixture
  • Not compatible with other standard Aputure barn door systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your CF12 Fresnel is securely mounted to your STORM 1200x or 1000c. The barn doors are designed to snap or lock onto the front accessory ring of the CF12 Fresnel. When adjusting the leaves, do so gently to avoid bending the metal hinges over time. If using heavy metal scrims, ensure they are fully seated in the retention slot to prevent accidental slipping. To maintain the finish, store the barn doors in a protective case when not in use to avoid scratches on the black powder coating, and wipe clean with a dry, lint-free cloth if they accumulate dust on set.
