Aputure XT52: The HMI Killer
In the world of professional filmmaking, lighting is everything. It defines the mood, directs the audience’s focus, and ensures that every frame is a work of art. Aputure, a brand that has consistently pushed the boundaries of film lighting technology, is once again changing the game with its latest release—the Aputure Electro Storm XT52. Designed for filmmakers who demand power, flexibility, and cutting-edge technology, the XT52 delivers unparalleled output and control, making it an essential tool for productions of all scales.
And the best part? Revolt Camera will have the Aputure XT52 available in mid-April, ensuring that filmmakers have access to the latest and greatest lighting solutions for their projects.
One of the standout features of the Aputure XT52 is its sheer output. With a staggering 5200W of power, it is one of the most formidable LED fixtures in the industry. This level of brightness rivals traditional HMI lights while maintaining the efficiency and versatility of an LED system. Whether you’re shooting on a massive outdoor set or need a powerful key light in a controlled environment, the XT52 provides the firepower required for high-end productions.
Unlike many high-output LED solutions, the XT52 boasts a color temperature range of 2,000K to 10,000K, allowing cinematographers to match any ambient lighting condition with precision. Whether you need to replicate the golden hues of sunrise or the icy blues of moonlight, this fixture has you covered.
Flicker-Free Performance for High-Speed Cinematography
High-output lights often struggle with flicker issues, particularly when shooting at high frame rates. The XT52, however, is built with flicker-free dimming, ensuring that it performs flawlessly in slow-motion cinematography. Whether you’re capturing an intense action sequence at 240fps or a delicate motion shot at 1000fps, the XT52 ensures that lighting remains smooth and consistent, free from distracting artifacts.
This makes it an ideal choice for commercials, music videos, and high-speed film productions, where every frame must be flawless.
Precision Control & Connectivity
Even with the extension system, there’s no compromise on image quality. The Venice 2 still delivers breathtaking 16-bit linear RAW and X-OCN formats.
Durability and Portability: Built for the Demands of Film Sets
TLighting equipment often faces harsh conditions on set—extreme temperatures, unpredictable weather, and frequent transport. The Aputure XT52 is built with a rugged design, ensuring it can withstand the demands of professional production environments.
Additionally, its compact and modular design makes it easy to transport, set up, and integrate into existing lighting rigs. Whether you’re working in a high-end studio or a remote location, the XT52 is built to perform.
Compared to traditional HMI fixtures, the XT52 offers similar power output but with greater energy efficiency, instantaneous control, and a broader color temperature range. The XT52 is comparable to an Arri M90.
Against the Nanlux Evoke 5000B, the XT52 offers significantly higher output while maintaining superior flicker-free performance, making it a better choice for high-speed cinematography.
In terms of control, Aputure’s integration of Sidus Link and LumenRadio CRMX gives it a leg up over many competitors, offering seamless wireless adjustments on set.
Simply put, the XT52 is a future-proof lighting solution, combining power, flexibility, and intuitive control in a way that few other fixtures can match.
As the film industry moves toward more efficient and versatile LED lighting solutions, the Aputure XT52 stands out as a groundbreaking innovation. Its power, flicker-free performance, advanced control capabilities, and rugged design make it an essential tool for professional cinematographers and gaffers looking to elevate their productions.
Revolt Camera is proud to announce that the Aputure XT52 will be available for rental starting mid-April. Whether you’re a DP crafting stunning visuals, a gaffer seeking the best tools, or a production company looking to upgrade your lighting arsenal, the XT52 is a game-changer.
