False advertising, this is mark I. I'll report to Amazon.

Hey guys, Amazon are selling those Aputure Light Dome II for extremely cheap @179$. That's 44% off

At first I thought this was the Light Dome 1, still pretty cheap at this price. Then I looked closer and it was Light Dome II. I contacted Amazon and got confirmation that this is indeed Light Dome II. Grab it before it's gone. Already bought 2 myself.

Here's BHPhoto link https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1426991-REG/aputure_lightdome_ii_light_dome_ii_34_8.html.

Well I'm still skeptical, this might be a pricing error. Mine will arrive on Wednesday so I'll update to you guys.

    The price history shows it as being this price for 2 months, and only being $199 prior to that.

    • The price history was for Light Dome 1. Not II, beside the II has just been released, not even in stock at BHphoto, take this with a grain of salt, ưell Amazon is risk free anyway.

    havent heard of this brand before… would recommend elinchrom / profoto for professional job.

    Otherwise the new softbox product from magmod that can fit 2x ad200 looks good.

    Would recommend people to invest on something reliable, and it will have a better re-sell value in the future.

    Read this as Acupuncture Light Dome and almost bought one

    • Yeah, I was going to get one for my pyramid.

  • Did you confirm with the seller? Amazon just distributes.

    • On the Amazon page it says
      "Manufacturer reference Light Dome II + JYPHOTO Cloth"

      • Couldn't see this reference on the page? The images definitely belong to yhe v2 product (gel holder) but the description is for v1…

        • Exactly my thought. But I contacted Amazon and they confirm that its the Ver 2. If it not Im definitely up for a compensation.

      I bought 3 C120D II for 800 each on 26/12.

      • Great proce from where?

        • +1

          I bought it on eBay, original price was 1000, then there was a code for 10% off in boxing day, then another discount offer from vendor for buying 3.

      • From where?

  • how is this different to any other soft box light?

    • This is a bowen s mount octobox. Usually the cheapest one will cost you 200$ for a cheap one.

  • Good price, sounds like a good dome … got 1

  • Great price for the MKii. I have been using the original Light Dome & Light Dome Mini for a while now. Been eyeing off the MKii's, picked one up. Thanks OP.

  • https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B074H666GB/ something similar at half the price. Doesn't come with the directional grid though.

    • That doesn't have the quick setup and collapse feature. It might be cheaper but is also a pain to set up and break down, esp if you don't have assistants. Also no gel holder, no grid (decent grids are at least $60) and I'd question the quality of the reflective and scrim fabrics. I don't have the light dome but from reviews it is a decent product.

    • I use to have one of them, there is nothing bad about it but it doesnt have much extra over the cheaper unbranded options.

  • Is it worth investment if I use flash?

    • What kind of flash do you have? Flash gun or studio flash? If it's Flash gun you better off with regular soft boxes and umbrella, if it's studio then this might worth it. But keep in mind this is a very deep soft box.

  • Mine just arrived, its the Version I Light Dome, not the new one. Filing my return now…

    • Yep, just received mine, make sure to complain to help desk so they pull this listing down.

      • yep just got mine and its a 1 :( damn
